Audrey Hepburn�s characters romanticized it.
Shakespeare�s sonnets immortalized it. Margaret Mitchell wrote about it.
Frank Sinatra crooned many a song about it. At the very core of the human
existence lies the ever-poignant, oftentimes confusing, emotion that we call
love.
It is found around every corner, on every street � in the
gentle touch of the couple holding hands on a bench, in the nervous chatter
between a young girl and boy, in the way a normally stern-looking
countenance can become a glow at the mere sight of a newfound love, and in
the way the couple walking in front of you laugh and giggle with each other,
clinging arm in arm.
This irrepressible emotion is never more apparent than on
February 14th. Valentine�s Day is synonymous with love, with sinfully
delectable chocolates, with rose bouquets, with romantic candlelight
dinners. It�s the perfect time to show your loved one just how much he or
she means to you. Perhaps you never considered turning to your computer for
advice on romantic gestures, but ideas to strengthen or develop your love
can be found with just a few clicks of the mouse. Following are some
interesting Web sites devoted to love, dating, and romance.

As Barbara De Angelis once said, �Love is a force more formidable than any
other. It is invisible � it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful
enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any
material possession could.� And Valentine�s Day is the perfect time to
commemorate that special bond between you and the one you love.
