Valentine's tips. Already.

A dedicated PR person clearly knows my weakness. I can't resist a story pitch that includes advice on "getting that rock by V-Day."

Yes, I received an e-mail with that phrase in the subject line today. It was a pitch to interview Donna Estes Antebi, an author and Huffington Post blogger.

Hopefully I'll get engaged after reading the tips in this e-mail. I've cut and pasted some of the text below.

Sonya,
Donna Estes Antebi – recently on KTLA knows what’s “up” … and she’s got just the tip for you to stroke your man’s – ahem, ego! – just right so you’ll have that rock in no time!

7 Easy Ways to Please Your Man This V-Day (so he stays) according to Donna

1. Drop It Like It’s Hot (the extra pounds, that is) – He may never admit your butt looks big, but he notices, and his baby’s got back.

2. Just Say Yes! Yes! Yes! – Don’t make being too tired a habit, unless you want him to get tired of you. Just do it!

3. Size Him Up – It’s ok to exaggerate a tad and tell him he’s larger than life. Oh, baby; oh, baby.

4. Myth-ter Perfect – Accept that there’s no such thing as the perfect man. At least you have one to complain about!

5. Know when to zip it (and when not to) – He wants to talk about him, too.

6. Don't Be a Bitch – It takes under 30 seconds to pick his socks up off the floor and much, much longer to find someone new again.

7. Plan a staycation – get away by getting in bed!
