If you don’t know what to do on Valentine’s Day, but you do know, you don’t want to give the love of your life the same old chocolates and flowers that everyone else is getting, then you'll need to mix it up a bit and have some originality, here are some tips that will help get you in the right direction.
Reenact your first date
One of the most romantic things you can do is get nostalgic with your girlfriend or wife. Women go gaga for guys who remember the details of the past, such as the restaurant you went to on your first date, what you ate and did afterward. It will be like celebrating your anniversary and you can combine gifts with cards that mention how happy you are that you met her.
Partake in a physical activity
No not that kind of physical activity; I mean something that will get your heartbeat going, like ice skating or going for a hike in the woods and bringing wine to drink on the way. Such activities are perfect to boost an old and predictable relationship, and nothing will kick start a new relationship better than such a thrill ride. If you take her out take her to a pottery and painting shop where you can actually talk, be creative and share your thoughts. If you want to invite her over, make sure you cook something together so you’re both engaged in the activity.
Go for the message
Either you give her a message or better yet, reserve a double message for him and her. You should both take some time off and enjoy some relaxation together. It’s a lover’s day after all, not just girlfriend or wife’s day. Any kind of spa getaway is perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Make a path of rose petals
Girls flip over temptation, flirting and teasing, so buy a lot of rose petals or even potpourri, and leave a trail from the entrance of the house to the bedroom. Leave her a little gift on the bed and she’ll feel like it’s a romantic treasure hunt, and the rewards will be spectacular.
Rent a hotel and pretend your tourist
There is something exciting about not having to clean up the bedroom afterward, so rent a hotel room, grab some bubbly and use all your senses as you pretend to be out-of-town tourist on a love journey.
Don’t forget to do your homework
Nothing spices up a mundane relationship as much as staying at home, renting an erotic movie and “getting to know one another” better all over again. This is obviously not suitable for the first date if you catch my drift, but perfect for couples who have been together for sometime.
Have sex in public
Although this may not be for everyone--and all climates—some couples will get a thrill of a lifetime if they perform the act on risky grounds. It definitely serves as a bonding period and sure to serve as a great inside joke between the two of you for years to come.
Get away
If you work, time and budget allow it; plan a two or three day vacation getaway, specifically at a ski or spa resort. This is guaranteed wild action, and may even take place outdoors.
Dress up
Dress up as if you’re going to an opera, and go to a restaurant or just have dinner at home. Girls love an excuse to get all dolled up and the fact that you’ll be getting dressed up will make anything you decide to do seem line a special occasion. This will be telling her you think she will special, and she’ll love it.
Pop the question
If you think the time is right and you have that look in your eyes…if you are sick of the single life, and if you are…well, when the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed, then maybe, just maybe, there is no better time to propose to her.
