• Do your homework. Get to know your girl well, before you pop the question. Get to know her interests, her dislikes, and her general nature that will help you plan your proposal in a better way. If she is shy and an introvert, propose when you two are alone. If she is sporty and loves adventure, then take her for rock climbing and propose when you reach the top.
• All girls love flowers. So get a huge bouquet of roses and tell her how much you love her and how much she means to you. Tell her you would like to spend the rest of your life with her or alone. Be ready to be smothered by a genuinely happy woman's hug!
• Appreciate her for what she is. Tell her "you look beautiful" when she does not have any make up on. Tell her she looks amazing when she is having a bad day and mean it. She will love you for it and will readily agree when you propose. Just don't overdo it, as it may look fake.
• Girls love to be pampered so when you intend to propose, make sure you are chivalrous enough to make her feel special and at the same time not look vulnerable. Women want a strong man, not a wimp.
• Don't force her to say yes. The worst you can do is to push her around and threaten her dignity. Tell her to take her time and that you shall wait. Be a gentleman and respect her. Incase she doesn't want a relationship, she will let you know of it then and there.

How to Propose a Guy

It is the 21st century and women are as vocal as guys about their feelings. Though proposing has always been a man's job, it is not at all wrong for a woman to take the lead.

• Guys can be highly emotional and tend to feel vulnerable in overwhelming emotional situations. So make sure you both are in a place that is not too crowded. The idea of proposing your guy in the middle of a game is not very ideal!
• Make it memorable. A guy loves to be wooed as much as girls do. So propose in the most enjoyable way making the whole moment memorable. Propose in a place that means a lot to him. Maybe a neighborhood park where he grew up chasing squirrels, or the place where you went for your first date, all are special to him and can be made memorable by proposing him there.
• Not only girls, even guys love to receive flowers. So this Valentine's Day, send him a big bouquet of roses and card in which it is written," Will you marry me?"
• However you do it, do not show desperation. Guys are not too enthusiastic about marriage and can run faster than a cheetah at the very mention of commitment. Make it steady and don't be too pushy about it and make sure he is comfortable.
• Make the proposal utterly romantic. Invite him to a bar that is not too crowded or take a corner seat. Slip on that sexy black dress, let down your curls and make sure you look stunning. Order a nice drink and propose him while he takes that last sip. Just make sure he doesn't choke on it!

• Record a personal home video of the moments you spent together. You can also include nicknames you use for each other. Get your friends to re-enact these moments. In the end, the video shows you, proposing your love to your cherished one. Get it delivered to your beloved through a friend along with a bouquet of roses. It sure to win your beloved's heart and there is no way one can reject such a cute proposal.
• Another great idea for a proposal is to express your love on the big screen.

The always-energetic crowd will be your confidence booster and is sure to get a positive reply for your proposal.
• Another great idea to propose is on your beloved's birthday. It will make that day so special that it will be etched in his/her memory forever. You can take him/her for dinner and propose when it is just the two of you, or you can do it in front of his/her family and friends.
• A unique idea is to gift your beloved a jigsaw puzzle. Make sure you take out one piece from the puzzle beforehand. Ask him/her to solve the puzzle. When he/she realizes one piece is missing, take that piece out from your pocket in which it is written, "Marry me because you complete me". It is a beautiful way to show your beloved how much he/she means to you.
• Proposing while taking a walk in a romantic atmosphere like by the sea-shore, a secluded park or near a historical monument is also a good idea. It is simple, unexpected and is sure to win over your love. Make sure the timing is either early morning or late evening, around twilight. It adds to the romance.
• Gift him/her a small book in which "Will you marry me" is written in different languages. The english version can be at the end of the book. Another idea is to eliminate the page in which the english version is written. When they ask you what it means, propose!
• The last and the best way to propose is the traditional way. Go down on one knee, hold a single red rose on which the ring is tied with a ribbon and pop the question. Though old, this way is a sure winner and works every time.

How Not to Propose

In order to make sure that you make it special and emerge triumphant, we give you some of the worst ways of proposing. This should give you an idea of how not to propose.

• NEVER propose over the phone or the Internet. It is the worst you can do, as it is too impersonal. Loving is all about expressing your feelings, which do not come out over the phone or the Internet. It shows you are not very serious about the whole thing.
• Do not propose in front of a large crowd. You wouldn't want to embarrass your beloved and then get embarrassed yourself if he/she says No.
• Do not be too humorous. It will seem that you are not serious about this proposal. Being too humorous while taking a serious decision spoils the mood and the ambience and blows up the whole thing.
• Do not forget your manners and etiquettes while proposing. Don't propose while eating or while the person is at work. Give respect and you will get respect.
• Do not propose when you don't mean it. Many people propose in the spur of the moment and then later regret their action. Do not give someone hopes and then smash it all at once.

• Another idea is to write the story of a movie that is a favorite of both of you. Instead of the actors, write your and your beloved's name.

The first time he/she cried in front of you. Now relax. Write down what you feel about him/her after being close for a good amount of time. This love letter is emotional, heartfelt and most importantly, genuine.
• You can write a love letter based on your lover's prime interests. Is he a techie guy? Is she into fine arts? Write accordingly. You can even give nicknames associated with that interest. If the guy is into sports say basketball, he wouldn't mind being called Michael Jordan! Similarly if the girl is a die-hard dancing fanatic, you can name her Shakira! Write what is it that attracts you to him/her. The way he gives a stolen glance even during the most nail biting slam-dunk during his favorite game or the way she winks at you while practicing her moves.

