Freaking out about that “special day” in February? You know, the day that you spend expressing your affection for that special guy…he may be a long time crush, a boyfriend, a campus cutie or even a guy you met downtown. Whoever he is, we want you to enjoy your Valentine’s Day with him, so we came up with a few date ideas for you! Here are our top 5 picks:
1. Snow Day
Embrace the weather with your Valentine’s Day cutie! No matter what the weather brings on the 14th there will be something to enjoy! You can take in the beautiful bluffs while ice-skating on Lake Winona, or build a snowman made of love!
2. Cooking Together
Sure, going out to dinner is nice, but why not spend the night making a meal together? There is a lot of fun to be had in your kitchen! You could even have an indoor picnic; lay a blanket down, light some candles and relax in the warmth of your own home.
3. Take A Class
It’s always fun to learn something new, so why not learn something new with your boo? Take a dance class, a pottery class, or even fitness class together at WSU. There are lots of laughs to be had together.
4. Breakfast In Bed
Although it would be nice to receive a little a breakfast in bed, let’s face it, you would cook him a better breakfast, so do something special for your man! Heart shaped pancakes topped with strawberries and whipped crème…I’m sure he would appreciate it.
5. Movie and Wine
Movies are a classic date idea, but save some money and have your honey over for a movie and wine night. You could have a movie marathon, 80’s movie night, or a classic lovey-dovey movie night. Wine is cheaper than movie theater popcorn, and you don’t have to worry about the rest of the theater judging your laugh or your conversation.
