In an ordinary world, couples are now busy planning their perfect date for the upcoming most romantic day of the year. But since we are celebrating Valentine's Day 2021, couples are also gearing up to embrace the "new normal" when it comes to romantic date nights.
Dining in a five-star restaurant, going on an adventure trip, hitting the beach, or checking in a hotel. These are just some of the many options that we have back in the days to celebrate Valentine's Day.
But no COVID-19 pandemic should stop us from feeling the love on February 14th. Below are some coronavirus-friendly date night ideas you can do while staying safe at home and without compromising anyone's health.
First Date Throwback
Do you still remember your first date? Why not stage that particular moment by bringing the outdoor experience at the comforts of your home. Try recreating that magical day by cooking the same food you ordered, wearing the same clothes if possible, and making an extra effort to decorate the room to unleash the first date vibe. Nothing beats taking a trip down memory lane and reminisce the spark and butterflies you felt during that first glance, first laugh together, and even your first kiss. Yay!
Home Spa Treat
Instead of booking a home service with your favorite masseuse and risk yourself from contracting COVID-19, why not take turns and massage each other? If you are reluctant to put pressure on your partner's body, enroll in an online massage class or watch tutorial videos online so you can hit the right spot.
Stage the perfect home spa date night, set the mood by changing your sheet, prepare the perfect oil, light some candles, and play some relaxing music. Ease your partner's stress by paying attention to their shoulder blade, toes, and head.
Netflix and Chill
Since movie theatres are closed, why not bring the cinema at home. While Netflix and chill is something couples can do even if it's not February 14th, make Valentine's Day 2021 more special by creating a list of your favorite movies or rewatch the films you've seen during your past special dates.
Make a sacred date night by preparing special snacks, mix up cocktails, and agree not to use phones the entire evening and enjoy each other's company.
Watch a Virtual Concert of Comedy Show
If you're the type of couple who loves seeing your favorite band or comedians perform live, why not purchase a ticket to their online show? If there's none, you can still stream your favorite artists' concerts on YouTube. Netflix also has a ton of comedy specials that you can choose from.
Host a Virtual Valentines Day Party
Love hanging out with friends and other couples? Then initiate a virtual Valentine's Date party where you can chat and catch up with each other's quarantine life. Be creative by imposing a dress up or decorating your background. Make the online group date fun by playing virtual charades or a drinking game via Zoom.
