Whether you’ve been together for years or just found each other, Valentine’s Day is the time for couples to plan a romantic date. You can eat out or go to the movies, but there are also more creative options for the real out-of-the-box daters! But, whatever you decide to do on the 14th, you’ll have a great time anyway – because you’re together. Here are 10 great date ideas for that special day with your lover:
1. Take a hike
Even when it’s cold outside, a hike is a great way to get away from it all on Valentine’s Day. You can chat and get to know each other better during the walk. Maybe there is a famous walking route near you? If not, you can always take a look on the internet. But wherever you decide to go for a walk, it will be fun anyway, because you are in good company!
2. Start a waffle bar together
Is breakfast your favorite meal of the day? Then go bake waffles together in your own do-it-yourself waffle bar. Of course, you don’t have to start a real bar. Pretending to be at one of your houses is fun enough! All you need is waffle batter, a waffle maker and all the toppings your hearts desire. You can also go on the healthy tour by putting fresh berries with whipped cream on your waffle. Or you can make a savory waffle with fried chicken. You can’t think of it that crazy!
3. Go ballroom dancing
For the ultimate romantic evening, you can go ballroom dancing together. If you don’t have experience with this yet, there are plenty of dance schools where you can take dance lessons. Before you know it, you’ll be gliding across the dance floor together!

This Valentine’s Day, pretend you’re in the city of love: Paris. Make sweet (or savory!) crepes together, share a bottle of wine and play some romantic music to set the tone.
5. Play the tourist in your own city
Are there any sights in your city that you’ve always wanted to see? Or a museum you’ve always wanted to visit? Hang out with a tourist in your own city and finally get rid of those bucket list items you kept putting off. Immerse yourself in your role by taking photos all day long.
6. Make a scrapbook of your relationship
Even lovers who don’t like tinkering will get a kick out of this fun activity! Collect pictures you took during your relationship, old movie tickets, plane tickets, receipts, whatever reminds you of the beautiful time you have spent together. Make this a book you can both cherish.
7. Take a yoga class
Yoga is not only good for the body, but it can also be good for your relationship! Stretch your limbs while spending time together outdoors.
8. Take a pottery class
What could be more romantic than doing a unique activity with your loved one that you would normally never do? Go to a local pottery studio for an afternoon full of art, creativity and fun!

Prepare a delicious breakfast (or brunch) for your loved one and keep lounging in bed all day! This is something different from the normal hurry in the morning.
10. Go for a drive
No destination? No problem! The only thing you need for this fun valentine date is a sense of adventure and a car. This way you both get out of your comfort zone, while exploring a new area. Who knows what you’ll encounter along the way!
