Chocolates, flowers and a romantic dinner for two – the holy trinity that Valentine’s Day is incomplete without.

Looking into the eyes of the one that u r with and discovering that you have found your life mate.

My idel valentines day would be to take my loved one to a romantic city have a nice meal under the stars while listing to music , drink wine then going for nice walk on a beach under the moon lit sky walking in hand in hand with that loved one

What I would do for Valentine’s Day I would take my wife or partner on a journey, this journey would be a real life story being played out. The theme would be ’bitter, sour, sweet’. I would then take my wife or girlfriend for long walk holding hands then we would stop to have lunch. I would do this every day for 14 days, leading up to Valentine’s Day. My plan, to find a location that I have previously observed with couples of interest living out my theme ’bitter, sour, and sweet’. I would take my wife or girlfriend to this place to have lunch after walking, making sure she would see these couples and situations with my theme being played out. For example, an old couple seen walking they are in their 70’s or 80’s holding hands, they then stop to sit and have lunch in the park in front of us, while eating their sandwage, his wife gentle takes her napkin with shaky hands to wipe her husband’s cheeks clean from food, then she kisses him and remenist with a soft knowing laughter. While I observe this ‘sweet’ with my wife or girlfriend, I would turn to her and commit myself to her with my theme I will love you through the ‘bitter, sour, and sweet’ then kiss her on her forehead. After the 14 days have passed for the theme being played out ‘bitter, sour, sweet’ and I committing my love to her; the next day would be Valentine’s Day. That day, I plan to have a romantic dinner- the setting: before the fire place, with ambient lighting with candles surrounding us, it would be summer, so I turned on the sprinkler hose to make rain drop sounds on the window pane. Then after dinner, as I hold her closely I would then tell her about my 14 day story, and about our journey and that I did it to show- how much I love her, and I want to grow old with her, when she asks why? I would let her know, that we have already walked the journey of our lives seeing all that life has to offer, and I have made up in my heart and soul to spend eternity with her through ‘bitter, sour, and sweet’. Then I will kneel before her hand in hand and ask her to let us renew our vows and then engage her again with a necklace, and then we made passionate love to the sound of the rain drops as we consummate our commitment and new found covenant. If it’s my girlfriend, I would propose to her, then lie on the floor and cuddle together in each other’s arms and drift away –slowly away to the sound of the rain drops. And as the years go by every time it rains and valentine’s day returns , I would say to her after many years of marriage, through ‘bitter, sour and Sweet ’. As she then smiles and kisses me on the cheek and I on her forehead.

a perfect valentines day would be simpley staying in with an easy dinner & tons of movies & cuddling time.. as boring as it may sound its as relaxing as it gets!!

I've never celebrated VALENTINES DAY before.So here goes first i would tell my special man how much I love him and seal it with a kiss.Then I would have the two of us get ready together to go out for a lovely brunch with champagne.Then I go somewhere special for a nice walk where we could enjoy each other.Later I would give him a rose like on the t.v. show the BACHLOR and ask him if he will accept it.When he says yes we will have a nice glass of wine with some nice music playing and indulge in one another for the evening.

Right....had this in my mind for a very long time...never told anyone because I believe one day it will happen...so anyway, it starts off with a rose and letter left on my doorstep telling me to be ready at a certain time wearing the rose in my hair....I am all ready and a car comes to pick me up, in the back seat there is a blindfold and a letter telling me to wear the blind fold until I arrive. Upon arrival my date takes my hand and leads me to a beach, when he removes the blindfold there is champagne and strawberries, candles in the sand making a path to a stage, after enjoying the food and drink I hear music, walking out on to the beach is a string quartet, my date leads me to the stage where we dance and dance and dance. Then in the warly hours he brings out two blankets, and we sit together watching the sun rise....my ideal valentines date....it might happen one day :)

I think the perfect V-day would consist of mystery. Waking up in themorning to a sweet good morning text and a clue to start a very romantic scavenger hunt. each destination provides another clue. maybe a hint @ breakfast, another when talking to your bff. but one that would last the whole day. and not bbeing able to see that special someone until you've found that last clue. ending the evening with a sweet kiss and a small sediment of love, bring you back to the innocent,soft feeling of childlike puppy love.

For me it would be: the right woman, dinner for two, maybe a fire in the fireplace, and the right gift for her and/or me. For me the right gift could be as simple as a bowl of ice cream afterward.

