Make this February 14 particularly memorable with one -- or all! -- of these suggestions.

Step 1: Woo him
Instead of leaving the celebration up to him, plan something he'll enjoy, give him a formal invitation, and insist on paying for the date. Most men can't remember the last time they were wooed on Valentine's Day.

Step 2: Dress up
Unless it's inappropriate for the activity, get all dolled up. 39 percent of men in one poll said they'd like to see their special someone in "semi-dressy evening wear" on Valentine's Day.

Step 3: Give him a photo of yourself
Give him a glamour shot of yourself taken by a professional photographer. If you're in a long-term relationship with someone you trust, consider having tasteful nudes done.

Tip
Save some money by asking a local university to recommend a talented photography student.

Step 4: Give him bragging rights
Spring for something that gives him bragging rights with his buddies.

Step 5: Fulfill a wish
Think of an experience he'd love to have and make it happen; there are companies that specialize in fantasy wish fulfillment. Not sure what's on his dream list? Ask his friends.

Step 6: Say "I love you"
Say "I love you." Amazingly, a study found that men are more eager to hear those three little words on Valentine's Day than women are!

Did You Know?
An estimated 600,000 couples get engaged on Valentine's Day.
