If you're like many online lovers, Valentine's Day can be a very difficult holiday to overcome. This year, make sure you make the most of this precious, romantic holiday by following a few of these tips and ideas.

1. Have A Virtual Wedding.
   Set up a private chat on a free web hosting site, like Geocities, Theglobe.com, Tripod, etc. Have a friend be your minister. Invite a few friends by sending out virtual card invitations, and then share the not legal, but very sentimental way to express your feelings!
   
    
2. Create An online Web Dedication.
   People love to see their name in lights. Give your lover a permanent glorification by creating a web page dedication. It's easy and fun!
   
    
3. Poetry Gallery
   Who can think of Valentine's Day without also thinking about love poetry? Hunt down about 10 poems that you feel describe your sweetheart or your relationship. Then give the poems to your love in the order you want them to be read.
   
    
4. Gift Certificates
   If you're not sure what your partner would like, or don't have their mailing address yet, send them a gift certificate!
   
    
5. Private Chat
   The closest thing to an intimate night alone together is a private chat. Either create a chat room from one of the multiple free hosting companies, like Geocities, Xoom or Tripod, or find a site that offers private chat options.
   
    
6. Virtual Dinner
   Send your love a virtual dinner package. Include all the items & directions they'll need to make a romantic dinner. (If you can't do this, send them an ingredients list & directions.) Then, either splurge for the phone call and make dinner and eat it while chatting on the phone, or meet online to eat together in the atmosphere of candlelight!
   
    
7. Phone Call
   Some of my fondest memories with my husband while we were in an online relationship where when we happened to stay up the entire night on the phone together.
    
8. Virtual Gifts
   Every hour, send your love a virtual gift. Many e-card sites offer cards of virtual gifts to send. With each gift write a note explaining why you choose the gift. If possible, make the last card an invitation to meet you in a private chat or on the phone.
