Cute Date Ideas for Valentines Day
Hey everyone,
I am so excited for Valentine's Day this year because, unlike last year, Daniel will be on island and we will likely be able to see each other! With this in mind, I realized how little I had prepared on what we should do or where we should go. I know I can't be the only one overwhelmed here, so I decided to bite the bullet and come up with 5 creative date ideas for those looking for ways to enjoy the holiday with their S.O.
- See a Movie
I know, cliché, right? Rather than scramble last minute thinking of places to go, let me spare you the trouble of trying to make last-minute dinner reservations, why not grab some tickets in advance to one of these upcoming hits:
- The Prodigy: A horror movie starring Taylor Schilling
- Isn’t it Romantic: A comedy starring Rebel Wilson and Liam Hemsworth
- Cold Pursuit: A drama starring Liam Neeson
- Spend the evening indoors (thanks, polar vortex!)
Now, obviously there is no polar vortex here on the islands. But Oahu is currently under wind advisory, with extremely powerful winds and all-day rains, so at least give us that. Taking weather into consideration, why not use it to your advantage and plan a simple date night in? Grab a deck of “What Do You Meme”, finish that movie you’ve both been trying to get to, or maybe just light a candle and order pad thai. Any and all options are open to you. In this case, simple may just be better.
- Dinner and a museum
So, okay, I may be a little biased, but I understand that not every couple is going to have someone who likes to look at art. However, this is where you could easily meet-in-the-middle and both do what you both would enjoy. Decide on which one of you wants to pick dinner and the other can decide on which museum you want to go to. Not a fan of eating out? Try making dinner yourself and share in the experience together and talk about the art you liked or didn't like.
- Go ice skating
Yes! Believe it or not, even in Hawaii you can ice skate. Make it a fun afternoon and spend some time at the rink. Bonus points: teaching your S.O how to skate!
- Play hookie and explore your city
Nothing is as romantic as walking around the city and catching sight of the people, the art, and the scenery. Take a stroll through your city park, grab coffee at a cafe, and top it off with a quick bite to eat before seeing the city at night. Some great places to revisit on Oahu are Kaka'ako and Chinatown!
What do you think of these ideas? Let me know if you and your S.O end up doing these dates, or if you decided to do something different entirely!