My ideal valentine date would start off with me and my date strolling along river walk, talking and laughing, watching the riverboats go by. Then taking a streetcar to the french quarters,taking in the sites, listening to the music drifting out from the different clubs along the way. Making our way over to Deanies Seafood restaurant, on annunciation ST., where maybe we'd share a plate of barbecue shrimp and french bread,while laughing and talking some more. Later we'd make our way over to bourbon ST., Where Irvin Mayfields club- Jazz Playhouse, is. Where we would listen to a live band, or maybe some soft slow jams like, Pretty Wings - By: Maxwell or Anniversary - By: Tony,Toni,Tone or These Arms Of Mine- By: Otis Redding. Just swaying to the music, in each others arms. Ending with exchanging cards over a homemade dessert and a glass of wine. To me, that would be a sweet valentine, because we would spend it together, having a good time.

My perfect day would be to be woken up with a cuddle told how much he loves me I dont need gifts or cards as spending loads does not mean he loves me anymore , Then we would get up watch some silly telly that makes us both laugh we would cook a meal together then clean up together, in the evening we could go for a walk if the weather lets us or just snuggle up infront of a log fire,,,,, yes it is simple but lovely

My perfect valentine's day would start from the minute I was awaken up by my beloved entering the bedroom with a tray, holding a single rose, a cup of tea and a cinnamon toast. We would smile at each other and he would play with my hair for a while as I have my tea. Tea finished, I'd go for a nice shower, get dressed nicely as well as comfortably. We are going to a Forest.Find the perfect spot, and he would sit down with me. Through the cracked uppermost Bamboo, low whistles and note expel from Natures instrument. Nature composing for us, a Ballad for the moment. There is a lake near by. We are going swimming. We slip into the water. We were giddy and playful at the thought of this endeavour, and the chill of the water awakens the rest of our senses. We wade in to our shoulders, almost to the point of free floating, as bouyancy tries to carry us in the pool. Coming back home i'd see him making some adjustments to the lights in the backyard. Then start walking back and forth behind me, blowing bubbles, pacing in a line about 50 feet in length. I'd watch out into the yard, nothing to be seen, and then, well then, higher up, above the light cast into the yard was, well it was the first bubble, having travelled some mean distance, and steadily climbing in the warmth of the night, and being above the light, it reflected that same light down again, on the bottom half of its sphere, it looked so very much like.... "Star light, Star bright, the first star I see tonight" he would say these words when he knew I had spotted the first bubble, and then, dozens more floating into view, then hundreds, maybe thousands. All of them being part of the small magic that he would diligently prepare for me.

I suppose the first would be taking my date on a nice stroll through a park on a sunny day during the winter break. After that, I would take her to my house for some home made cooking (Eating out's fine, but you can't beat home made, EVER) with some garlic parmesean chicken, sweet and zesty green beans, with sea salt ice cream for desert. After that, a nice comedic movie that the two of us could agree upon and enjoy.....then after that a few rounds on the wii (if she was up to it). That's about as creative as I can be, aside from ending it with me dropping her off at her place then me going back to mine.

My perfect valentine date would be take my partner on an afternoon picnic in a secluded grassy area. There we would dine on a blanket on the grass and drink champagne, eat chocolate and all the other novelties I would take along. When we return home, my special evening will begin with directions- tellng him what to do and where to go example "there is a drink on the kitchen table- this would be an afrodasiac, He would be directed to the shower, while there he would be told knok and then to enter our bedroom which will scream! the ambiance of love, for example, rose petals strewn around,soft red lighting, white silk sheets on the bed and there I will be waiting in all my glory,dressed in an elegant red negligee, awaiting my prince for an evening of sheer love! I love to make my partner happy, so I will go all out to do things I know we both would enjoy

Roller Coasters, Why does Valentines have to be just one day? I'd take a whole week and do a road trip to ride every roller coaster we could find. Finishing on Valentines somewhere fun where we could spend the day with good food, drinks and rides!!

My ideal Valentines Day: Ideally i would love it to be a weekend... a cool day so it would be perfect for snuggling all day..lol. I love music and it would be awesome to wake up to soft love songs playing in the background.. i want to be the one to make breakfast for the man i love, wake him up with a kiss, take a bath together(a long one). Spend the day together laughing,and making others laugh by lending a helping hand where it is needed, coming back home..cook dinner together, cuddle up on d sofa after we are fed and he should read a book to me(lol..i know)while am snuggled up to him..then we see how the evening ends **wink wink**
