  1. The classic picnic in a park.
  2. Movies (always a cute thing)
  3. Her favorite Italian restaurant
  4. Or French restaurant (whatever restaurant she/he prefers, if you don't know, then that rules out this idea.)
  5. Serenade him/her (if you like to sing)
  6. Cook a romantic meal
  7. Arcade day?
  8. Can't go wrong with flowers and chocolate, this might just be the most classic romantic idea. (Make it white chocolate if you want a bit of originality there.)
  9. Horseback riding. (This is a fun and cute idea for a date)
  10. Treat her to a spa day, where either A. You do the work. or B. Get her a gift card to a spa.
  11. Hiking (bring a camera!)
  12. If you live near the shore and it's warm, go for a walk. If it's not warm? BONUS! Give her your jacket to wear for the date.
  13. If you live in the city, go to the local park and find a water fountain. Take a bunch of pennies and make wishes one at a time out loud while throwing them in.
  14. Get up and watch the sunrise. Stay for the sunset too. It'll feel closely intimate when you realize you spent the whole day with each other.
  15. Find a good desert recipe online. Go shopping for ingredients together or have them ready if you want it to be a planned date. Bake together!

16. Sit on a trampoline with a blanket and watch the stars for a while. (Some would call this a romantic idea.)

17. Buy a few roses. Place them in places you know she visits throughout the day.

18. Try homemade ice cream! Come up with your own fun toppings, you'll learn a lot from this about each other. (i.e- Who knew she liked caramel and lemon??

19. Sharpies 'n White Tees. Write a poem on the back of her shirt. Or a picture...or song lyrics...anything romantic! Fun idea for a date!

20. If it's too cold, make a picnic inside with hot chocolate.

21. Buy her a huge teddy bear. This might not be a very practical gift, but it sure is cute and very sweet! Spray it with your cologne and write a cute "I Love You" card, that the bear can hold for you!

22. Send an e-card for Valentine's Day! It's a simple and thoughtful idea that you can do a few hours before your actual date!

The History of Valentine's Day

The history of Valentine's Day (V-Day) is really covered in mystery. But how did this romantic holiday come about? There are 3 ideas that are commonly accepted when discussing the history of St. Valentine's Day (which is the correct term for the famous holiday).

The first legend, (and the most commonly accepted) claims that St. Valentine was a priest during the third century in Rome. Emperor Claudius II believed that single men were better fighters than married men and those with families, so he outlawed marriage for young men in order to make them better soldiers. The priest, Valentine, disagreed with Claudius and continued to marry young couples. When he was discovered Claudius was infuriated and ordered that Valentine be put to death.

Another theory exists that on February 14th, a holiday to honor the Queen Juno of the Roman Goddesses, was created. Juno was the Goddess of women and marriage to the Romans. Juno was the Queen of the Roman. The next day, a the festival of Lupercalia started and the tradition was that the names of Roman women were written on a piece of paper and placed into a vase. Each man would choose a name and that woman was the man's partner for the duration of the festival.

Nothing is known about the third Christian, St. Valentine, except that he died somewhere in or near Africa

I know plenty of girls & women who would love a Valentine's Day at the arcade, including myself. Good thing I wouldn't date a downer who would hate a day of having fun. I think the best tip for a great Valentine's Day is to ask your special someone what they want to do!

Enjoyed my read! I'll adapt #17- Go to church, offer mass for my beloved(The Boy I'd Loved Before), buy a big red rose, lay it on his tombstone, go home and read his memoirs I wrote here at HP! Isn't that romantic,LondonLady? Thanks!
