So what is a typical Valentines Day date???

denisegolden

I was married for 19 years to a man who depised holidays, all of them, with the exception of Thanksgiving...so I have not celebrated Valentines day in, I believe, 17 years. This year someone has asked me to go out with them, and wants me to decide what to do...I have no clue what to say...any ideas? what do you and your date typically do?

ohhh how exciting! I've never really celebrated Valentines day so can't tell you... I'm at least hoping you get some beautiful flowers and that the date is super nice (that's probably the most important part lol)

P.S. I just saw that you've lost 203 lbs - that's awesome!!!!!

The typical Valentine's date is February 14th,

my son was born on the first valentines day that i was actually in a relationship hahahaha, the present that just keeps on giving my husband reckons , so I have never done anything either.

From what I understand, things dont need to be typical in order to do them on valentines day. Think of something you would like to do and suggest it.

If it were me I'd like to have a picnic on the beach and spend the night surrounded by music.

I haven't gone on a Valentine's Day date in awhile (grumble grumble) but for the last one, we saw a film, went to a pub for a few drinks then had dinner at a nice restaurant. It was a really good time but I suppose who you're with is more important than what you do, really. Enjoy your date!

We have our favourite meal at home - far cheaper than going out to a restaurant! If we ever do go out we go before Valentine's night because restaurants hike up prices on purpose! Cheeky feckers!! You could ask him to cook you your favourite meal and watch a movie together at his place?

I've usually been recently dumped around Valentine's Day, so I spend it at home drinking in a dark bedroom watching horror movies.
This year is different. I was dumped last weekend, so I will probably not drink, but still watch horror movies in my dark bedroom.

I've only gone on other people's V-Day dates when they wanted a buffer... :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

One year I got a tattoo... but anyway, just have fun and don't make it mean more than just any date, so there's not all this pressure to be perfect. Really, it's just another day, right?

(That's what I keep telling myself anyway...)

When I think of a 'typical' Valentine's day date I think dinner at a very nice restaurant. However, if this is someone you really like, maybe you should go with something not so typical. I get bored with just going out to dinner on V-day. Depending on the climate where you live, maybe you could do a picnic complete with some wine or champagne. You could ask him for some input too... its kind of a lot of pressure for him to put all the plans on you for a Valentines date. Have fun!

Last time I had a date on that day, i booked a day at the spa for messages (i knew she was wanting one) and stuff, and then went swing dancing, and went out for drinks later, and then, well cant tell the rest.

A nice romantic dinner, a huge thing of ice cream.. the company of my one and onlyyy.. stuffed animal.. & mushy gushy romantic movies that make me cry.
I've never been on a Valentines date.. :P

I hate celebrating Valentine's Day, lucky for anyone who ever had the pleasure of being my boyfriend. I'd say go camping, but that's because I live in a land where the weather is perfect this time of year.

Go have a nice dinner and dancing afterward to burn calories and to ignite some sparks between you two.
Who knows?
Maybe you two could end up burning even more calories!

My husband and I usually stay in and I make a special dinner and we watch a movie, but when we were first married a local restaurant of ours did a special where it was a dinner for two, a bottle of champagne, a rose and a desert to share. It was great and it was under $50 and we went for a walk afterwards (we lived in a warm climate then). I thought it was romantic and we had a lot of fun.

I couldn't take a girl camping. I always forget to bring something back. Although the thought of forgetting my gf in the woods does make me laugh:laugh:

As for the date, go out for a meal, buy each other little gifts to exchange at the table & then go back home for some wine & a movie :]

TeeRaceFisher

it's a date- have fun with it. Skip the normal dinner and movie crap and go to a museum or a local theater show. Have a progressive dinner (appetizers at a bar, dinner at one of your houses, dessert at a coffee place etc. etc.) get him a silly, small present, that way if he shows up empty handed, it's joke-y enough to not make him feel bad, or if he does bring you something, you have something to give in return. I hope you have fun!

omg its like a thanksgiving grinch? Hated holidays?! For that many years!

I was the whole last minute dude but it all worked out, im the one out @ 9pm day before V-Day gettin flowers, balloons, candy, etc and hiding them in the car and waking up @ 5am to go grab em and set it all up thru out the apartment.
Id toss on a dvd she liked, get breakfast going, get her all fed, get a bedroom cardio sesh in and chill for while.
Go out later, have a rezzy set @ a nice place where i cant read a word on the menu except "crepe" or "es cargo"
Have a nice walk, set it like a parade route and strategically stop @ nice spots i mapped out.

awww, single??? jk, sounds great though!!!

I got married super young, and we were broke off our *kitten*** most of the time. So we started this crazy tradition of spending V-tines playing Mario Party and eating Ben & Jerrys in the middle of the living room, before......well, other things. This will be my first V-day single in god, 13 years I think? I contemplated being sad about it, then I decided that it's gonna be what I make of it. So I'm buying roses and chocolate for each of my babies, and spending the evening with the 3 little loves of my life!

You so deserve this, Denise! Is this a romantic date or out with friends. If possibly romantic, choose a nice but not too expensive restaurant where you can talk and just enjoy the evening. Relax and experience what you have to look forward to now. So happy for you!

Get hopped up, make some bad decisions.
