Do you want to evoke sensuous love in the heart of your beloved? Throw away your digital gadgets and gizmos. Text messaging, or email based romantic letters, cannot have the same effect as handwritten romantic prose. This Valentine's Day, go back to old-fashioned romance, where love meant more than online dating.

Pick up handmade paper, preferably scented paper. Write an ode of love, or a romantic quote that expresses your feelings in beautiful words. Write about your fond memories of your sweetheart, your deepest desires and your darkest fears.

Request your lover to respond in person, not by phone or email. After you have written your romantic letter, hand-deliver it. As the years roll by, you will cherish these beautiful memories of courtship.

Here are some more romantic quotes that you will enjoy:

You can't help thinking about her all day long. You are tongue-tied in her presence. Yet you are excited and eager to be with her. Is this love? Or is this infatuation?

Many teens go through the dilemma of love. Love takes a while to grow, while infatuation is almost instantaneous. When you love someone deeply, you accept her with her strengths and flaws. To sum it up in the words of Ann Landers, "Infatuation is instant desire - one set of glands calling to another. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time."

On Valentine's Day, honor your love with cute love quotes. These top 10 cute love quotes will put a smile on your face. Teenagers will like this collection of love quotes for teens. Enjoy the warmth of love after reading quotes about falling in love.

This Valentine's Day, win over your sweetheart with sugarcoated sweet love quotes. Make your day memorable with cute li'l love quotes. Here are some more quotes on love:

4. How to Say, "Be My Valentine" to Your Sweetheart
Date/Time : 2/10/2012 3:16:36 PM

Can't afford to woo your sweetheart with diamonds or dream holidays? No problem.

Valentine's Day is not about how deep your pocket is. Let us not get carried away by the tantalizing commercials that promise us a place in love-heaven. If your sweetheart truly loves you, she would not put out a price tag on love. She would, however, be impressed if you made the effort of serenading her with love quotes and poetry.

Be creative and come up with new ways to woo your lover. A tender kiss, a love song played on the guitar, or a sweet love quote that oozes passion will sweep her off her feet. Surprise her with little tokens of love. Nothing expensive, just highly imaginative. Perhaps you can take her to a secluded beach cove and whisper sweet nothings? If she is working, you could send her a bunch of roses to her workplace, with great love quotes on each rose.

I could give you many more creative and inexpensive ideas, but I think you get the point. Your dearest will always remember these beautiful romantic gestures. These, and many other such gestures of love will cement your relationship forever.

Get inspired to give and receive love. If you are single, enjoy Valentine's Day with your near and dear ones. Meet up with your friends and celebrate Valentine's Day with Valentine's Day quotes for friends.

On Valentine's Day, enjoy a large collection of cool love quotes:

5. Love Knows No Bounds
Date/Time : 2/2/2012 2:47:54 AM
Direct link : http://quotations.about.com/b/2012/02/02/love-knows-no-bounds.htm
 

Love does not discriminate. Love cuts across all boundaries. Love overcomes differences of caste, creed, race, and gender. Love permeates through all sections of society.

Recently, news media was agog with the news of a Thai man who married his girlfriend of ten years. Nothing surprising about that? Well, the interesting part is that the 'girlfriend' was dead at the time of the marriage. His beloved had died of a car accident just before the couple could tie the knot. You could call this act a bizarre publicity stunt, or a gesture of love that knows no bounds.

You hear stories of the poor marrying the rich, the old marrying the young. These love stories may seem bizarre to outsiders. But true love is blind to another person's views.

Celebrate the multiple dimensions of love. On Valentine's Day, make your love story an affair to remember.

Here are more Valentine's Day quotes:

6. "At the Touch of Love, Everyone Becomes a Poet."
Date/Time : 1/31/2012 4:23:07 AM
Direct link : http://quotations.about.com/b/2012/01/31/at-the-touch-of-love-everyone-becomes-a-poet-2.htm
 

This wise quote from Plato says it all.

Valentine's Day brings out the Cupid and Shakespeare within you. Even if you have never penned a poem, love teaches you to express your thoughts in rhythm and verse.