Art of Seduction

Seduction has for ages been the most exciting thing in a relationship. Though most people are clueless as to how to seduce, they do not mind being seduced! It requires some amount of practice to master the art of seduction. But hey, practice makes you perfect! Now that you have nothing to lose, read on for some general tips for seduction. Also check out our sections on seduction tips for men and women.

Tips for Seduction:

• Eye contact is very essential when seducing. Eyes are capable of "speaking" your deepest emotions and they it better than actually talking! However, learn to maintain a steady gaze. Staring or gawking is big no-no.
• Set the correct atmosphere for effective seduction. The lighting, ambience and other things should be comfortable. Avoid extremes like too bright lights or too dull ambience. Music always works if it is soft and subtle. It shouldn't steal the thunder from you!
• Learn to dance if you can. Master a few moves and set the dance floor on fire. Nothing turns on a person more than dancing, as you can get intimate with each other without feeling awkward.
• Smile as often as you can. But please do not show your teeth as often. Like eye contact, your smile should also be controlled.
• Confidence counts. Do not stutter or look nervous. It can get very stressing and irritating. A confident person has much more chance of seducing than a person who lacks it.

First Kiss

Now that you have asked her out for dinner, let us proceed to the next step, which is absolutely essential if you want to make your beloved realize how much they mean to you. Everyone looks forward to a memorable first kiss. Kissing for the first time sure gives some people butterflies in the stomach. So worry not. We bring you some great tips for kissing the first time.

Make Sure You are Alone
One of the most important points to be kept in mind in order to make your first kiss memorable is to be all alone. You wouldn't want to lose concentration because of too many people around and make a mess out of it.

Have a Good Breath
It is very important that you have a good breath. Not only does it make you feel good, it will make your partner realize that you care about these little things that count a lot in making a moment special. In case you cant floss, make sure you carry some mint with you always.

Don't Ask
Never ask when you want to kiss. The feeling should come simultaneously to both of you. Else it will look more like obliging or forcing. The essence of your first kiss will be lost and you wouldn't be able to enjoy it fully.

Relax
It is very important to relax and take it easy. The moment should seem like it is in slow motion to make it last. The worse thing you can do is moving too fast and make the whole thing seem too rushed. It is the biggest turn off for a woman. So just relax and take it easy and slow.

The Right Moment
Make sure the right moment arrives before you proceed to kiss the other person. Too soon, and it will look as though you are desperate. Too late, and the moment flies away. So be ready and enjoy when the time comes.

Keep Your Eyes Closed
To feel the magic of your first kiss take over, just close your eyes and feel the moment instead of staring at it. It not only adds the magic to your experience, but also makes you feel less weird.

The Right Place
The place where you have your first kiss also counts a lot. The place shouldn't be cluttered and should be appealing to the eyes. It should have a touch of sensuality along with comfort.

Chinese Valentines Day

Valentines Day in China does not involve exchanging flowers and kisses as it does in the west. Instead, the Chinese Valentines day is celebrated in a very traditional way every year. Also known as Qi Qiao Jie, the Chinese Valentines' Day is celebrated on the seventh eve of the seventh month of the Chinese Lunar calendar. There are a few legends surrounding the origin of Chinese Valentines Day. Read further to know about these interesting folklores.

The first legend says that a cowherd, Niu Lang, saw the seven daughters of Goddess of Heaven during one of their visits to earth. He decided to have a bit of fun by running off with their clothing, while the daughters were bathing in a river. It fell upon the youngest and prettiest daughter Zhi Nu to ask him to return their clothes. They fell in love and married. The couple lived happily for a number of years. However, the Goddess of Heaven started to miss her daughter's presence, and instructed her to come back to Heaven. They were however allowed to meet once a year for the Goddess of Heaven couldn't see her daughter in a pitiable condition as she was separated from her lover. Thus, every year on the seventh night of the seventh moon, magpies came together to make bridge with their wings for Zhi Nu to cross and go to her husband Niu Lang.

Another legend is that Niu Lang and Zhi Nu were 2 pixies living on opposite sides of the Milky Way galaxy. The Emperor of Heaven keenly tried to bring them together as he felt sorry for the two lonely fairies. He accomplished the task a bit too well - Niu Lang and Zhi Nu became so mesmerized with each other that they discarded their work. Infuriated, the Emperor announced that the couple could only meet once a year i.e. on the seventh night of the seventh moon. On this day, star gazers in China celebrate Qi Qiao Jie by looking up at the east of Milky Way which represents Zhi Nu, and on the west side of the Milky Way, where Niu Lang waits for his beloved to unite with him. Chinese girls arrange fruits and incense stick as offerings to Zhi Nu, hoping to find suitable husbands.

Valentine for Osama
Little David comes home from first grade and tells his father that they learnt about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's Day is celebrated for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," he asks, "will God get mad at me for giving someone else a valentine?"
David's father thinks a bit, then says, "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"
"Osama Bin Laden," David says.
"Why Osama Bin Laden?" his father asks in shock.
"Well," David says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish boy could have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore."
His father's heart swells and he looks at his boy with newfound pride and says, "David, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
"I know," David says, "and once that gets him out in the open, the Marines shoot him!"
