Valentine’s Day is a magical time for lovers and a curse for most singles. Regardless of your status, however, both “unionists” and singles go on dates from time to time. Many people ask – where to go on a Valentine’s Day date or in general – where to go on a date to have a good time?
Especially for you, I have compiled a list of 49 date ideas that can be used on a Valentine’s Day date so that you never run out of ideas. Pick one or more ideas from the list below and be sure to try them out.
With these creative ideas you will make your other half crazy with delight.
1. Walk in the city
There is definitely a place in your city that you’ve never been to. You can deliberately go to an unfamiliar part of the city and walk there as long as you like. A walk may seem like a boring idea, but if you consciously start paying attention to your surroundings, it can be a real adventure.
A version for the brave (and only at your own risk) is a walk around a dangerous district of the city, especially in the evening or at night. With this version of the walk, there will be plenty of emotions.
2. A restaurant you haven’t been to
A similar idea to the previous one is to go to a restaurant that you have never been to. If you rarely go to a restaurant in general, choose one that is thematic (e.g. only with oriental food). Try something new and it will definitely refresh your relationship on Valentine’s Day.
3. An intimate teahouse
If you are a student couple and not only, you are definitely looking for savings wherever you can. Therefore, instead of a restaurant, you can go to the tea room, where the right atmosphere will provide you with moments of joy, and at the same time will not strain your wallet too much.
4. Dating “under the bridge”
One of the best dates I’ve ever experienced is drinking wine with my significant other under one of Krakow’s most frequented bridges. Evening was approaching, but it was a hot May day and there were a lot of people around. Also, it was not allowed to drink alcohol there as it was a public place which only provided an extra thrill. If you like unusual places, you should definitely invite your significant other for such a Valentine’s Day date.
5. Cinema
An old, hackneyed way, however, if you are real cinema lovers, I don’t see a problem if you spend part of Valentine’s Day in the cinema. Pick your favorite movie, jerk off to a big popcorn and a big Coke (and what, Valentine’s Day after all!) And enjoy both the movie and your presence.
For people who only like creative ideas, going to the car cinema is the perfect solution. Just find one in your city or outside the city and plan to go there together
6. Theater
A more refined form of art than cinema – compared to the previous one, even art that is not captivating by its name may seem like a sensational spectacle. If you like theater, you know what I’m talking about – if you are rarely there, maybe Valentine’s Day is a good time to go there?
7. Museum
Have I written about a sophisticated art form before? There is no more sophisticated idea for a Valentine’s Day date than a visit to a museum or art gallery!
The only disadvantage of such exhibitions is that you have to really like them. If you’ve never been to a museum, it’s a very good idea. However, if both you and your other half have been several times and the broadly understood art does not convince you, better let go and do something else.
8. Cemetery
Are you crazy ?! A date at the cemetery? This is probably some kind of joke!
And it’s still on Valentine’s Day! Are you really serious Kornel ?!
Take a look:
These are not jokes, I am writing seriously, and best of all – from my own experience. Several times in my life I took my girlfriend for a date walk in the cemetery – with the small detail that I did not tell her.
The surprise reaction is priceless, which is hard to experience on other dates. I’m talking of course about the date in the cemetery at night. This will additionally bring you closer to each other, and you may even sit there, cuddled up to each other.
Unless you are more afraid of this date than your girlfriend!
9. Dinner on the ship on Valentine’s Day
If you like to experience epic movie scenes in real life, dinner on the boat is one of the more creative ways to date imaginable. The only question is – where would we find a ship – restaurant here?
In Krakow, you can eat such a dinner at an affordable price by ordering a cruise on the Rejsy Krakow website
10. Board games
Are poker, grinder and dice games of your childhood? A good house party is one with a lot of vodka in board games? So go on a Valentine’s Day board game date
In every major city you will find a bar / cafe with board games. You go in, order something and play as much as you want. If you and your half prefer this form of spending time, be sure to go on such a date!
11. Video games
Poker, however, is not for you, but cooperation with the most important person on this planet and the fight side by side with evil is it? So make yourself an evening of video games.
