Flowers. Chocolate. Teddy bears! Valentine’s Day is the day that all couples can’t wait for. It is a day to celebrate love and the relationships that people have built. Now all that being said, some people have a more difficult time coming up with ideas to show their loved ones how much they care. Here are a few ideas for the people who struggle: 

It is common knowledge that most people love to be loved. Showing attention, affection, and the fact that you care shows someone you respect and love them deeply. That will always help strengthen the relationship. A first classical Valentine’s date idea would be getting chocolates, flowers, and a teddy bear and showing up at your partner’s doorstep with a large smile. You should consider making reservations at a nice restaurant or just go to a favorite place to eat.

For the people who prefer a more intimate setting, you could consider making a nice homemade dinner and setting up some candles and flowers to make a nice cozy setting. Enjoy a nice meal and then move to the living room to cuddle up and watch a classical rom-com. Some good movie ideas would be Bridesmaids, You’ve Got Mail, Think Like a Man, 50 First Dates, Clueless, and My Big Fat Greek wedding.

If you want to have a more personal experience but don’t like people and don’t want to stay inside, here’s an idea:. Grab your partner and get in the car and blast your favorite songs with the windows down and go for a (safe and slow) drive to a remote and not crowded spot. Make sure you’re not trespassing! Go outside with your loved one, a blanket, and some fun little snacks under the stars. You can watch the stars and reminisce on the fun experiences that the two of you have had together. 

These are just a few simple ideas of things to do, but at the end of the day, just make sure to remind your loved one how much that they matter to you.
