10 Fun Valentine’s Day Activities to do with your Significant Other

  1. Be spontaneous! Go to the DMV together and wait in line. Spend a whole day there!
  2. Consider a romantic arts and crafts activity, like constructing homemade anal beads or building a spaceship made out of yarn.
  3. Try something new in the bedroom. For example, scream “YOUR MOTHER NEVER LOVED YOU!” at the height of climax for a fun surprise.
  4. Order for each other in a restaurant. If your significant other is allergic to something, make sure you get it for them to demonstrate that your love can overcome any obstacle.
  5. Go on what starts out as a romantic hike and turns into hours of being lost and frightened and cold and alone in the woods. Laughingly bet each other who’s going to break into hysterics first! A sense of humor is the most important thing in any relationship.
  6. Plan a large brunch with your entire extended family, and make sure to discuss important topics like politics and religion. Getting to know each others’ families can bring you closer.
  7. Have a vegan salon day! Instead of wasting time and precious Earth energy, give each other the royal treatment in the comfort of your own home! Use teabags and old avocados from the compost heap to give each other relaxing facials. Make your own nail polish using fruit juices and period blood. 
  8. Have lots of other friends in relationships? That calls for a group outing. Get the gang together for something everyone will enjoy, like highly competitive drag racing or a World of Warcraft tournament!
  9. If you’re creative types, compose each other epic poems! The catch: you have to memorize the whole thing and then dictate them to each other, a la John Milton. Nothing under 5,000 words! ;-)
  10. Spend the day communicating using only eye contact. This means no words-spoken, written, or signed/pantomimed! You’ll have a fun day figuring out new ways to say, “I love you.”
