You don't always want to go to a restaurant with your boyfriend on Valentine's Day, watch cheesy films, do those standard things that every other couple does? Then watch out!

We have a few ideas for you on how you can use Valentine's Day in a completely different way and still ensure a portion of romance and fun for two. Even now in times of a pandemic!

Do you remember your first date, where you met, what you had for dinner and what you wore? Relive that exciting moment on Valentine's Day and do the exact same date again! Maybe with a little less excitement than back then, but with all the more feelings!

Your first date can't be implemented like this again? Then here are 51 (!) more ideas for a date with a fresh, innocent feeling of getting to know each other!

Everyone can go out to eat! You could also cook for yourself instead. Either a meal together or his and her your absolute favorite meal. The main thing is that you have fun together in the kitchen! And as the saying goes: love goes through the stomach...

Here you can get great recipe ideas if you want to try something new instead of always having the same favorite food. Or would you rather be guided by someone individually? Then take part in a BakeNight!

In the course of a relationship you collect some memories together, mainly in the form of photos. But you rarely really look at them in all their abundance. Use Valentine's Day to reminisce. Especially in the cloud storage of various mobile phone providers, pictures and videos often accumulate for years, which could hold some funny and beautiful moments for you as a digital souvenir album!

Of course, the best way to look back in style is on a projector that can also be connected to a cell phone:

Have you always wanted to go salsa dancing? Or have a dinner in the dark, ride a tandem or go climbing? Then do it together on Valentine's Day! So you can laugh, learn and make new memories together.

You can also give your partner a voucher for such a special experience. You can find him, for example, through Jochen Schweizer.

Of course, you could also do a classic pub crawl with lots of beer. However, if you like it a bit fancier and are more of a wine drinker anyway, then simply combine bar hopping with a wine tasting! Beforehand, find a few bars that you can visit on a route and treat yourself to a glass at each one. Or two, or… ????

By the way, red wine is supposed to help against a corona infection!

Really unusual for Valentine's Day. But it doesn't necessarily have to be an evening for two if you know that an evening in a larger (3G) group (adapted to the circumstances, of course) would be much more fun! You can still flirt and go home together anyway. We have collected fun party games that you can play with your friends here.

Otherwise, there is also a great collection of games here with absolute classics:

Yes, HORROR movies. Love tearjerkers are far too clichéd. ???? And you can also snuggle up really well when things get particularly scary... We show you the scariest horror films and series on Netflix here.

Sleeping, sex, eating (maybe you just order something?! Maximum laziness!), deep conversations, gossip, listening to music... And all of that in a cozy bed. Sounds pretty perfect, doesn't it?

Yes, in summer, with an open roof, drive-in cinemas are even cooler. Nevertheless: With heating, blankets and hot drinks (and a lot of closeness), the trip on Valentine's Day is also a very special experience!

Both give out ten cute/cheeky/funny notes around the apartment or just one room each. Whoever finds them all first is the winner and gets a massage, their favorite food or something similar as a prize.

Maybe it's always been his domain, maybe the other way around: Either way, you could sit together in front of the console for a day or evening and swear really loudly together, have fun or get the creeps. Just take a look at what's out there, maybe also in the retro games segment. We only say: Mario Kart, Mario Party or laugh together about bizarre Sims ideas!

To be honest: Do you have any nice couple pictures of you or does your collection consist more of embarrassing old party pictures or strangely blurred snapshots? Then you could take some time on Valentine's Day to take really nice pictures of you. Be it at home, perfectly lit with a photo studio set for beginners (available cheaply here at Amazon), in nature with a single-lens reflex camera (+ tripod and self-timer) or quite vintage with a Polaroid camera like this: the main thing is that you have fun on the matter and in the end a great result!

Like now, like always? Exactly not! Because let's be honest: In everyday life you only give each other a fleeting kiss and otherwise a passionate kiss ends in sex. We don't want to devalue the latter at this point, but when was the last time you just really kissed around like teenagers in love without immediately having to undress or your thoughts wandering because the everyday to-dos got in the way? So try to focus on romantic closeness and togetherness and really enjoy it!

We hope that our ideas included something suitable for you and your loved one. Spread the Love!
