"If He's Not Shaving After The First Year, Neither Should You."

To single women, dating the same guy for a year means we begin to think about him as a life partner. We're free to express our hopes, dreams and fears without insecurity. We develop a bond that transcends space and time.

To a man, a yearlong relationship means he no longer has to change his underwear on a regular basis.

So as a public service, we offer you the "'Heat 'Em Up' After One Year Defense Guide"

In order to heat him up, you -- Dance naked on top of the TV.
In response, he -- Voices concern about the reception.

You -- Have a spree at Victoria's Secret.
He -- Dozes off before you get the teddy snapped.

You -- Plan a romantic picnic.
He -- Complains about the pollen count.

You -- Write him a seductive note.
He -- Uses the back of it to record mileage.

You -- Get a new haircut, lose five pounds, buy a new outfit.
He -- Says you look tired.

You -- Buy a billboard proclaiming your love for him.
He -- Discovers an alternate route to work.

You -- Ask him why he doesn't love you anymore.
He -- Looks baffled and dozes off.
