Valentine's Day has a way of separating the men from the boys. Don't fall into the latter camp and roll up with a Shoebox card you got from Duane Reade, a box of Russell Stover chocolates wrapped in plastic with the price tag still affixed, and a prayer. She's not about that life. Instead, follow this simple three-step plan:
1. Make dinner reservations at a place she's mentioned in conversation.
2. Get a card and write actual sentences in it.
3. Buy her something sexy.
You can be sweet the other 364 days of the year. Here are the 11 Sexy Things You Should Buy Her This Valentine's Day.
