Plan the perfect date

Every couple has their own personality, so why not do something that fits you and expresses your love, rather than conforming to some cookie-cutter ideal?
Plus, this way you can use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to cross some items off your “couple bucket list”.
Here’s a list of some non-boring Valentine’s Day date ideas you should try if you’re looking for something new.
* Book a hot reservation…at home. While cooking together might be something you do every day, there’s no reason it can’t be special. The twist is to devise a unique menu that you’ll make together every year on Valentine’s Day. Start the tradition now and you’ll never have to worry about making last-minute plans in the future.
* Watch the sunrise. Sure you’ve seen the sunset together, but have you seen how spectacular a sunrise is in the summer? You’ll have to wake up early and bundle up, but it’s so worth it. Besides, you can always crawl back into bed and cuddle afterward.
* Channel your inner poet. Light some candles, pour a couple glasses of wine, and whip out those poetry books. Reading powerful verses together may open up the doors of communication and lead to an intense connection
* Re-enact your first date. There’s a good chance that the beginning of your relationship was the time when you made the most effort to show her your romantic side and used your best ideas for things to do. So why not turn back the clock and remind her how charming you were when you were wooing her? Women love it when men remember details from when they were still getting to know each other. Think back to your first date, and take her to the same place, eat the same food and do the same things that first sparked your romance.
* Dress up. Pull out all the stops and dress up in your finest. No matter what your plans are, whether you’ve got reservations at a posh restaurant or you’re eating a meal together at home, dressing up and good grooming will make the occasion feel extra special. Most women love having the chance to get all dolled up, and you can both enjoy looking your best while spending time together.
* Pop the question. If you’ve been thinking about asking her to marry you, there’s no time like Valentine’s Day for a romantic proposal. After all, the day is meant for lovers, and getting down on one knee with a ring is one of the best ways you can profess your love for her. It may not only be the best thing you can do on Valentine’s Day, it can be the best thing you do, ever.
