5 date ideas for Valentine’s day

Behold: Valentine’s Day is upon us once again. Don’t be stale and just take your date out to dinner or buy them chocolates – here are a few ideas that’ll knock their socks off.

 

Boxing

I don’t mean going to a boxing match or play-fighting in the living room. Go to a local gym, climb into the boxing ring and (lovingly) duke it out.

I know you remember when your significant other forgot to wash the dishes that one time three months and eight days ago; a quick right-hook can be very cathartic. Getting out your frustration for one another is healthy for your relationship … so what could be better than squaring up and breaking a sweat?

Make sure your date is up for it first, of course … and don’t hit them too hard.

 

Have a threesome or an orgy

If you want to spice up your sex game, try adding a few extra players. Invite some friends over (or put out a notice to strangers on Craigslist), set some ground rules and let your instincts run wild.

Don’t forget to get consent from everyone, and use protection. A safeword might not be a bad idea either in case things get a bit too hectic (pineapples, anyone?).

 

Naked Skydiving

Unsurprisingly, this has been done many times before. If you and your partner are thrill-seekers, skydiving is a great way to get your adrenaline pumping, so why not try freefalling from 12,000 feet as nature intended?

You should be sure to get permission from the business beforehand – please don’t just show up there naked – but if your relationship needs an extra spark, this is bound to bring you both closer together … literally.

 

Get tattoos together

This is quite common, but here’s a twist: let your date choose your tattoo and you choose theirs, no questions asked. Assuming neither you nor your date is Satan, you’ll both get some nice, personalized tattoos to show off to the world.

 

Paintball

Speaking of tattoos, nothing says “I love you” like giving your date some new, full-body ink full of reds, blues and yellows. If you are considering laser tag, why not go one step further? Find a venue, rent or purchase the required gear and paint ‘em up. If painting your S.O.’s face green isn’t your thing, team up and wreak havoc on others in the park.
