Images of cupid and heart figures are all over the streets. The supply of red roses has doubled in the past few few days. Chocolates and teddy bears are slowly running out of stock. Both fancy and regular restaurant reservations are filled to the brim. Radio stations have been continuously playing love songs. It is all over the news and it has been the talk of the town. Clearly, everyone has been infected by the love bug except you.
Then it suddenly occurred to you that in just a few days, the world will celebrate Valentine's day. Now, that is what the fuss is all about. It is that holiday again. As you begin to get enlightened, out of nowhere, you felt a struck of horror. You realised that you have lost track of time and you forgot to make plans during that special day. Well, there is no need for you to panic. Even though the clock is ticking, you can certainly come up with something romantic for your lady lover. How? Here are some ideas that you might like:
ROAD TRIPGrab your map (or set up your GPS), fill your tank, put on your favourite football shirt, pick up your girlfriend and step on the gas! You need not to have a specific destination to go to in this case. Travelling to anywhere in a whim is exciting and yes, romantic. Perhaps you can head over to the nearest beach or you might want to take her to an overlooking place with the most breathtaking view. It is all up to you. Even though surprises are great, it is best that you inform her about the plans but no need to elaborate on the whole itinerary. To make the whole thing more memorable, you can make a mixtape that contains all her favourite songs and you can play it while you are driving.
PICNICAdmit it. You find dinner at some fancy restaurant too overrated, right? Well, you can still enjoy an intimate moment with the girl of your dreams while indulging in lovely culinary delights simply by taking her to the park. You can cook her favourite dishes and pack it together with some soda or wine. Of course, do not forget to bring some of those cute plastic utensils. If you want to have it during the night, you can light some candles to set up the mood and even install some of those firefly lights and some lanterns somewhere. You get the same romantic experience without the hefty price tag. Plus, you would not have to squeeze yourselves in in such a jam packed place. This is ideal if the two of you are a laid-back couple who enjoys being with nature while wearing a comfortable football shirt.
MOVIE MARATHONHead out to the grocery store and buy loads of chips, some soda, pop corn, and candies and chocolates because you will be needing a lot of food that you can munch on in this kind of date. To avoid all the hassle that the outside lovestruck world may bring, you can just celebrate Valentine's day in the comfort of your own home with a few films that you can delight your senses upon. Just add a little bit of effort though. You can re-arrange your whole place so as to look like a private cinema. You can even have a certain company design your card that will look like a movie ticket! Or if you know your ways around video editing, you can even make your own film that features your love story. Without a doubt, this date will be remembered for the rest of her existence.
You need not to be fancy and you do not have to be so extravagant about your date. What you need to do is to plan out something that will be remembered for the rest of your life. Of course, you should not only do all those sweet things and go extra miles just for this one special day. Make it a point that you do something out of the ordinary everyday.
