If you're single, it's a chance to mingle. If you're "wifed-up," it's the time to lay it down. Valentine's Day always sneaks up on you and everyone has high expectations. If you want yours met, then you best meet hers. But, guess what: Statistically speaking, you probably haven't even begun to BAMCIS this date, and just winging it is not acceptable. No worries, brother. We've got you covered.

Here are 5 tips that will have her grateful to be your Valentine

1. Don't take her to dinner and a movie.

No one is saying this isn't a perfectly acceptable date. It is — just not on V-Day, my man. Be a little more original instead of relying on this old standby. Do something interactive, something fun — a date that feels like an adventure.

Basically, you want to plan a date that will make her friends jealous when she tells them about it.

2. Make sure she has the 15th off.

Valentine's Day often falls right in the middle of the regular work week and not many companies treat it as a holiday. So, do the next best thing and call in for her.

Let her boss know that she'll be busy recovering from the date you've got all planned out and that she'll need the entire day in order to get back to reality.

D'awww, so sweet.

3. Don't let her get hungry.

If you don't already know, learn this now: If she is hungry, she isn't happy.

It seems simple enough, but your date is likely privy to dropping hints and subtleties. You, being accustomed to overt statements and barked orders, might miss these clues, creating a situation where she seems mad for no reason at all.

It's not what you did, it's what you didn't do!

You didn't provide snacks. Bring tasty treats and she'll able to focus on how amazing her Valentine is. Also, don't watch her eat.

Yum yums. Trust.

4. Keep the drinks flowing.

This one seems obvious, however, it can be overdone. This tip requires a nuanced touch and everyone is different with regards to tolerance. Stick to one drink per hour and make sure she enjoys them. Find out her favorite fruit, smash it up, add some sugar, drain through a sieve, add some good vodka, and finish with equal parts champagne.

Garnish with the same fruit and some mint and boom, you just made her new favorite drink. If this seems too complicated, just get champagne. Everyone likes champagne.

Yep, that's the one.

5. Get her out of her norm.

If she's a city girl, rent a cabin in the hills. If she's a country girl, give her a night on the town. The idea is to get her out of her comfort zone and to be her comfort simultaneously.

If you create a situation where she is experiencing new things, great! But make sure she knows you have everything taken care of. If you plan on ending up in a hot tub, bring her a bathing suit. If you're going hiking, pack her some boots.

The ideas are endless and the guidelines are simple. Whatever you plan to do, be prepared and make sure she doesn't have any responsibilities aside from enjoying the ride.

Happy Valentine's Day, my friends.
