Valentine's Day Date Ideas Are Boundless

It's All About Having Fun

It's a Saturday night and you're trying to figure out what you and your significant other want to do.

"Dinner?" you ask.

"Sure, I guess so," he says.

"Where?" you reply.

"I don't care," he replies.

And so the dating dilemma goes. Round and round the conversation will go until you both decide on your old standby.

But don't fall into the dating pitfall on Valentine's Day.

The ideas are endless for lovers on the most romantic day of the year.

Out-of-the-Ordinary Ideas

  • Find an airline, helicopter or hot-air balloon company that gives tours of the city. Take a night ride high in the sky and bring along a bottle of bubbly (if you're old enough to drink).
  • Make your own drive-in movie theater. Bring a TV/VCR outside to the driveway and place it in front of the garage. Park your car in front of it, turn up the volume and snuggle up.
  • Go on a progressive dinner. Have appetizers at a restaurant, the main course at another, dessert at another restaurant and drinks at a nightclub or pub.
  • Drive around counting restaurants and eat at the 100th restaurant you find. You may end up at a five-star restaurant or at McDonald's -- the fun lies in the mystery of not knowing where you'll end up.
  • Go on a tour of a factory in your town. Whether it is a microbrewery or an ice-cream shop, the tours are interesting and educational and not something you do on an everyday basis.
  • Take a class together. Have you always wanted to learn how to brew your own beer, make the perfect pasta or learn how to do the tango? One-day classes abound throughout the city you live in. Just call a local college, cooking school or dance studio to find out more information.
  • Volunteer your time together. Build a house with Habitat for Humanity, give blood or become a Big Brother and a Big Sister.
  • Take a hay ride together.
