How are you planning to spend your Valentine’s Day? Is a trendy restaurant coupled with an impressive gift on your agenda? If this is your usual Valentine’s Day activity, I am sure you agree, as does your significant other, it is time for a change. The V-Day activity options are virtually unlimited. You can find something new and better to do; it just takes a little thinking and creativity on your part. Use this following tips to spark some ideas on how to spend your Valentines.

Valentine’s Day Activity Tip #1: Consider your partner.

It is obvious that you want not only yourself, but also your partner to have an amazing time this year. In order to make this dream a reality, you must think about what your partner likes to do by taking into consideration her personality and character traits. Is she more of a night owl or is she a go-getter during the day? Is she the type of person who prefers the indoors or would she rather walk around the block and enjoy the fresh air? All of these questions will aid you in your Valentine’s Day activity decision.

Valentine’s Day Activity Tip #2: Consider yourself too.

This is a thought that will be easier to think through. Just as with tip #1, you need to think about your own personality and the types of activities you like the most. All of the questions you had to answer about your partner should be answered about yourself too. This is the second step into helping you create a Valentines activity list.

Valentines Activity #3: What do you both have in common?

Now, look over both of the lists you compiled and figure out where the common ground lies. That probably clears up a lot of unknowns.

V’ Day Note: What if you do not have anything in common with each other?

Don’t worry if you have realized there is no common ground between your two lists. You can always combine an activity from one list with one from the other, or you can even find an alternative to something you came up with. Of course, you may always ask your significant other if they have any Valentines activity preferences, which could actually make this process easier as you are getting input straight from the source. Either way you decide to go will work out just fine. But when you follow the above tips, your special someone will truly know you value her opinion and care about her interests.