Think nothing about serenading your ladylove with love songs or poems. Do a quick cha-cha-cha, and fall on one knee, with an arm outstretched for your lover. Woo her with a bouquet of flowers or a single rose, depending on your style.

Make sure to plan a romantic evening with your sweetheart on Valentine's Day. Even if you are miles away from each other, you can still have a romantic date on the Internet, or the telephone. Send love letters to your long distance lover every day until Valentine's Day. If you can surprise her with an unscheduled visit, nothing like it.

Love stories are created by the creativity of lovers. Be creative and your love story will be a legend that will be immortalized.

Also read these Valentine's Day quotes:

7. That Thing Called Love
Date/Time : 1/30/2012 10:08:03 AM
Direct link : http://quotations.about.com/b/2012/01/30/that-thing-called-love.htm
 

It is not hard to understand why some people hate Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, like every other major holiday, has become a consumerist's haven for self-indulgence. Opulence, extravagance, and frivolity are mistaken for expressive love. People fail to recognize true love in the din of 'love-marketing,' which becomes an essential part of Valentine's Day culture.

What happened to old-fashioned love? What happened to lovers who serenaded their sweetheart with poetry or love letters? What happened to lovers who were content with little gifts like flowers and chocolates?

If you feel that Valentine's Day is a sham created by marketers, you are probably not far from the truth. These Anti-Valentine's Day quotes express your sentiment. Share a laugh with your friends with these Valentine's Day quotes, funny enough to guarantee you a stress-free Valentine's Day.

Don't have a lover? No problem. Enjoy a day out with your friends. These Valentine's Day quotes for friends will keep you in the celebratory mood. Have a great Valentine's Day, with or without a lover.

8. Tips to Improve Your Romantic Life
Date/Time : 1/27/2012 5:09:31 PM
Direct link : http://quotations.about.com/b/2012/01/27/tips-to-improve-your-romantic-life.htm
 

Often, romance takes a backseat. Complacence and sluggishness cast a grey cloud over your love life. When couples decide to tie the knot or make babies, romance becomes a chore, if not a headache. Does this sound familiar?

A relationship without fantasy and fun is a dead horse. However much you flog it, it will remain limp. Before you know it, the two of you would be sitting with a marriage counselor, or a divorce lawyer.

Think of love as a living breathing entity. You need to feed it, care for it, and nurture it. Romance is the best vitamin for an ailing relationship. Add zest to your marriage with a dash of romance.

Flirt with your partner as if she were an illicit romance. Surprise her with tokens of love. It could be an expensive diamond, or a cozy evening at your favorite restaurant.

If your boyfriend likes to watch football, snuggle up with him next to the television. Better yet, play a game of football where the winner takes all.

Here are some romantic quotes that you can coo into your heartthrob's ears. Watch her blush with happiness, as you read her these powerful love quotes.

9. Love Tidbits: Are You Compatible With Your Partner?
Date/Time : 1/27/2012 5:04:03 PM
Direct link : http://quotations.about.com/b/2012/01/27/love-tidbits-are-you-compatible-with-your-partner.htm
 

Your sweetheart expects you to be the knight in shining armor, or a damsel in distress, and you are unable to fit the bill. Your girlfriend wants you to hold her hand under a moonlit sky and stare into her eyes, but you simply can't peel your eyes away from your iPad. Your boyfriend wants you to accompany him to a discotheque, but you'd rather be at a quiet place with him, holding hands.

What does this mean? Are you two incompatible? Has love gone out of the window?

Love is a deep emotion, and trifling problems cannot hamper it. You cannot be compatible on all parameter, or you would have been identical twins! As long as you are compatible on major issues such as honesty, sex, money, future, family, and religion, your relationship will work.

To keep your relationship growing, do not become complacent. Work on your weaknesses and mold yourself to accommodate your partner's preferences. There has to be a healthy balance of give and take, for your relationship to grow.

Set a romantic mood with love quotes for her. Pamper her with roses and shower her with odes of love. Help your boyfriend get romantic with love quotes for him. If he has forgotten how to romance you, you could egg him on.