12. A Valentine’s Day venue full of delight
Now for couples who like a magical atmosphere very much. The day before Valentine’s Day, decorate the house and cover all windows. The whole house should be completely dark. Get lots of fragrance refills and red lights and spread them around the house.
Congratulations! You have just created your own habitat of bliss.
When you return from work to such a romantic “place” on Valentine’s Day, the level of passion and intimacy will immediately increase. You can combine it with a relaxing bath or shower, completely in the dark or with a few candles.
This will refresh your relationship or give it a whole new quality.
13. Crazy Valentine’s idea
Now something really spicy comes in. Take your mom out of the room, and if you’re under 18 then don’t read it.
What’s the secret to a really successful relationship?
Every once in a while you have to do something spontaneous and crazy. Sometimes even something that you yourself would not suspect.
He will go shopping.
On Valentine’s Day?! But a creative date idea, indeed!
These will not be ordinary purchases. As soon as you enter the changing room in some store, you can check what you look like in the mirror.
Naked.
Or what do you look naked in the mirror and what it’s like to have sex in front of the mirror, and in public. Have you never done this?
Then you already have the best date idea in 2020 you can imagine.
14. Ice rink
After a series of passionate emotions from the previous point, you can cool down your emotions on the ice rink a bit.
The ice rink is a great idea for all skate fans and for those … who can laugh at themselves.
I remember the first time I got onto the ice rink and couldn’t stop laughing because I was constantly getting smaller or bigger. Especially if both you and your significant other aren’t able to skate well. You must test it!
15. Balcony – Valentine’s Day date
Who said home dating has to be boring?
Wine + Blankets + Warm jackets + Comfortable sitting = a romantic date on the balcony in the middle of the city.
You don’t have a balcony? Sit on the windowsill with the window wide open. Lean back against yourself or sit in front of you and look deep into your eyes.
You don’t have any windows either? Well, in such a situation, nothing will save you – all you have to do is draw windows on a piece of paper and sit next to it.
16. Designing the script, playing roles
If you want to spend a really creative time on Valentine’s Day, try to create a scenario for the perfect day. You can plan what you will do in sequence and play some roles at the same time. Agree that on this day you only speak to each other in a specific, specific way. Try to recreate your first date and the emotions that accompany it (I guarantee it will be a lot of laughter)
Once, for a few days with my then-girlfriend, we made an agreement that we would act as if we didn’t know each other. When it came to a kiss on a date – wow. The magic of first dates is back. You just need to empathize with the roles and build them well, it will definitely be a lot of fun
17. Playing roles in bed
This version is for those who are looking for a really thrilling experience. Become a doctor, firefighter, policeman, slave, plumber for one day – you are only limited by your own imagination. Create a scenario, you can even rent outfits to add realism to the action – and play a game that will obviously end.
18. Valentine’s Day by night in the city
Real Valentine’s Day for you will not start until late in the evening. Wait for the moment when most of the city is asleep. As Valentine’s Day this year is Thursday, in practice you can start from 23 or 24 hours. Another day’s leave from work will also be useful, so the idea requires a little more commitment and plan.
Go on a crazy journey through your city. At night. You can even get lost on purpose, in a car, on night buses, or you can walk everywhere. The night itself has an intimate, passionate atmosphere, especially the time at 1 or 2 am a week when a large part of the city is asleep.
19. Guess baby what’s inside
A blindfold, lots of good food, and (for the more severe version) a rope for tying will come in handy for this game.
Buy your favorite sweets (and not only that, lemon is one of the better products in this game) and feed each other blindfolded. It is best if you change the band and do it in turns.
Big emotions guaranteed!
20. Valentine’s Day on the roof
Extended version of the date on the balcony. Get on the roof of your apartment block, prepare warm clothes and mulled wine for yourself and your other half. Watch the city at night from a tall building. If you don’t live in a block of flats, you can always walk into a random block in the city and carry out your plan – there will be even bigger, unforgettable experiences
PS Some blocks have access to the roof with padlocks. I’m not telling you what to do about this fact, but I’m telling you to be prepared for it
21. Valentine’s day speakeasy style
I found out about Speak Easy style bars relatively recently. However, I know that in some time I will have to go there, because the offer is really tempting.
