February 14th marks the day of love or otherwise known as Valentine’s Day. This day is usually filled with romantic decorations and has become a moment for lovers to exchange gifts like chocolates, flowers, and special dates. 

During the pandemic, you need to find other alternatives for your date nights, seeing as most public places are closed to restrict the COVID-19 virus transmission. No need to worry, here are six romantic date ideas for Valentine’s Day that can be safely done without any health risk.

Movie Marathon at Home
Watching movies together with your loved one is a normal thing to do during a Valentine’s Day date. However, the restrictions to limit social activities in public places have shifted the trend of watching movies at the cinema. For couples who used to love watching movies at the cinema, this year’s date night will be slightly different.

Nonetheless, this does not mean that you can no longer enjoy movies with your significant other. Change your house into your own private mini cinema. Pick a movie from a streaming service to watch at home during Valentine’s Day. You can rewatch old romantic movies like Titanic, Pride and Prejudice, and 500 Days of Summer. 

Dinner at Home
Second after watching movies at the cinema, another activity that most couples do during Valentine’s Day is a romantic dinner. Now, with the pandemic around, you can do it right at home. Make the dining room feel intimate by placing aromatherapy candles that you and your significant other like. 

Furthermore, you can do all romantic dinner preparations with your significant other. Starting from buying the groceries, cooking the meal, and eating dinner together accompanied by romantic songs. The warmth and intimacy of this dinner at home won’t be much different from a candle lit dinner at your favorite restaurant. 

Play Games Together
Another fun yet romantic date idea that you can try with your significant other during Valentine’s Day is playing games together. Nowadays, there are plenty of platforms that you can choose to play games with your significant other, despite the distance, from online games on smartphones to game consoles like the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. 

First, pick one game to play with your significant other. Make sure that the game is fun to play together. Don’t forget to give rewards to your significant other every time they win the game. Even though it’s just a small reward, it can mean the whole world to your significant other.

Exchange Favorite Books? How Romantic!
If you and your loved one love reading books, this can be a fun and unique Valentine’s Day date idea. You can buy a book that reminds you of them or a book that you know they’ll love. Invite your significant other to do the same thing. Then, exchange the books and read them together. 

Afterwards, you and your significant other can discuss more about the books that you’ve read. From this discussion, the conversation will lead on and on, getting more exciting. There’s a high chance that you both can find the moral message of those books that can be applied to daily lives. 

Exercise and Ride Bicycles Together
Exercise is very important to ensure that your physique is always at its prime. This year’s Valentine’s Day is the perfect moment to exercise together with your significant other, one example is by riding bicycles together. By exercising with your loved one, you and your significant other can enjoy the outdoors and talk more freely. The perfect date for physically active couples!

Driving Around Town
Tired of being just at home? You can still enjoy a romantic Valentine’s Day date outside your house, but you must always adhere to the health protocols and keep a safe distance. One date idea that might appeal to you is driving around town with your car. It may sound simple, but driving in your car can be an unforgettable experience.

You get to ride a nostalgic road filled with memories of your time together. As you drive around town, play a romantic song playlist and talk about things that make both of you flutter with happiness. Let’s not forget about the glimmering street lights and skyscrapers at night that elevate the romantic atmosphere. 

Make sure that your car is in good condition before going on Valentine’s Day date. See if you need to refill your gas and don’t forget to buy the date preparations like food for a dinner date.
