My Valentines Day Tip

In a few days everyone freak on Live Journal is going to post why they hate Valentines Day, or why they love Valentines Day, or what they did with their partner or partners on Valentines Day.

Instead, I offer this preemtive tip:

Surprise your lover with The 12-Second Kiss

Add romance with this most simple technique. The next time you kiss your SO, kiss for a full 12 seconds. I don't mean 12 seconds of smooching, I mean one single kiss that lasts 12 seconds. Actually count. After 2-3 seconds your SO will register a lot of surprise, don't let them disengage. Keep is up.... 10... 11.. 12. Ahhhh.

For best results, do this the next time you are giving them a quick kiss goodbye or hello. Don't wait for some special romantic situation.

Post your results in a reply to this message. I'd love to hear if it worked for you as well as it worked for me.

(Note: I got this from an interview on NPR with a "romance expert" a while back.)