Imagine that you only enter the bar when you enter your password. Let’s add a mysterious location to that, which is usually not easy to find unless someone introduces you there. These are Speak Easy-style bars, only for the initiated. I haven’t figured out how getting this “password” works, but one thing is for sure – such a date on Valentine’s Day will definitely be remembered.
Just type in your city name followed by “bar speakeasy” and something interesting should pop up. As far as I know, one of the most popular speakeasy bars in Krakow is the Mercy Brown bar
It is an interesting place for Valentine’s Day because it takes you several dozen years back in time.
22. Climbing wall
A date for people who love sports. Just arrange a race on the climbing wall. If you’ve never done this – great! Loser puts Valentine’s Dinner!
23. Escape room
How about a double date on Valentine’s Day? This is a great proposition for couples who want to spend Valentine’s Day with more people than just two. Take your friends with you and go to the escape room.
24. A date of dreams and fantasies
How about a date idea where you only talk about your most deeply hidden fantasies and dreams? Which so far only you knew and were afraid to tell anyone? This is the perfect way to have Valentine’s Day, because thanks to it you will increase the emotional bond with your significant other, and your trust level will also increase.
25. Zoo
Are you a fan of animals?
Your partner is studying veterinary medicine or is a “cat, dogs, horses, lions, tigers, monkeys, bears, spiders lover?” If so – go on a date at the zoo. If you have any sense of humor, laugh until you cry
26. A dance lesson
The world today is full of possibilities. There are tons of gyms, places where you can learn a new language or cooking, and lots and lots of other skills. It is the same with dancing.
Many schools offer the first lessons for free – in addition, thanks to such a lesson you will learn at least a minimal sense of rhythm, which is crucial in dancing. If you’ve always thought you had very wooden legs to dance, a dance lesson is a great idea for a Valentine’s Day date. Moreover, the ability to dance is very crucial.
Perhaps you will stay at this dance course for a longer time, and after a few months you will be able to dance freely in front of the audience, like the parents of your other half. You will gain a few points of attractiveness in their eyes
27. Night of clubs
Or maybe it’s not that you like to dance, because … dance is your whole life and you just love it?
Take your other half on a nightclub escapade on Valentine’s Day and conquer the dance floors of more clubs together.
28. Film Marathon
Are you a homebody and you don’t like to leave your home? Nothing is lost! Even without it, you can have a successful Valentine’s Day.
Buy your favorite food, drinks and organize a movie marathon with your partner on Valentine’s Day. Choose a series or movie that has multiple parts (James Bond or any other Harry Potter) and watch your favorite characters on the color screen all night long!
29. Forest exit
What about a Valentine’s Day picnic in a remote area? Go far out of town, take the necessary equipment and enjoy pleasant moments in harmony with nature on Valentine’s Day. It can be a simple walk or a full day trip – it all depends only on you
30. Billiards
One of the more classic ways to date, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Personally, I like billiards a lot, and to keep the thrill right, I make bets on dates very often. Especially on Valentine’s Day, such a bet will have a special power.
The loser puts a beer, makes dinner or… gives a sensual massage for an hour. It’s up to you what you like and what will be the main stake in the plant
31. Eating in the dark
The restaurant is one of the more classic ideas and not the most creative date idea. But how about a date in total darkness? There are restaurants where you can dine in the dark. When your eyesight cannot see, your other senses are sharpened. It is worth a try.
32. Bowling
Or maybe you just got lost on the internet and found an article for Valentine’s Day lovers, and you are single yourself? Nothing is lost! Take a pack of your friends and go bowling on Valentine’s Day. Who said only couples can have fun on St. Valentine’s Day?
33. All day in a different city
Do you want to experience an amazing adventure on Valentine’s Day, like a Valentine’s Day movie? Take your half to another city and spend the whole day there. It’s gonna be much cooler if it’s a city you’ve never been to. You can plan all the attractions or choose spontaneity.
34. Travel by car without a plan
Born to be waaaaaajld!
