Valentine’s Day for Two and You
Ah, Valentine’s Day. I am a romantic at heart but I am not one for buying into commercialism. I was going to write about romantic date ideas but I didn’t want to sound cliché by suggesting you cook a romantic dinner, sprinkle the bedroom floor with rose petals and blow your pay cheque on some uber sexy lingerie. These ideas are all romantic but they are also TYPICAL. Why have a card company dictate how you spend this special day? If you really want to impress your special someone, pause for a minute or two, and really think about what would make this person feel appreciated, what turns them on and how you can express your own feelings for them. This is your chance to have some fun and be creative. Everyone has a soft spot in their heart. Maybe a dinner would do wonders- if you partner is a foodie. Maybe you’re with someone who has an artistic streak or loves sports and adventure. The best way to bring out someone’s passionate side is to have them be involved in something they are passionate about!
Don’t have anyone to share Valentine’s Day with? The worst thing to do is stay at home and whine about being single, then stuffing yourself with a gallon of ice cream. Round up your single friends, dress to the nines and make it a night on the town. Staying at home is not the end of the world either. Why not pamper yourself with a candlelit bubble bath, then prepare your favourite gourmet meal and rent a DVD? Or treat yourself to a day at the spa, or head to the gym for a fitness or yoga class. You never know where you might meet someone special. Look forward to treating yourself and your quality time alone, by choice of course.
