Now, V-day doesn't have to be all about person who's on the receiving end of your batted eyelashes. However! If you are a traditionalist/romantic a few ideas to fill your days with more kisses than usual:
Tell them you'll cook what ever they want in the kitchen and do what ever they want in the bedroom. Or maybe combine the two (winkity wink!)
Eagerly and uncomplainingly attend an event of your partner's choosing. Yes, this includes movies starring The Rock, professional sports games, sports bars, hiking trips and video game marathons in his BFF's basement.
Get a membership/subscription to something that's meaningful to both of you. It could be a season pass to the roller derby or the art theater, as long as it's something you like to do together.
Recreate your first date, down to your outfit and what you ordered. Ours was a late, weeknight drink at The Turf Club followed by pie at Perkins. Que Romantico, no?
Get a calender made featuring photos of all the fun stuff you've done in the past year.
Plan an escape. It doesn't have to be extravagant! It could be camping in your neighborhood park and zipping your sleeping bags together. Or having a dirty weekend at a sleazy hotel with bad florescent lighting. Getting out of the house is sexy.
Write your partner a letter about the day you met them - what the weather was like, what was going on in the rest of your life, what your first impression of them was.
Get something meaningful engraved into something ridiculous - a spork, a guitar pick, their cleats, the handle of a screwdriver. You get the idea.
Make customized fortune cookies. I've done this in the past by microwaving fortune cookies for 30 seconds, pulling out the factory fortune with a tweezers and then stuffing my own inside.
What will you be doing with your special someone?
