Valentines Day Date Tips: Single, Dating, Committed or Married
Pure romance is in the air this winter. As we’re greeted by the dawn of 2010, it’s easy to wonder what will happen this Valentine’s Day. Instead of wondering, let’s make the best of the night whether we’re spending it with friends, a sweetheart or a good book.
Cupid is taking aim this winter and is ready to make this romantic season memorable. Wedding And Party Network is going to help him out (and you as well) with these fun tips for an enjoyable Valentine’s Day.
First, decide who will be your company for the evening. For couples, this is an easy one. If you’re part of a one-man show, don’t feel left out! Valentine’s Day isn’t just about celebrating a relationship, it’s about celebrating love. Here are some suggestions for the evening, whatever your relationship status:
Single: Host a singles-only mixer; find a V-day party near you (or throw one); Host a “Singles Awareness Day (SAD)” party for your girl or guy friends. (Guys Only/Girls Only is a great excuse for some down time with your friends)
Casually Dating: This is the time to play up the clichés. Want to move to the next level this day? Personalize your dinner-and-a-movie date with something that your date will find special. Pick a movie she’d like to see or mentioned briefly when she thought you weren’t listening. Surprise her with an after dinner snack that happens to be her favorite treat. Be creative or keep it simple. This night will dictate to you both how you feel the relationship should proceed.
Committed: If you’re committed and have been for some time, Valentine’s Day can be scary. It’s not. Be creative! Talk with her friends and family for ideas. Think back to little things she’s mentioned and find a way to surprise her with a treat that includes her favorite vacation spot, restaurant, type of candy, movie, song, activity, etc. The notion of “out of your way to show me you love me” is what tops it off—not just the candy.
Married: Oh boy. Marriage is the most fun and possibly daunting time to spend Valentine’s Day with the person you love. If it’s a new marriage, being creative is simple. You’re still fresh with ideas. After a few years, the creative ideas stop coming. In this case, ask your husband/wife what he/she would like to do and make it happen.
Most importantly married folks, find a way to show her that the romance is still alive in your relationship. Include a sweet note on the card. Have your dog deliver a piece of jewelry via his collar. Put on her favorite cologne and the jeans she loves you in. Valentines Day is a great excuse to spend quality time with your lover. You can bank on that he or she is thinking the same thing.
