However, it if is Valentine’s Day (or your anniversary, or a first date, or another occasion) you better know what you are doing and you mutst leave a good impression. Follow these steps to do just that.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Consider your partner. What is she interested in? Or, more specifically, what would he think is romantic? It’s probably something special—something they do not get to do often but something they enjoy a lot.

2. Decide if it is going to be a surprise. Everyone loves a surprise. However, the advantage of knowing the plans ahead of time is getting to plan them together.

3. Ask your partner’s friends what he likes or what she thinks might be romantic. Some people are more likely to reveal fantasies or other information that might be useful for planning.

4. Set the date. Make sure your partner is free on the night you plan on having a romantic evening. Do not make any arrangements that you cannot change until you're sure about the date.

5. Make a list of everything you will need. Do not buy tickets and forget them on the coffee table. Do not neglect to make dinner reservations at the most crowded restaurant in town. Plan often and early.

Tips & Warnings

• If you’re going to go with a classic like dinner and a movie, throw in a twist. Eat at a nice restaurant neither of you has been to, dress up, or watch a movie in an unusual place, like a drive-in theater.
• Always be flexible. If your taxi gets a flat, your partner gets food poisoning, or some other unforeseen obstacle arises, you have to breeze by it. Focus on the fact that the important part of a romantic evening is your company.
• Be sure you have made plans far enough in advance and have confirmed them with the establishments.
