L VE DOC WILL SEE YOU NOW

Our man’s got hot advice...

IT’S set to be the hottest Valentine’s Day ever – at least in weather terms.

We can look forward to spring-like 17C temperatures in many parts of the UK today, but some relationships are looking distinctly frosty.

Almost half of married couples do not plan to mark the most romantic date on the calendar.

And fewer than a quarter of our adult population will celebrate with a spot of naughty bedroom action.

According to vitamins firm SunVit-D3, British husbands and wives are so sick of the hype around February 14 that 41% of them will not even mark it.

And 30% of couples confess to having a low libido and say the fizz has gone out of their relationship.

With that in mind, I donned my sexiest robe and cooked up a romantic meal for one in my role as the Daily Star’s Love Doctor. Here are my top tips to make it a night to remember…

Do book a restaurant – you want to take your time tonight but not leave your loved one waiting for a table.

Don’t get a takeaway as it’ll just stink your place out and nobody wants curry on their sheets.

Do stock up on chocs as they are naturally aphrodisiac… and boxes of them are big enough to share.

Don’t promise 90 minutes of passion and then take your date to the football.

Do buy oysters. You can feed them to each other and pretend you aren’t just spending another night in.

Don’t promise to take your partner out for dinner and then head to McDonald’s.

Do send flowers. They are super cheap but everyone loves them.

Don’t shout the name of someone famous at a crucial moment of passion!

Do knock back the wine as even just the smell of it is an aphrodisiac. It will also help you celebrate long into the night.

Don’t moan you have work tomorrow, and ask for an early night. It’s boring.

Do use protection because safer is always sexier.

Don’t double book and then have your two dates attack you in the middle of a restaurant.

Do buy some candles as the lighting will help set the mood and spark the flames of passion.

Don’t pose in a pink dressing gown for a sexy shoot in a national newspaper.

Do take your socks off before you hit the sack.

And finally… don’t forget to buy a card!
