It’s the time of year again, the day single people dread the most.
Jokes aside, we all want to make Valentine’s Day extra special for our families and significant others. Often, we go the extra mile: red ribbons all over the place, flowers and petals on the floor, and heart-shaped balloons covering the whole ceiling.
The day of hearts is an opportunity to make new and great memories with the people who matter most to you. It is when you give them gifts, take them to places, sing songs for them, or simply spend quality time with them.
Regardless of how you want to spend the day, what matters is that you do it from the heart. The thing is, you can somewhat picture what your day is going to be like after spending Valentine’s for many years now. But if you want a twist on your date by dodging the cliché, you can always do new things to wow your date.
Here’s a cheat sheet for you:
And do 24 different things.
It’s an exciting way to stir up the mood and get out of your comfort zone with her. Visit public spots, try new food, or take home souvenirs for your friends and family. And because it’s the day of love, be sure to take heaps of photos together to show the world how happy you are to have her.
It’s time to cancel your orders on flowers and pizza this year.
Grab some spices, flour, and cheese, and make your homemade pizza. Invite more fun by preparing it together! To make your night even more special, pick some flowers for her, enjoy a movie, and share a bottle of wine afterward.
We don’t mean online games on your smartphone or computers. Since you’re on your gadgets almost all the time, Valentine’s is a good excuse to get your hands off it for a while.
Especially when you’re an interracial couple who met each other online, being on your gadgets on V-day is the last thing you’d want to do. Open your closet and take those mind games and boards out, and enjoy a series of old-school games with her!
Who says you need a hundred bucks to make her happy on the 14th? No one.
All you need is a blanket and the clear night sky to have a romantic night together while stargazing. Talk about your dreams, your plans, or even make wishes. Reminisce about the good old times and share jokes.
Take some of your favorite treats and a jacket to keep yourselves warm.
From your favorite music streaming service, make a playlist for each other with your favorite hits that bring memories of your relationship. Put in new songs that you know she’ll love, and she’ll remember you every time it plays.
Nothing is more terrific than finally breaking the distance and seeing your partner in the flesh after a long time, and this is one of the things only interracial couples understand.
Sure, you can go on dates, cook together, and buy expensive holiday items for each other, but doing volunteer work feels rewarding and fulfilling. Not only does it encourage you to help other people, but it is also an opportunity for you to get to know each other deeper and see how she values the welfare of others as well.
Turn your alarm off before she wakes up and start V-day by putting a smile on her face with breakfast in bed. Prepare a meal for you to share and get lazy as you spend more time in bed conversing over breakfast.
If you want to make this moment more romantic, put a single-stemmed flower atop the tray and play your favorite tune in the background.
You don’t need to go far to have a good time together. By just staying at home with a blanket, good food, and a bottle of wine, don’t let bad weather and fully booked destinations stop your plans.
And if you’ve had plans to go to the movies, have a romantic movie marathon while on a picnic instead.
This might sound hard, but it’s certainly doable.
If you can’t visit the place where you went on your first date, you can always go somewhere that looks or feels similar. And if you can still remember what you wore that day, that’s even better.
After all, it’s always fascinating to go back to how you began and evaluate where you are in your relationship right now. This will help you assess your growth, changes, and improvements you have made, and plan for the things you’re yet to do.
Let that inner child in you come out!
Put a twist on your usual Valentine’s tricks and roll up your sleeves as you hit the arcade with your woman. It is a great way for you to unwind and temporarily forget everything. To make your date romantic, exchange the tickets you won for that giant stuffed toy she likes.
When you’re dating a foreign woman, there’s a high chance your conversations are exchanged online. Because you were brought together by the Internet, don’t you think it’s refreshing to write love letters on paper, once again?
It doesn’t matter if it’s short or only a few words written on it. At the end of the day, the letters you wrote will be a keepsake, and it will be something she’d treasure for a long time.
There are 365 days a year, and there’s only one day dedicated to Valentine’s. Regardless of how you’re going to spend it this year, it’s going to be special for her because it is your time spent together.
Good memories are hard to forget because they last forever. The more you put in effort for her happiness, the happier your heart will be as well. Remember that love is all about give-and-take.
With these new date ideas you can do on Valentine’s, we hope we’re of help to you.
