Now that you’ve got a date for V-day, everything should be easy now, right? Well, not always. Luckily we’re here to help you out to prevent any boring or (hopefully not) disastrous dates on this special day.

1. Look to the Stars

Lay beneath the stars away from the city with some music and liquors to help with the ambiance. Alternatively, the local observatory or planetarium could show you the stars without the hassle of clouds.

2. Play MasterChef at Home

Suit up with your aprons for this one as it’s going to get hot in the kitchen. A cook-off with your date can be the best date at home.

3. Go Back in Time

Unless it was a disaster, opt to relieve the first time you were in awe at her. This is a surefire way to tug both of your heartstrings from the moment you met.

4. Try a New Cuisine

Is ‘I don’t know’ her favorite restaurant? Try to picking a new cuisine to explore more than just ‘I don’t know’. It’ll be fun digging into a different taste and you both could have a new favorite.

5. Sing Your Heart Out

Karaoke isn’t only for the drunk crying singles on V-day. It can also be a fun date with liquors on the side.
