I dont consider myself a romantic, so celebrating Valentines Day really isnt my thing. Its certainly one of the more popular romantic date nights of the year, and its obvious love is in the air that night.
If you and your partner have been together for a while, like me and my husband, and if youre able to get a rare night out you dont want to spend it doing the typical. Say goodbye to the generic dinner and a movie dates, and make this years Valentines Day date one youll remember for years by doing something a little more unique. The romance will still be in the air, but youll have a better story to go with it.
Recreate the first date you ever had together. From where you went to what you ate, it can help spark those first feelings that brought you two together.Take a boxing class together, and throw punches. Its kind of the anti-love date, but I bet the two of you will be laughing the entire time. The endorphins from exercising are a bonus, too.Give back some love by volunteering at a local charity.If youve always been the funny couple in your circle, try your hand at comedy for real! Sign yourselves up for a amateurnight of stand-up comedy.Go do something bad like skinny dipping!Rent your or your partners dream car and go on an exploring adventure.Stay at home and play a fun game of truth or dare and see where the night takes you.Spend the day shopping at home decor shops for upgrades to your bedroom. Take care of quick-fixes during the day, and then enjoy the new room in the evening.Play paintball, but in the dark. Its fun, exciting, romantic, and again, the exercise will get those endorphins rushing!Think about the one thing youve always wanted to do, yet seem to be a little too afraid to do. Think skydiving or bungee jumping! Who better to take that plunge with than your partner on the most romantic day of the year?Go out to a fancy bar in your best getup, and sip on a fancy cocktail with your beau.Go to the art supply store, and pick up big canvases and all the paint you need. Spend the next few hours doing finger-painting portraits of each other, and laugh or marvel at the artwork youve created. Dont forget to hang it in the house afterward!:: What are your plans for Valentines Day? Share in the comments! ::
