VALENTINE'S DAY DATE IDEAS

Isn't Valentine's Day a funny holiday? Everyone has such different opinions on it - some love it and can't wait for more chocolate and flowers than they know what to do with, and others seriously despise the holiday. I think I fall somewhere in between. I'm not into having "the most romantic day ever", but I do think it's a good chance to stop and appreciate the people you love in your life, whether that's friends, family, or a significant other. What does freak me out (at least at this point in my life) is the idea of going to a fancy dinner where ONLY COUPLES are out. I don't know, it makes me feel like I'm in a weird cult or something. Thoughts in my head: "Why are there only parties of two?" "This couple isn't even talking, why are you at a restaurant?!" If you have similar feelings - here are 10 fun, non stuffy Valentine's Day date (or non-date) ideas.

1. Go cosmic bowling and eat tacos and drink margaritas after.

2. Stay in and have a game night (two person games, of course)

3. Spend the day volunteering (it's a Saturday after all) and grab some BBQ and beer after.

4. Pick 3 movies you both have never seen. Pop the popcorn, pour the wine, enjoy!

5. Be tourists for the day. Go to the places in your city you've wanted to go, but never do.

5. Two words - trampoline park.

6. If it's warm enough, rent bikes and bike around the city, stopping at favorite places for a lunch and a cupcake.

7. Visit a brewery or winery.

8. Again, if it's warm, pack a picnic and lay in a park.

9. Take a walk and take turns playing your favorite songs.

10. Make a dinner you've never made, turn on the tunes, and have a dance party in the kitchen.
