What to do, what to do?  Dinner and a Movie?  Sometimes we can easily get stuck in a rut when it comes to date ideas, so here are  5 Valentine’s Date ideas, to spark your dating creativity.

1. ‘A Great Pick Up’ – Sometimes what could be a rather unimaginative date idea can be made memorable by arriving to pick up your date in an unexpected mode of transportation.  Yes there is the cliché limousine, but why not try something different like a scooter, horse, tandem bicycle, golf cart or roller blades.

2. ‘On a Mission’  – Just like the old party game ‘Treasure Hunt’, set up a series of clues for your date to follow in order to find you.  When they do find you, you are waiting with a fun activity to do together or a romantic dinner.

3. In the Park – If you happen to be in the Auckland region over the summer months there are a great selection of free outdoor movies and concerts that you can take your date too.  Take along a picnic and enjoy the outdoor entertainment together.  For more details on when and where these events are taking place click here.

4. ‘Decisions, Decisions’ – If you are tired of being the one who always makes the date plans then here is a great idea for you.  Send your loved one an invitation for a date. However, create multi-choice options for the when, where and what so they have to make the decision for once. Here is an example …

5. ‘A Rotic Evening’ – While Valentine’s Day is considered to be more for couples, why should the singles miss out on celebrating love.  Rotic is simply ‘romantic’ without the ‘man’.  So arrange a girls night with a group of single friends.  Why not have a candle light dinner and watch a good chick flick.
