Two more romantic dates to try
4. Relationship scavenger hunt.
Relive old memories while making new ones by setting up a course with clues that relate to the intimate details of your relationship. For example, your first date, when/where you first kissed, your most romantic holiday together, etc. Answers to each clue lead you to places that hold significance for you both - where you first confessed your love to each other, where you got engaged and so on. "You can end up where you had your first date, or where you met," Gibson says. "It's fun and also fairly inexpensive."
5. Play local tourist for a day.
Rediscovering the city or town you live in is a surefire way to infuse Valentine's Day with a sense of adventure. Plan a day that includes visits to historic sites, museums, art galleries, parks, vineyards, beaches - any part of your area you love to visit, or haven't yet visited and want to check out. Ultimately, says Gibson, a little thought can go a long way in creating a memorable and adventurous Valentine's Day.
"It is work to put thought into a relationship, and to find out what it is that would make someone's face light up with pleasure and love," Gibson says. But, she adds, Valentine's Day can be a wonderful opportunity to give and receive love.
