If you cannot get reservations, start scrambling to find restaurants that do not have reservations and do offer call-ahead seating. Call ahead on 15 minute increments starting 2 hours before you want to go. If you are with your "Valentine", you may need to slip out of the room to do this to keep the destination secret.

Once you are there, take a restroom break, find the waiter, and hand him enough cash to cover whatever you might purchase, plus a great tip - this will cost you more, but when the waiter says "thank you for dining with us Mr. so-and-so" and doesnt give you the bill at the end of the evening, it will be very impressive.

Dancing: Not a Club. Dear God, don't go to a club. There is nothing less romantic. Rent a nicer car than yours with a decent sound system, get a CD of old Frank Sinatra romantic songs, and pull off somewhere scenic and just dance together.

Presents: Everyone gets chocolate and roses, except your Valentine! Get. Something. Else. Sure, a chocolate or two and a rose should accompany the evening, but the primary money should be spent on something else. And not just lingerie. That is for you. Not her. Get recommendations from the florist.

Cards: Do get her a card. I know guys don't exactly care about the card, but she does. Even if she says she doesn't, she does. And even if she really doesn't, she will wonder why you didn't if you don't. Confusing? Just get the card.

Poetry: Write your own, even if it sucks. She knows you can't write. She knows that you will probably use a crayon to scribble it out to the beat of some 80's hair band ballad, but hey, its you. Rhyming is not important, in fact it is kind of cheesy. When you don't rhyme, it sounds more sincere. Really.
