One of the most obvious choices would be to go out and grab a scrumptious meal at a fancy restaurant. But if you want to level it up a bit, try exploring restaurants you’ve never tried. If you live in Canada, there are so many romantic places you can check out. Bishop’s at Vancouver is very popular for its lush selection of seafood, meats and farm fresh produce. Five Sails and Hart House are also some of the highest rated seafood restaurants in the area. Don’t forget that when it comes to top rated restaurants like these, reservation is a must. Valentine’s day is peak season for couples and families looking out for a good dine so it’s better to be prepared. Call your chosen restaurant at least 2 weeks before your scheduled date night to block out a table. If you’re lucky you can even choose a seat with a view.

2. Do something special *wink*
Valentine’s isn’t just a day for eating out, watching movies, and getting flowers and teddy bears. It’s also a day a lot of couples have sex. Yup you read that right.

Anyway, it’s really all up to you and your values, whether this is something you want to consider doing on Valentines. If you’re up to it though, don’t forget to practice safe sex and maybe spice it up a bit by wearing valentines steel boned corsets.
