I JUST Met Her... What Do I Do For Valentines!

This "problem" really affects you regardless of season. You JUST met the person of your dreams, and Christmas is around the corner, or New Years is around the corner, or their Birthday is next weekend... Or *gasp*... Valentines is coming up!

Understandably you may not want to come off with an over the top plan, and instead, try and play it cool. But watch out that you don't play it too cool. If you just met her, you're probably hit with the issue that no restaurant has any available seats. You're also left with the fact that without a neat place to take her to, you're really not sure what to do.

So here is a romantic idea which you can get together last minute, without going through a line of reservation rejection calls. And best of all, it's free! *More or less*

The name of The Date Idea is: Valentines On Wheels
In a nutshell, the two of you will spend Valentines evening in the backseat of your car, with a romantic view as your backdrop, watching a DVD movie on a portable DVD player, cuddled under a warm blanket. Steps to get this date in action are:

  1. Call her up, and tell her to make herself available on the evening of February 14th (This one should be obvious guys)
  2. Take your car to the car wash, get it cleaned both inside and out. Especially the back seat (And no, it's not what you're thinking guys)
  3. Find out from her, what movie (older and not in theaters) she's been dying to see. Or think up of a movie that lines up with her passion and interest. 
  4. Head to Rogers and rent it. Don't do this on the day-of; They may be rented out
  5. Head to the nearest future shop or Best Buy, and pick up a portable DVD player
  6. Try and think of the perfect spot in the city, where you can comfortably park for 2 or so hours with no disturbance. Ideally a spot, with a view as your backdrop
  7. On that magical day, February 14th, call her up, and tell her to dress extremely comfortably, and to not ask any questions
  8. After picking her up, drive up to the "magical spot", ask her to get into the back seat, and close her eyes
  9. As she's waiting in the back, pop out the DVD player, connect it to the car, and pop-in the movie. Prop the player on the front dashboard
  10. Get into the back seat, and ask her to open her eyes. She'll be delighted with the setup.
  11. Sit back with her, get under a warm blanket, and enjoy the show
    1. Optional step: Come prepared with some wine or sparkling water and serve in wine glasses
  12. On February 15th, return the portable DVD player, unless you want to keep it... You didn't hear this from me ;) 
For those of you giving this idea a shot, make sure to take pictures of the setup and view, and send my way so we can share with all. And if you added your own twist, sound off below on what you did to make this inexpensive yet sweet idea, even sweeter than it is!
