10 Romantic Valentines Day Ideas
Men and women each have different ideas as to what is romantic on Valentines Day. While most of the advertising for Valentines commercialism is focused on what the women thinks is romantic, this isn’t exactly fair to the men. So to be fair to both genders here are ten wonderfully romantic things to do for your significant other in no particular order.
- Number One
Give your significant other a fragrant jar candle everyday for the week leading up to Valentines Day. Write on a piece of paper one thing that you love about them and tape it to the lid of the jar. When Valentines Day arrives, invite them over for a home cooked dinner. Decorate and light unscented candles all over the kitchen and turn out the lights when it is time to eat.
Tell them that the candles that you gave them in the week preceding Valentines Day are the things that you love about them right now and that all of the lit candles in the kitchen represent all of the things that you have not found out about them yet that you are going to love. Of course alter this to your relationship; you can even say that all of the candles lit right now represent all of the other things that you love about them.
- Number Two
Take your guy to see his favorite team on Valentines night instead of opting for the crowded restaurant. If his favorite team isn’t playing find out what other sporting events he may be interested in that are going to be that night. As an added bonus buy yourself an oversized jersey or shirt at the game and whisper in his ear during the game that the jersey is all that you will be wearing to bed that night.
- umber Three
Secretly learn how to make homemade candies or chocolates. Local colleges or community centers will sometimes offer candy or chocolate making as a non-credit course for the community to take. When the day comes present your significant other with a custom made box, with a picture of the two of you and a personalized sentiment on the front, filled with your homemade goodies.
- Number Four
If your partner is an avid outdoors man it may be time for you to learn how to fish. Book a romantic fishing get-away for the two of you and don’t forget to pack the gear. If you live in a climate that is warm in February then this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. However, if the only fishing that your area sees this time of year is ice fishing show your man how much you love him and go buy yourself some really warm outdoor clothing so that you won’t freeze out there on the lake.
- Number Five
If you are lucky enough to live near a large lake that does not freeze over in the winter or near the warmer parts of the ocean, do a little research to see if there are dinner cruises available on Valentine’s Day. A dinner cruise is romantic to begin with, but one on Valentine’s Day will earn you major romantic points. If you make it a surprise it will be even better.
- Number Six
If you are nostalgic and remember the location, go back to the place of your first kiss. But, don’t assume that your significant other will understand the meaning of what you are doing. Take them in your arms and look into their eyes and tell them that this is where you first kissed and then kiss them there.
Never ask if they recognize where you are just tell them. Because if they don’t remember it will just be an embarrassing moment for them and is setting you up to be hurt and upset that you remembered and they didn’t.
- Number Seven
Even if you and your partner are not skiers, go spend a weekend at a ski lodge. It will get you to a location away from the everyday life where you can just concentrate on spending time with each other. The two of you can go snow shoeing, ride sleds down the sledding hill or just sit by the warm fire sipping drinks and talking.
The atmosphere is what you are going for, the beautiful snow covered mountain and trees and if you are lucky it will snow. There are not many other things more romantic then softly falling snow. Of course with all of this romantic atmosphere you may never even leave your cabin.
- Number Eight
A kiss can sometimes say more to a person then all the words in the world. If you have been with your significant other for a period of time you probably have quite a collection of pictures of the two of you. As a romantic Valentine’s gift go out and buy a decorative photo album and place all of the pictures you have of the two of you kissing. No other photos are to go in this album except the kissing ones. If you continue to be together you can even add more kissing photos as you get them.
- Number Nine
If you are both kids at heart, make a trip to your local theme park. Love is sure to be in the air and what is more romantic then making it your goal to kiss each other on every single ride in the park.
- Number Ten
Pick up your loved one from work in a limousine to take you two to dinner. Make sure that they meet you out front, but don’t tell them what is going on or why they have to meet you there instead of at home. Also make sure that you are the center of attention so that all of your loves co-workers can see them ride away in the back of a limo.
