Keeping A Log Of Quotes For Use On Valentine's Day
By Sally Brompton

Your sweetie looks deep into your eyes over a candle lit dinner and says “I can see the blue of the ocean and the depths of your soul reflected in your dazzling blue eyes.”, and you reply... nothing. Nada, zip, your mind's a completely blank, nuclear wasteland when it comes to romance.

Romance does not come easily to some of us, we choke on sappy phrases and freeze up at the thought of expressing emotion deeper than discomfort from last night's chili. So what's a romantically challenged person to do?

How about keeping a log of quotes to use on Valentine's Day? That's right, do some homework and steal the great lines from television and magazines all year long. Your next year's date for Valentine's Day will be dazzled by your charm, bowled over by your wit and intoxicated by your use of Valentine's Day quotes that you stole from others.

Isn't That Deceitful?

Well, it's all in how you look at it. You give Valentine's Day cards filled with quotes and sappy sayings written by some unknown Joe chained to his desk at Hallmark for the month of February right? Basically, stealing Valentine's Day quotes is the same concept, just smarter.

The important thing is to hide the evidence of your collection from the public. Don't write down quotes in plain sight and for Pete's sake; keep your notebook hidden! Think of yourself as the Sherlock Homes of romance, you're just doing research to find out what makes great Valentine's Day quotes work.

Learn to spot a good quote from a bad one. Be careful to observe what affect the quote has on the opposite sex. When in doubt, you can always try them out on your mom or sister if she can be trusted. In other words, if you showed up at her wedding in nothing but fruit of the looms, yeah, she's still mad, don't go there.

Be sure to memorize your material well. Nothing is worse than a botched romantic phrase during an intimate moment. But, if it does happen, don't despair, just play up the humor card and laugh right along.

Timing Is Everything

Learn to time your phrases just right. Space them out so that you don't sound like a daytime soap opera or a well worn cliché. Remember to pay attention to your surroundings and keep up with the conversation. Tuning out can mean sudden death for an ill-placed romantic saying.
