From a women's perspective here, I would say just invite her over for a quiet dinner at home with the two of you. If you take her out, she will no doubt see lots of "couples" doing the Valentine's Day thing and it might make her sad, it would me.
Don't make a big deal about it being Valentine's Day, as she would probably rather not think about it. Just invite her over so she won't be sitting at home alone. Just my humble opinion. HTH.

Yea--rgG-is on the right track-the old DM posts regarding "Hookers and Booze" seems hardly appropriate in this case. One of the few times it didn't apply to a post

Depending on your knowledge of the lady, you could send her a dozen roses with a nice note about what her friendship means to you both.
I did this last year with my GF's daughter who was sans boyfriend on Valentine's Day. She loves flowers and wasn't going to be getting them, which would have made her a bit more down in the dumps.
Glad to report she met a nice guy a month or so after so they're not needed this year from me. (Maybe I'll send them anyway.)

I agree with the advice given so far about not making Valentine's Day a big deal. Why not try to give her something to look forward to instead. Like inviting her out to dinner on Wed. the day after Valentine's Day.
Depending on the circumstances, she may be very glad to be alone on Valentine's Day. For me, it's just another excuse to have chocolate. Especially when you can buy it the next day at 1/2 price

If you do the dinner bit, you could still invite Paul F. . . or me . . . or both of us . . .

right on, davester.
My view: why should you need a specific day/excuse to make your sweetie feel loved and appreciated? Couldn't that be any day?

Hallmark hooey or no, it's still fun to make your favorite girl feel eXXXtree special.
One can make their special other feel special all year 'round (no not really) but by that reasoning, why celebrate birthdays, Christmas, etc, let alone Moms' and Dads' days.
Heck, let's abolish holidays altogether, afterall, there just a way to weasel money out of us by the card and gift companies, and us lazy no-accounts to get out of work.
In fact, let's have a roulette wheel, and give it a spin. On *that* one day a year, we *don't* have to make anybody feel extra special, because we already do that each and every day.
But to answer the original question, Paul F's phone number (too funny!), a quiet dinner at his place, and tequila shooters, and K-Y warming "massage" lotion, and Twister.
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive
An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.
You make me pull, I'll put you down.
I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I don't know blooz... I have a rather expensive Mac habit and will need a new car sometime in the next year.
The flowers and candy would probably be cheaper.
