Love is in the air....

Let's just forget the Valentine's hype and use February as an excuse to talk "romance". Maybe it's the promise of Spring that turns our thoughts to love? Whatever it is, this time we are turning our focus to our men and what they need to do to be worthy of our attention:

. Show respect to your "date" - forget slogan t-shirts or worn out rugby shirts. Aim to look like a capable man and not someone who still hankers after carefree youth.
. Pay attention to your grooming - smelling irresistible is a must. Choose a cologne that "will burn into her memory" (for all the right reasons obviously)
. Pay attention to the details - this means having a hair cut and shave AND take a look at your fingernails too. Apparently "A man who takes care of his appearance is likely to take care of his home, his future and his woman".
. Dress appropriately for the occasion - but even if that occasion is a walk in the park DO make an effort. Well fitting jeans, cool casual jacket,warm scarf in a colour that you know looks so good on you...you get the gist.
. If your date is more formal then nothing beats a well-cut sharp suit. We are not talking boring and corporate here. Try this season's trend for light navy or charcoal grey. Team with a shirt that tones rather than contrasts (this is a date not an interview) and forget the tie.
. Footwear can seal your fate either way - within seconds. Must be clean and contemporary. I suggest leaving shiny black patent, or colours other than black or brown, to dancers or artists.

Feel free to forward this to any man in your life who could use the advice and maybe win your heart??
