I think tucking your shirt has nothing to do , and it doesnt mean that their slobs(montgomery932) there are shirts that dont require taking off. Besides who cares your going to be taking it off after dinner when u end up in a hotel..WOOHOO!

"Don't dare tuck in your shirt?" Some shirts belong tucked in and some don't. I'd be horrified by a date who left a button-down shirt (with a hem clearly meant for tucking in) untucked!

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. In North America and Europe, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two early Christian martyrs named Valentine. Valentine of Rome: a priest in Rome who suffered martyrdom and was beaten and beheaded. Valentine of Terni: He became bishop of Interamna and is said to have been killed during the persecution of Emperor Aurelian The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Chaucer was a poet and sold his poems to those who could not say the words of love that so easily rolled from his quill. So to say,, the holiday was created to sell something!!

Totally wonderful advice!!! The only thing I can't agree on is the shirt-tucking, but that's because my boyfriend is a cowboy and no respectable cowboy goes untucked on a date. But that's just a matter of style. :-) I hope your advice helps people have wonderful Valentine's dates or any dates!

Generally....i think an untucked shirt exudes sexy. Especially if it's unbuttoned at the top and you can see an underlying shirt.

Most guys that have a gut needs to tuck the shirt in... otherwise she might think you are going to have a baby boy since you are carrying so low.

Me too, I think it's sloppy when a man doesn't tuck his shirt in. Almost always...

Yeah hello pig, tuck in your shirt. This is "first date" procedures, not valentines. Valentines implies you've been with someone a while.

"Booty Nomad" is a terrific book about friendships, relationships, & being vulnerable. it has next to nothing to do with sex. i thought it was a terrific book. the suggestions (here) are good too. as someone who has trouble with insincerity & phoniness, i especially appreciate comments on such lists saying for girls & ladies to lay off the makeup, some go as far as mentioning leave your eyebrows alone too. some females have told me i should wear some but i think most makeup doesn't increase face value.

Make sure that you get preped for the night you never know what could happen. Better to be ready then sorry. Happy Valentines Day. If you wake up in the morning next to someone that you don't know then you preped toooo much. Good luck

I can't believe so many people can be so worried about an obvious corporate scam as Valentine's Day. Totally ridiculous.

Although these tips were okay, I'm not sharing my meal with anyone. I'm very personal with my food. A serious eater if you will.

I have to say I am 16 years older than my husband and I am always telling him NOT to tuck in his shirt. Old men tuck in their shirts. lol

I have to concur with you sugarcube7t, my husband is a cowboy and not once did he show up for a date and not have his shirt tucked in! It's old school, but with the hat and belt buckle...it's SEXY! ;-)

"For the love of button downs, don't you dare tuck in your shirt! " What a moronic tip! This is why EVERY GUY goes out wearing the same "uniform"... jean & untucked striped shirt. Horrible. How about a little individual style? Sometimes untucked is good, sometimes tucked is good. Rules like this one are never good!

I'm sorry but you're off the mark on # 3. A guy with Style knows the untuck shirt thing was sooooo last year..... Besides, if you're in shape, what better way to show her your bod....
