If you are just realizing it’s Valentine’s
Day at this very moment, you are most likely in big trouble. But fret
not, here are some last minute suggestions that will save you from falling
victim to the holiday that more people seem to hate then love.
All of these suggestions will give the appearance
that you had things under control at all times and have been preparing
for that special day for weeks. Some of these take no time whatsoever,
while some require a little bit of work, regardless they will leave
your significant other wanting you like they have never wanted you before.

Go see “Snow Day,” instructions
to follow
Now I know you’re thinking “Snow Day?” how is that
going to show them I really love them? Well after you leave the movie,
you’ll need to take them ice skating, call the Community Recreation
Center to find out when public skate times are. On your way there, use
the “Got 10 minutes,” line from the movie you’ll be golden after that.
Now I know you’re thinking, why couldn’t you put
the times in here as well? I’m not the one who was unprepared today
was I? You deserve to do a little work.

Dig a Whale (or your date’s favorite
animal) in the snow
This definitely requires a little bit of time, but
when they get there, their heart will melt. Just hope their favorite
animal isn’t a Zebra, cause that would be no fun at all.
It’s really simple and costs next to nothing, just
grab a shovel and head out to a secluded area and start digging. If
you could get your hands on a snowblower, you might be better off.
Then all you have to do is invite your date out to
the area and when she shows up raise your hands and say, “It’s a whale!”

Build a fort out of blankets and
couch cushions and eat Mac and Cheese in the fort
This one costs next to nothing and is way creative.
Now I know you’ve built a fort out of couch cushions and blankets before,
if you haven’t it’s real easy to figure out.
Then all you have to do is whip up some Mac and Cheese
and invite your significant other over. Once they get there, you have
to sell the, on the idea. Simply tell them that when
you were younger you used to eat Mac and Cheese in your fort with your
imaginary friend. Then go on to explain that they were the most important
person in the world to you and now you want to share that with the most
important person in the world to you now.
You probably should make sure that it is a very sturdy
construction cause after you lay that line on them, it’s make-out city.

Go sledding
Sledding is the best. Go to Old Man Leonard’s Hill,
go on a couple of runs, reenact the snowball fight scene from “Dumb
and Dumber” and then head home for some hot chocolate and some even
hotter making out.

Build a snow man with them
This one is free and has potential for the already
mentioned “Dumb and Dumber,” snowball fight and the whole hot chocolate/
making- out thing.
Use the line, “I’ve never built a snow man before
I’ve been waiting for someone special and that most definitely is you.”

Purpose to them
This is rather expensive unless you use the “gumball
machine ring” or ring pop. This really isn’t a good idea unless you
really want to marry the person.
Otherwise use another idea.

Make a collage of something meaningful
This requires some time and a little bit of cash,
but as long as you get creative with the content (example: “this car
is reminiscent of the first time we met on that busy street”) you’ll
be fine.
