In Love or Casually Dating

Valentine’s Day is upon us again and what a great time to look at the love and beauty that surrounds us. Whether paired up or solo, are we content in our own hearts? Can we grasp the truth that love starts on the inside? So many hearts feel so a lot of  pressure since the focus is romance and often those we are in love with don’t step up to our expectations. Why ponder the lack and be grateful for any love in your life right now. If you can’t find a trinket of love in your heart, perhaps it is time to look at love from a different set of eyes. Love comes from giving it away and often we need to give ourselves permission to love again. This media crazy day can stir the heart strings if you let it. Take a look inside and ask are you giving yourself the love you’re asking for? Love flows & expands when it is appreciated and shared from a generous heart. Think of all the people you love in your life and express it.
Single? Be your own Valentine and treat yourself to something sweet and make some fun plans. Don’t stay home alone and pout. So if you are alone this Valentine’s Day  there is love to express by taking the lead and plan a gathering of friends (even a few) and  go to  dinner ,go out dancing, bowling or to a play. I call it the “LOVE CLUB” and we have done this ritual for years.

Another option is to play cupid and bring along a single friend (of the opposite sex) who doesn’t know anyone in your group. Who knows what magic could happen! Plan ahead! Be in charge...Be your own Valentine! There are many events and parties happening around town so check the papers or plan your own.  Join me for my annual
“SPREAD THE LOVE~ Pre Valentines Day Cocktail Dance Party  on Friday, Feb 13th at a beautiful club in Venice. Come meet plenty of available singles all in one night and get in 2 for 1 if you Buy tickets in advance online ! Great food, dancing, a mixer and great prizes! Get Connected!

If you have a fun group and don't want to be in the crowds, have everyone bring a dish over and have a potluck and rent "When Harry Met Sally" or other good old romantic favorites. Have each person bring a gift (like a flower or chocolates) and celebrate love and friendship together. Count your blessings and toast to the love yet to come. Tell each other your vision and the type of person you’re looking for and assist and support each other you in your search.

In Love? If you have a special Valentine be grateful and take time to express the reason you have chosen this heart to cherish. It’s a day to be romantic and playful. Writing a love letter or a poem and leave sweet love notes can quick start the romance. Ladies often men feel so much pressure to know what you want, so subtle hints are great in casual conversation. But in these financial times ,you can also take the lead and tell your man you have something special happening and make a plan of your own, I have create theme nights with a special candles all over the house with Rose petals leading to a bath, massage, delicious food  and romance. Use your imagination and remember men are visual so wears something that brings out the goddess in you! 

Casual daters don’t be afraid to send a token of friendship even if you are not exclusively dating. Valentine’s Day is a day to express feeling but no worries…you don’t have to commit. Ladies…I work with mostly men and VD it is just not a big deal for most men so be cool if they don’t send roses. Just Chill! Here are a few suggestions for people who are just starting to date to do without going overboard. A small thoughtful gift make someone day  and you don’t have to spend tons of cash
1.Leave  a funny card and a small box of chocolates
2. Leave Hershey kisses at their door step or car  with a single flower.
3. Go to lunch instead of an expensive dinner
4. To ease the pressure…Discuss your thoughts and say “Hey I like you but we aren’t at the Valentines Stages yet and I am getting together with friends for a dinner if you’d like to join us.”Then your friends can check out your date and you can please everyone! Happy Valentine’s Day! Keep spreading the love and it will show up in your life! Come to my "Secrets into the Minds of Men" online Teleseminar
