“I’m just gonna fly by the
seat of the pants,” said Hart. He
also went on to say that he and
his girlfriend do not really get
into Valentine’s Day so they
aren’t expecting too much.
Some people just want to
stay home and watch a movie
with their loved ones or just
pretend it’s like every other
day. Since this year Valentine’s
Day is on a school/work night
for most people, plans may
have to wait for the weekend.
First year student Marissa
Herberger decided that if she
were to be given the most ideal
gift it would have to be to have
no classes. “Well since it is
Work Thursday, I have lab class but I

otherwise.

Valentine’s Day is a time
for love and lust among couples
g and a time o f mouming for the
single ladies and gents. M ost
couples out in the world have
a dream o f ending die night in
bed, some single people do, too, j
but how can you assure that that
will happen?
Valentine’s Day used to be
mostly about love and romance.
However, times have signifi­
cantly changed and today it is
mostly about what kind o f lin­
gerie to buy or what new playful
toy you can use to spice up the
night.
Here are some hefpfiil tips
for how to seduce (in a proper
and polite way) your significant:
other on Valentine’s Day with
the most romantic o f gifts and
events. These steps are not only
for the people in a relationship
but single people as well.
The beginning is key: know­
ing what to plan, how the person
will react to it and what necessi­
ties to purchase. The best idea
is to take your partapc put $ £
dinner, it is more romantic than
breakfast or lunch and night­
time genuinely brings people
closer together. Even the staff
at CCC enjoy going out for
the big night. Custodial staff
member Glenn Armstrong has
three or four women he may
be hanging out with this V-Day.
His ideal night is “hanging out
with my friend and going bowl­
ing and drink a few beers,” said
Armstrong.
A helpful hint is that you can
never go wrong with a surprise
as long as your partner does not
have any anxiety issues.
Start by planning reserva­
tions at your partner’s favorite
restaurant. Also, most restau-
ramsw4U-letvoH-w(terfm-«pp©-
tizer ahead o f time as a special
treat that can be awaiting you
as you get to dinner. Make sure
you have your flowers and card
ready at the door. Although, if
you are taking a guy out to din­
ner, having his favorite candy
bar in hand will suffice.
AJ Ballard, a student at
CCC, said in response to what
he would do to guarantee him
getting. lucky, “Well, take het to
a nice dinner, maybe putt-putt,
dessert, then rent a movie. With
flowers and shit.”

Step two. is quite simple.
Give your attention to the per-
son you have chosen to take out.
Make sure they are in a great
mood and talk about things that
make them laugh. Don’t bring
up topics that you know they
will not enjoy like, work. Also,
complimenting throughout die
night lets the other person know
how glad you are to be there. If
you are a complimenting a girl,
stick with words like beautiful
and gorgeous. For those o f ybju
complimenting guys, talk about
how rugged and handsome they
look that evening.

If you are- in love;, this
Valentine’s D ay dinner could
be the perfect timeTo let them
know just how you feel. Another
staff at CCC, Napoleon Hodgers
is doing just that. “We will prob­
ably go to dinner or something.!
But she in titule^ ->0 J gotta do
what she says. I am going to be
home waiting o n h e r hand and
foot,” said Hodgets,
Last, but not least, step num­
ber three is to end the night with
a bang! We don’t mean this
literally ... just show how much
you really care for that person
and try to be as ro m aatiehs
possible. To guarantee die night
leading into the bedroom, you
want to make the moments at
the end o f the night as intimate
as possible. We aren’t going to
tell you what to do after you
get in the bedroom, but it’s all
you until the moment the night
comes to an end, so just follow
our steps, maybe add some of
your own tricks and you’ll end
your Valentine’s Day right.

Val

how
ciate them or
not have one; a day to
spend with afl the
you love. People say
even a holiday, it’s a Hallmark
holiday that a company created
and have made big bucks out
of it. I asked around campus to
see what students wanted to do
for their loved ones on the most
romantic night of the year.
Growing up, children love
going
to
t h e
sto re
and picking
out the coolest cards to give to
their classmates. They have to
make sure that they are not like
the other kids and have the best
candy attached to them.