Refuel the car, take the girl in your arms, put her in the car and go straight ahead without any plan. You can only establish a preliminary plan of how many kilometers you will travel and in which direction of the world. 100km north, then 30km east, then 67km south. Wherever you ultimately land, you will have a date, no matter what the possibilities of the place and the neighborhood you end up in.
35th Concert on Valentine’s Day
Choose your favorite artist. Now change this artist to your other half’s favorite. Buy your tickets and it’s ready to go – you’ve got a musical Valentine’s Day date
36. Karaoke on Valentine’s Day
Improved version of the concert because now you are the main artist. Find a bar or just a place that offers karaoke and sing as much as you can
37. Write and sing your own song
Valentine’s Day at home? Write your own song and sing it. It can consist of funny / scary / erotic stories from your life. Record it on a recorder or a computer program and play it back during the dinner together.
38. A day at the spa
Tired of everyday life? Travel far from where you live and treat yourself to a full day at the spa. It will do you good.
39. Laser park
Who said guns are only for kids? You do not even know how much fun laser paintball can be – entertainment is cheap, generally available and most importantly – it is a lot of fun. You can take your friends with you or play on your own.
40. Strip chess / checkers
Something for fans of unconventional games. Strip chess or checkers is a very good idea for an original foreplay for couples. To raise the level of passion, turn off the lights in the house and light the candles so that only the boards and your figures can be seen.
41. Hide and seek in the city
Something for true adventurers on Valentine’s Day. Play hide and seek in the city. Determine the area of ​​your activity and the way of the game, e.g. every few minutes you send tips by text message or call each other and guide you to the place where you are.
42. Watching a movie with the voice turned off
Are you bored with regular movies?
Do you feel the spirit of a good teacher in you?
So watch a movie with your significant other on Valentine’s Day… but not that normally! Mute your voice and add your own throughout the movie. You will get the best effect when it’s a movie you haven’t watched before
43. A day at the funfair
Another way to spend a whole day on Valentine’s Day. Take your partner to the amusement park and rediscover the children within you.
44. A visit to the castle on Valentine’s Day
Something for history fans – you + her + castle = historical trip. You can visit a castle that is open to tourists or the ruins of some castle and arrange a date there. There are many possibilities, only your imagination is the limit
45. Valentine’s Day Tour of the City at Night
Are you a motorcyclist or do you like night driving? Take your significant other for a spin and hit the city at night! Ride around the city or outside of it wherever you want. You can park later in some secluded, quiet and intimate place and end the date with moments of … passionate ecstasy.
46. ​​Pretend to be foreigners
Something for couples with a really long experience. Prepare your life story … With the detail that it will not be your own life story, but made up for the needs of a higher plan. You are passionate Spanish and she is hot French, you came to US from sunny Barcelona and you are looking for happiness after your dance school collapsed …
You have two children, you are looking for a way to a restaurant where you will eat a real pork chop, because you have been here since yesterday and you do not know local cuisine.
You use only English with a distinctive accent. With good acting and appropriate styling – you will have a lot of laughter, and no one will recognize you
PS It will be safer to do it in a foreign city
47. Valentine’s Day Challenges
The fun is when you challenge yourself all day on Valentine’s Day or on any other day. They can be courageous challenges, they can be funny, or they can be sexual challenges – choose what suits you best. When you start with simple challenges in the morning and get to really tough / bold ones in the evening, the fun will be even better.
48. Test drive in a car you cannot afford on Valentine’s Day
Porsche, Mustang, Lambo sports? What else would you like to ride in your life? Dress as best you can, let your significant other do the same. With a serious, cool face, enter the car dealership like two professionals and say that you are interested in buying something really good. Let the seller prove yourself. Say you want to give this car a try before you make up your mind. And then enjoy pleasant moments in a fast, sporty car
49. Make the whole bar your playground
A way for people who love creative ideas and have already used many of them in their lives. Plan a cut-scene in the bar – it may be an argument scene, but do it sensitively so that the whole bar is involved. If you are afraid that you are not able to act as an actor, choose something simpler – act in the bar as if you didn’t know each other. Let your love stand at the beer bar, and you can talk to some guy and tell him to help you pick her up. Involve as many people as possible in your intricate plan. Later, you can either tell them the truth or leave them sweetly unaware.
