Valentines Day is one of the most romantic days of the year. It’s a special occasion to completely dote on and love your significant other or to start a fresh relationship. It’s a day of love and romance. It’s also a day that can include a ton of pressure. Whether you’re in a new relationship, going on a first date, or keeping the romance alive after years of marriage, you want to do Valentine’s Day right.
With so many movies and TV shows that focus on the importance of the day, it can be overwhelming to figure out just how to make your special someone feel special. You could go simple with the typical flowers and chocolates or go really over the top with an extravagant getaway. Truly, the possibilities are endless. But if you really want to impress your Valentine’s Day date, make it special to that individual. At the end of the day, people look for love because they want to be seen and understood by someone special. Show them that and you will have conquered the day. Here are just a few simple tips and other ways to knock your date’s socks off on Valentine’s Day.
Do all the cliches
While some may complain that Valentine’s Day is an overly commercialized holiday that was invented for Hallmark to sell cards and candy companies to sell chocolate, these cliches are cliches for a reason. Embrace the day and do the cliches. Getting a little teddy bear or a heart-shaped box of chocolates is such a small gesture to show your love and appreciation for your date. And hey, who doesn’t love flowers? You don’t even have to be with your significant other to give them a beautiful bouquet. After all, delivering flowers for valentines day is a time-honoured tradition. Bring beauty to their office, at home, or wherever they may be. A special bouquet that is planned perfectly for them will be sure to impress.
Look your best
Valentine’s Day is a big night for going out to eat for a nice dinner. You want to be sure you look your best for whatever you’re doing. This doesn’t necessarily mean a suit and tie, however. You can still look your best and stick to your style. Plus, you want to stay comfortable and lightweight in case you get nervous and god-forbid sweaty. A breathable bamboo shirt may be the best option for you to look your best and feel your best. When you feel confident about your appearance, that will be evident to the person sitting across the table from you.
Be creative with your plans
While dinner is a great option for Valentine‘s Day plans, it also may be fun to change it up a bit. You can really impress your date but coming up with something fun and creative for the two of you to do together. Have a real experience rather than just a fancy meal. Maybe you want to try a couples cooking class or a wine and paint night. Maybe you’re an adventurous couple and you want to go camping for the evening. Or maybe you can create the perfect, romantic night in situation. Whatever you choose, it can be special and impressive to create an experience that is personalized to you.
Invest in them
Overall, Valentine’s Day is about love and relationships. One way to make the day really special is to fully invest in your partner. Plan a night they will love that is special to them. Show that you are interested in and care about who they are. Look them in the eyes and ask important questions. Whether you’re on a first date or your 500th, showing the person you are fully invested in them will be the most impressive thing.
