Will you be my Valentine: Dating Tips for the shy | Valentine's Day from GettingPersonal.co.uk

1 February 2010

For lovers everywhere, Valentine's Day is all about spending quality time together and letting each other know how special they are. However, for single people hoping to make use of the perfect opportunity the day presents to make a move on someone special, it can be a somewhat daunting experience. As February 14th draws closer, we are torn between excitement at the chance to finally share our feelings and terror at the possibility of rejection and embarrassment. However, it is important to know that, despite appearances, everyone shares your fears when it comes to approaching a potential love interest and it is far better to take the risk and tell the special person how you feel than to spend your life wondering what might have been. So if you are a little shy when it comes to dating, take comfort from the fact that you are not alone and make the most of Valentines Day and the chance it gives you to tell someone special how you feel.

Valentines Day traditionally involved the exchange of handwritten notes between lovers and was a chance for people to reveal their feelings to someone special in a romantic and original way. Despite the abundance of mass-produced gifts and pre-printed cards on the shelves these days, it is still perfectly possible to recapture the traditional romance of the day with a personalised card or gift. By choosing something tailored to the personality of the recipient, you will show them that you pay attention to their unique interests and tastes. With a personalised Valentines day message that demonstrates your thoughtfulness, it should be much easier to persuade the object of your affections to get to know you better.

So how do you choose the right personalised card or gift to maximise your chances of getting a date as a result? Well, the trick is to choose a message that will appeal to the recipient's tastes. A flirty or provocative message might be perfect to get their pulse racing or they might be more impressed with a tender and affectionate greeting or even a funny poem. Try to think about what makes him or her smile then pick a style of Valentines greeting to suit. For example, if the special person enjoys risqué humour and is likely to be impressed with a confident and seductive Valentine's Day message, choose a personalised card that incorporates their name in a provocative design with a racy greeting to match. If you have your eye on a gorgeous man, make him blush with a bikini babe card, showing a beautiful, tanned female in a skimpy bikini with his name tattooed across her hip. Or for a lovely lady, send her your secret thoughts in a shower scene card, with her name spelt in soap on the naked torso of a hot and steamy man. Combined with a bold and saucy message, a risqué Valentine's card should leave the recipient in no doubt of your intentions and they are sure to be flattered by your daring. By making your feelings clear, the object of your affection will be much more likely to ask you out as they can be confident what the answer will be so with any luck, your courageous card might just lead to a first date with the man or woman of your dreams.

Or for a more romantic and tender Valentines message, you might prefer to send a luxurious gift to demonstrate how caring and attentive you can be. For the ultimate romantic gesture, a personalised Valentines champagne and truffles gift set with your loved one's name and a personal message printed directly on the bottle will be tough to beat. Whatever type of card or gift you choose to send, do make sure that the design and message also suit your own personality as you don't want to create an inaccurate image of yourself that you can't later live up to.

Once you have chosen and sent the perfect card and secured a date with the object of your affection, you have passed the first hurdle. However, the next step is the date itself, which can make even the most confident among us tremble with nerves. Thankfully there are a few tricks that can help you get over your fears and actually enjoy the meeting. The main thing to remember is to be yourself; it might sound obvious but many people try too hard to impress their date with false claims about themselves and their achievements. Not only will exaggerated stories increase your nerves as you struggle to remember what you have said, but if you do end up starting a relationship as a result of your date, you will have to confess sooner or later, leaving you looking silly at best and untrustworthy at worst. Dating is not an exact science but is all about getting to know new people and being open to new experiences. Valentine's Day is the perfect chance to ask someone out so take the risk, enjoy yourself and, most importantly, have some fun in the process.
