Tips & Warnings
If you don't currently have a significant other, invite friends over to watch the movie with you.
Try to find a romantic movie with a Valentine's Day theme. Ask the clerk at the movie rental store for suggestions.
Figure out what kind of mood you will be in. If you're feeling a little cynical, then a romantic comedy may help lighten things up for you. A romantic tear-jerking movie may be good if you're feeling nostalgic or melancholy, but it might only do harm if you've just suffered a big break-up or are feeling unusually depressed.
