This achievement becomes avaliable during the Valentine's Day period for 6 days. So you have to hurry to complete it and get the title "The Love Fool" next to your name.
To attempt this achievement you need to have enough levels to enter Utgarde Keep, so I'll go with a minimum of 70 or 71. Of course the lesser the level, the less chance you will find a group that is aimed at farming Utgarde Keep for this achievement.
Basically to complete this achievement you have to complete the 12 seasonal achievements listed below;
* Heartmender
* Flirt With Disaster
* Nearest and Dearest
* Nation of Adoration
* Sweet Tooth
* My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose
* Shafted!
* Lonely?
* The Rocket's Pink Glare
* Fistful of Love
* Be Mine!
* I Pitied The Fool

So let's begin
BASICS
The first thing you need to do is to go to a major city. That is excluding Blood Elf and Draenei cities since they were added later to the game. Clean up some inventory space and from the innkeeper buy Cologne Bottle, Perfume Bottle and Love Tokens (20 at least, I would say).
If you put on cologne or perfume (by right clicking them in your bag), you will be able to see NPCs with heart symbols on their heads. If you put on cologne you can talk to female NPCs and give them tokens, if you put on perfume you can talk to male NPCs. Your gender has no effect.
When you give them love tokens, heart icon over their heads depop, just to repop about 1-2 minutes later. So it is kind of a race around the city with other players to talk to NPCs when icons pop on their heads. In return for tokens, 3 things might happen;
1) If you don't have the "Adored: You are recently adored" debuff you will get a Gift of Adoration: (Insert City Name). When you get the gift you will get the debuff for 1 hour and you can't get another Gift of Adoration during that time.
2) You might get "Heartbroken" debuff. If this happens you need to run to the most crowded part of the city and yell or say that you are heartbroken. Another player is likely to cure you. You can't give NPCs love tokens when you have this debuff.
3) If you have the "Adored" debuff the NPCs can give you a small gift instead. There are 3 kinds of gifts; The Pledge of Loyalties, The Guard Cards and a Specific Item. They change for each city. For example for Undercity you will have;
- The Pledge of Royalty: Undercity
- Guardian's Moldy Card
- Romantic Poem
Basically the guards will give you either the pledges or the cards, while other vendors and trainers will give you the specific item.
Collect 5 of each in every city and combine them. Than combine the 3 outcome items to create a (City Name) Gift Collection. Do this in every city to get each one's gift collection and combine all 3 to make Horde or Alliance Gift Collection. Now you can hand this in to Kwee Q. Peddlefeet who waits near each city's leader. In return you can get, Silver Shafted Arrows, Handful of Rose Petals or Love Rockets. See below for their use.
What a handsome chap. Not.
COMPLETE GUIDE
Heartmender: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain an Unbestowed Friendship Bracelet. Target a player with the "Heartbroken" debuff and use this item. You need to do this 20 times to complete this achievement. When you do, the item will disappear from your inventory and a crap item will appear in other player's inventory that he can safely destroy. The bracelets are bind on pickup.
Flirt with Disaster: This is the funniest achievement for me so far. When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Handful of Rose Petals. If you are horde find Jeremiah Payson in Undercity (the undead snake vendor, he is just below the bank). If you are alliance find Snaaz in Ironforge (the gnome pie vendor, he is walking around the city). You need to bring alcohol, perfume and 1 x Handful of Rose Petals with you. Use perfume, drink alcohol until you become "smashed" and than use petals on Snaaz/Payson and than /kiss him. You will regret it in the morning.
Nearest and Dearest: You need to finish a quest line, formed of 6 quests. The first 5 steps differ for alliance and horde, but the final step is the same. I'll explain this in another guide. [Link to be given.]
Nation of Adoration: Simply recieve a Gift of Adoration from each 3 major cities. Go to one of the cities, get the gift, wait for one hour for debuff to wear off, go to another city, rinse and repeat.
Sweet Tooth: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Bag of Chocolates. Unless you are extremely unlucky, the 4 types of candy that is required for eating will be in it. (Buttermilk Delight, Sweet Surprise, Dark Delight and Very Berry Cream.) If somehow one is missing, you need to wait for another bag.
My Love is Like A Red, Red Rose: For this quest you need to loot a Bouquet of Ebon Roses or a Bouquest of Red Roses. As of 2009 these bosses have 100% chance to drop one in normal or heroic modes;
- Prince Keleseth in Utgarde Keep
- Maiden of Grief in Halls of Stone
- Prince Taldaram in Ahn'kahet The Old Kingdom
The easiest way to do this would be to gather 3 or more level 80s (assuming that you are one) and farm Prince Keleseth in Utgarde Keep. Since he is the first boss, he is very close to zone. But keep in mind he drops one bouquet each time, so you will have to get out, reset the dungeon for each member in your group.
Shafted!: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain Silver Shafted Arrows. Basically you need to shoot 10 players with them. This gives them a goblin cupid pet. You can only shoot the players who don't have the pets.
Lonely?: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain Romantic Picnic. When you use it, it sets up a picnic table on the ground which others can click and join in. Luckily you don't actually need the item to complete this achievement, all you have to do is to find a picnic table at Dalaran and click it.
The Rocket's Pink Glare: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain Love Rockets. You need to gather 10 and then shoot them all under 30 secs. Easiest way is to drag and drop them into your action bar and spam. Make sure you have 10 before you begin!
Fistful of Love: A very annoying achievement. When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Handful of Rose Petals. You need to gather 10 and use them on race/class combinations below;
- Gnome Warlock
- Night Elf Priest
- Tauren Druid
- Undead Warrior
- Draenei Paladin
- Human Death Knight
- Orc Shaman
- Troll Rogue
- Blood Elf Mage
- Dwarf Hunter
Depending on your server some combinations may be a pain in the ass. Dalaran is a good place to start. If you can't find a combination there, I advise you to try Alterac Valley.
Be Mine!: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Bag of Candies. This item has 10 charges. Each time you click it, it creates a heart with certain message. You need to create 8 of them;
- Be Mine!
- All yours.
- Hot lips.
- You're the best!
- I'll follow you all around Azeroth.
- I'm all yours!
- You're Mine!
- I LOVE YOU!
Statistically one bag could do it, but I am guessing two bags is a better bet.
I Pitied the Fool: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Love Fool. This is an item that puts a practice target on the ground with the visual of Valentine's Day. You need to create it in 5 places and target it and /pity it.
- Wintergrasp: Go to any place in Wintergrasp but be out of reach from creature aggro as they will attack the Love Fool and destroy it before you can /pity.
- Arathi Basin Blacksmith: Easy to do. Do it when it is relatively empty. Other faction's players can attack it to piss you off.
- Naxxaramas: Fly up to Naxxaramas, invite a friend, change the group into a raid, enter any instance, summon, /pity. Doesn't work outside of instance!
- Battle Ring of Gurubashi Arena: Go when it is empty.
- The Culling of Stratholme: This is the instance in Caverns of Time. You can enter alone and do this with no problem.
And so...
