Depending on whom you are taking out, a boyfriend, a wife or someone you just started dating the date needs to be tailored just right.<\/p>\n<p>Every year my husband and I try to do something special because we know how important it is to take that time and just enjoy each other. For us, valentines day is extra special because we also had our first date just before valentines day, so it definitely reminds us of the time when we just met. The truth is it really doesn\u2019t matter what you do with the one you love as long as you spend it together, but if you need some inspiration for that perfect date below are some ideas to get those love juices flowing.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The obvious choice is going for a romantic dinner. This will give you time to connect and have that quite conversation you\u2019ve been craving. Don\u2019t forget to book well in advance as restaurants fill up fast on Valentines Day.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/couple-cooking.jpg\" alt=\"couple cooking\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Take a cooking class together. Be it a chocolate workshop or just a regular cooking class, it can be a super sexy experience.<\/li>\n<li>Hit the dance floor! When was the last time you went dancing? Let alone with the one you love? Go somewhere you can both enjoy the music and get close.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/couple-dancing.jpg\" alt=\"valentines dancing\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/li>\n<li>Go to the theater&#8230;but not just any theater experience will do on Valentine\u2019s Day. Check your local listings for a burlesque show, this should really heat things up when you get home as you can practice the moves you just saw.<\/li>\n<li>Stay in and have a games night. Of course you won\u2019t be playing scrabble\u2026 think \u2018truth or dare\u2019 and other intimate games.<\/li>\n<li>Order in&#8230;the CHEF! When was the last time you had someone make dinner for you in your own house? There are many chefs who will come to your home and make a special romantic dinner for both of you so you don\u2019t have to lift a finger.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-931\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/couple-eating-with-chef.jpg\" alt=\"couple eating with chef\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/li>\n<li>If you want to go all out and have a Valentine\u2019s day to remember, find a babysitter and surprise your date with a fancy hotel room. This will guarantee a memorable night.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Of course after your special night together send your loved one a special slide show like this one, telling them how much fun you had!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Love Shimmers Slideshow - Valentine&#039;s day Slideshow\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-63lHsoljY4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Let us know in the comments below what are your plans for this Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out our easy to operate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/maker\/card-maker\/valentines-day\/\">online Valentine card maker<\/a>, it&#8217;s free!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going out for a date on Valentines Day can be romantic and special but can also be a little intimidating.
