Put me in coach, get me ready for Valentine's Day

Television talk shows have recently taught me that men are willing to boldly go where they never gone before.

In these days of televised marriage proposals and outlandish expressions of love, more and more men are willing to seek the help of a relationship coach to move beyond the typical flowers and candy. And if they are sticking with that tradition (because obviously, it's not a bad one), they want to learn how to make it more special.

On the one hand, I think it's great that some guys realize they need help and seek it. On the other hand, a part of me wonders if this leads to less creativity and originality on a guy's part. For me, one of the best parts of a relationship is when a guy digs to learn enough about you to make any romantic occasion special. Even if the results aren't perfect, you know it's sincere. With a romance coach, you have to wonder if your guy is following the same exact advice as hundreds of other men on the coach's client list.

For guys, would you consider consulting a relationship coach for Valentine's Day or any other major romantic event? For gals, does it matter to you if a guy seeks this type of assistance on Valentine's Day?

so what, you mean like a real life hitch (will smith movie)? i guess it does take the sincerity out of it, but some guys honestly do need the help. its really no different then taking advice from their friends. although the advice is probably a whole lot better and its costs an arm & a leg
