Last year, we took a look at Valentine’s Day from a guy’s perspective. This year, we’d like to celebrate the most trippin day of the year with a few Do’s and Don’ts for the fourteenth of February. I made my Valentine’s Day bones with flowers and cards, but now - a little older and a little wiser - I think I’ve got some insight on this made-up holiday that’s worth sharing.

If you’ve got suggestions for Do’s and Don’ts for Valentine’s Day, feel free to share them in the comments section. We’ll choose our favorite suggestion, and the Valentine’s Day wiseguy (or girl) will find himself with $110 worth of cologne and skin products on behalf of The Body Shop. To double your chances, post your Do’s and Don’ts both here and at The Body Shop’s Do This, Not That.

DO buy a card. For whatever reason, women love getting cards.

DON’T buy only a card. Even if it’s one of those awesome ones that plays music when you open it, a card alone does not guarantee an argument-free V-Day.

DO tell her that her hair looks good.

DON’T sigh in exasperation when you get the bill at dinner.

DO go out to dinner.

DON’T think that you can score a rad table if you haven’t already made a reservation. At this point, you should just give up. The ship has sailed, my friend.

Now, we’d love to hear yours…
