Just a few days left until the day of love! Love and romance are already in the air – can you feel it too?

Valentine’s Day holds such a special place in the calendars of people who believe in love – and in making their partners feel special. While many men wait for this particular day of the year to get down on one knee and propose to their loved one in the most special and memorable way possible, others like to keep it light and simply enjoy a gourmet candlelight dinner with their partner.

No matter which category you fall into, Valentine’s Day calls for special preparation and precise arrangements to make sure nothing goes wrong on the important day.

Women get a chance to feel adored and valued on Valentine’s Day when their partner showers them with love, care, and appreciation, expressing their hearts out – which many men might not do every day.     

As much awaited as this day usually is, it can get pretty stressful too regardless of how long you have been together with your partner. From pretty keepsakes to special experiences, choosing the perfect gift for your girlfriend or wife for an auspicious day like February 14 can get overwhelming and confusing. 

Since there is not so much time left for you to run around for creative ideas to plan the perfect date and buy the perfect gifts, we are here to help you by giving some helpful tips on how to make this Valentine’s Day the best of your life!

Now before we jump into the pool of ideas, we understand how there are different stages in a relationship. And of course, considering the stage you are in does matter while planning for the special day. Each relationship stage has its own charm and with our ideas, you can add to the affection and love it holds and even take your relationship to the next level this Valentine’s Day if you want!

The ‘Just Met’ Stage

Have you recently met an interesting woman whom you hit it off with at the very first date? Or maybe you have just realized that you have fallen in love with your friend – and can’t get over the excitement.

The ‘just met’ stage is where attraction and excitement are at its peak in a relationship. You are flying on cloud 9 and you feel butterflies each time you look at your partner or hold her hand. While everything in the first stage of the relationship is beautiful, you probably cannot wait to confess your feelings to ‘the one’ and make it official.

This relationship stage is where you cannot seem to get enough of your newly found love and cannot wait to sweep her off the ground each time you see her.

When everything in the ‘almost official’ relationship feels perfect, why should there be any potholes in your planning for this Valentine’s Day? You have probably only started getting to know her and now, you have to plan a day to make her feel special! You may feel uncertain as to whether she would like something or not. The key is to keep things simple yet special. Going overboard might scare her away or make her think of you as an overly loving person – and you wouldn’t want that!

Don’t freak out – we have some amazing ideas to help you make that special someone feel loved like never before on this Valentine’s Day.

Ideas for the Perfect Date:

  • Go on a sweet date – no dinner, just desserts and drinks
  • Enjoy a low-key date – grab some snacks and a blanket and go stargazing!
  • Take her to your favorite place in the city or ask her to take you to hers
  • Watch a sports game together if you both are a fan
  • Take her chocolate tasting – if she likes chocolates, she’ll love you for this!

The Stage Where Everything is Going Steady

The second stage of a relationship is when you and your partner are officially in a relationship and this might not be your first Valentine’s together. The spark may have died a little bit but your love for her surely hasn’t!

You have started getting more comfortable around each other and can perhaps feel an emotional connection with one another. This is the stage where you get to know each other’s likes and dislikes better and just start being yourself around each other.

You have already confessed your feelings for your partner and so, you can go on the more romantic side without worrying about being too extra.

You both are past the struggling phase and going strong – thumbs up for that!

However, it’s time to step up your game this Valentine’s Day and show her that you not only love her but are also happy to be hers.

The Mr. and Mrs. Stage

If you are at this stage of your relationship, you and your partner probably have a lot of history together. Looking back at the time when you two got together can bring lots of sweet memories rushing back, making you feel nostalgic. The fact that you have reached this stage in your relationship means that your love is strong enough to beat anything that comes in its way and is not the least bit afraid to shine through.

Marriage is a beautiful bond. No matter how long you have been in a relationship with your partner, look at marriage as a new journey. It is the beginning of something great – perhaps a family or simply a strong couple. Now that you have tied the knots, you may be confident in love like never before.
