The simple key to effortless success on February 14th
The truth about Valentine’s Day
Many years ago I set up an elaborate Valentine’s Day surprise for my new girlfriend, based on an incredible idea I stole from an episode of the classic TV game show “The Love Connection”.
One of the contestants on that show recounted to Chuck Woolery, the host, how he had invited a girl to his house for dinner and had enlisted his best friend to act as a waiter for the evening.
I thought, at the time, that this was a brilliant and unusual idea, and since I desperately wanted to impress my new girlfriend, I decided to copy it.
My best friend Alan came over to my house that night dressed up in a suit and tie, with slicked-back hair, and a painted-on mustache. I had designed and printed a sign for the door that said “Chez Keith”, and I also created menus that included several different options for appetizers, main courses, and even desserts.
When my girlfriend arrived at my house, she was shocked to see Alan greeting her in the character of a snooty waiter at an expensive French restaurant. He escorted her to our table in my basement, where I was waiting.
