Distance doesn't have to be a barrier when showing your affection on this romantic day. Express your love in the following ways.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Send a bouquet of flowers to your lover's workplace (you'll get bonus points for the public display of your affection).

  2. Step 2

    E-mail your mate an electronic valentine. (See "How to Send an Electronic Valentine's Day card.")

  3. Step 3

    Fax a photocopy of candy hearts with endearing messages such as "Miss You" or "U R Hot".

  4. Step 4

    FedEx or mail a package of love. Include chocolate, candy hearts, a recent photograph of the two of you that your lover has never seen, a poem you wrote yourself (or a copy of an e.e. cummings poem, for example, if you're not the romance-writer type), a "homemade" tape including songs that put you both in the mood.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange for a singing Valentine to surprise your sweetie at work. (See "How to Send a Singing Valentine.")

  6. Step 6

    Plan a wakeup call for Valentine's morning, ensuring that the first words your lover hears on Valentine's Day are either "I love you," or "I had a dream about you last night..."

  7. Step 7

    Spend the evening writing a love letter or putting together a Valentine's scrap book to send to your lover the following day.

  8. Step 8

    Schedule a phone date toward the end of the evening, perhaps sending your valentine some sensuous bath oils and a bottle of champagne ahead of time to coincide with the call. Topics of conversation? Use your imagination.

Tips & Warnings
  • If your bank account allows, plan a trip for a Valentine's Day weekend with your lover. If you can pull it off, make it a surprise. Book dinner reservations ahead of time, or be prepared to whip up a romantic feast for two from your sweetie's kitchen.

on 2/12/2007 You have to trust your lover, that is the first thing to do. You are not with him and you keep wondering about his love for you, if he went out with some other girls? He will give up on this love, what he is doing now, why he didn't answer the phone or call you, then end up thinking what if he is cheating on you. Those things will mess your mind up. If you love someone, you have to believe in yourself and your partner. Write letters, send e-mail every week, send him pictures of you with your friends Contact and keep in touch with his family, his friends, whoever is around him. Make him feel safe. Don't play seek and hide games, you two are not together. Answer his calls. Be creative. Surprise him. Tell him any of your plans for the relationship. Miss him, love him, care for him.

on 11/22/2005 Despite how far away from each other you might be, and be it the case that you can't be together on Valentine's, then there are a lot of things you can do. Make a short film ahead of time with only you in it, telling your significant other how much they mean to you, how much you miss them, and how you can't wait till the next time you see each other. Include something that you both have shared and equally greatly enjoyed. Make a date for the day you meet up again. A short film is the perfect way to really "show" your lover how much you care. And it can be sent through a courier service and made to arrive whenever you want. Romance is possible, you just have to be creative when you're so far apart.
