Isn't the upcoming date right near Valentine's day? Wasn't it Thursday (tomorrow?)

Close enough that makes no difference...

Buy a nice Valentine's card, and write a short message and seal it up.

Then, whenever she excuses herself to go to the restroom during the meal, slip it into her purse for her to find.

If that doesn't happen, or she takes it with her, get your waiter/waitress' attention, and give the envelope to him/her with the clear instruction to come back and innocently hand it to your date!

I feel that to almost ALL grown women, some gesture towards her on Valentine's day is INCREDIBLY important. Here's your chance to make it.

You mentioned that SHE suggested this date. Sure seems to suggest that she IS pretty interested in you, too.

So whether or not you decide to gift her with any other little thing or not, I'd offer that a Valentine's card is practically imperative. It'd very likely warm her heart, and feel special, no matter what else, at least...

If she is as sophisticated and classy as you say, I'd say a sport coat and tie/dressy slacks are fine. A tie is no longer necessary in work situations for professionals nowadays so you could forget that, perhaps, if you'd like.

But for sure, dress shoes that are well shined is an absolute must. Mature women of worth and good breeding definitely do notice and appreciate things like that ...I think they feel it shows respect and appreciation to them.


And you'll like how you look. I GUARANTEE it!
