Valentine's Day is meant to be the most romantic day of the year.
Sex up the day of love with these fantastic tips from a love expert and random finds on the interwebs.

Here are five Valentine's Day ideas. Find your bliss:

1. Do the dirty with your Valentine before the flowers and the restaurant and those enormously-shiny heart-shaped ballons, says relationship and sex advice columnist Dan Savage in his old (but popular, and reappearing) "Savage Love" podcast. Flip the order around, so you don't sleep through the good parts. Remember: You snooze, you loose.

2. Hole up with your better half, and make Valentine's Day cocktails, such as "Love Potion Number 5" or "Peachy Love Sparkler." Enjoy "Midnight Snacks for Lovers" with Air Supply - Making Love out of Nothing at All playing softly in the background.

There's no telling where the night will take you...

4. Give your beau the World's Best Kisser Award.

5. Be that cheesy looking couple you would normally point and laugh at, but with extra mush. Get lovey-dovey with your sweetheart and pump each other up for the big day with a schmaltzy date at the charming Brix Restaurant & Wine Bar in Yaletown.
