When I logged into my computer, I found the article "6 Mistakes Men Makes on Valentine's Day" on my home page. Not wanting to make any mistakes with the Hardygirl, I read away, and the last item was particularly interesting:
"Mistake #6: Under-dressing
"Don't wear jeans. No matter how well they fit, denims are not invited to your romantic evening for two.
"Why it's bad: It suggests the day isn't as important to you as it it may be to her. Plus, getting a little dressed up adds an element of excitement that breaks the casual routine you may share on a standard date night. And excitement boosts oxytocin, the bonding hormone released during new, exciting activities that brings couples together.
"The fix: Whether you're staying in or partying like a rock star, let Daniel Craig, aka James Bond, be your style muse, says men's fashion site Dappered. For a night in, try casual khakis and a crisp white shirt, like Craig wore during a scene in an Italian villa in 'Quantum of Solace.' For a red carpet look, try a skinny tie, or a slim-lined gray suit, like Craig has donned at premieres."
So how 'bout that? Fifty years on, and the cinematic Bond is still showing us guys how to win a lady's heart! And if you want to read the whole article, you can find it here:

Can't go wrong with a suit. Just CANNOT. And if you don't want to wear a suit, a pair of NICE, tailored black trousers (pants for Americans) and an oxford shirt (white or light blue) will definitely do. Ahem, if you're not wearing a tie with the oxford shirt, it obviously MUST be button-down (as in button-down collar). If you ask me, the ideal is black trousers and an equally well-tailored white shirt. No tie needed. Needless to say the shoes need to be elegant. That's dressing up without wearing a suit and while staying comfortable. And, not for Valentine's Day but in general. I couldn't care less since I have had much more important things to celebrate on Feb. 14 than Valentine's Day... for all my life
Lois Maxwell's birthday? Didn't know that you were such a big Moneypenny fan! ;%
You've won me over !! ) )
Happy birthday ale....apols for delay but have been in the air for 30 of the last 72hrs...
Of course many guys on here would love to have a girl whose birthday is also vals day..
Two dates for the price of one card and a whole industry set up to remind them weeks ahead would definitely appeal to the econo-misers! :v
