How New Couples Can Celebrate Valentine’S Day Without Going Overboard

It has been just a few days of knowing each other and with Valentine’s Day beckoning round the corner, you are not sure how to go about it. Do you go the whole hog and celebrate it with full gusto or do you take it easy and keep it to exchanging a few sweet nothings? These questions are bound to pop up in the mind of even a very confident dater if things are at a nascent stage and understandably quite ‘delicate’. You need to approach this red-hearted holiday very carefully so that at the end of the day you can leave your partner all smiles and your fledgling relationship unscathed and if possible stronger.

Be decisive          

Yes, don’t leave things unsaid and unplanned. Leaving it to chance or springing a surprise on your partner is something just not done in this case. You have to lay out your cards well in advance so that you don’t leave your partner with hurt feelings or those of utter discomfort. If you go out on date with a person just before Valentine’s Day, discuss the plans for the approaching day with him or her. Yes, the conversation might veer towards awkward zones, but here’s how you can stop it from doing so:

• Light and funny approach is always the safest track to resort to. Joke about the trivial but fun things that you can do during the holiday like going out for a movie or meeting over lunch.

• Try to get the other person’s ideas on Valentine’s Day. Some people despise the whole concept of earmarking a day for love and celebrating it – check out if your partner thinks on the similar lines.

• Discuss the problem openly – the fact that you have been dating only for a short period of time and now you are faced with the prospect of celebrating this very romantic holiday. Be honest about how bizarre it feels when you are about to embark on a relationship even as you find other couples shouting their feelings from the rooftops. Let the other person know that even you too are not very comfy with the idea of celebrating it in a mushy way with poems and love songs. 

Figure out what you want

You might want to approach this day like a normal holiday and not do anything out of the way like exchanging gifts or cards or going out for dinner. Take into consideration the other person’s feelings too. You might be feeling like going out on a dinner date but your partner might be feeling quite a bit uncomfortable about it. In that case, drop the plan – otherwise, you might scare the other person with your over enthusiasm.

Plan it out if you want to go ahead

As we mentioned before, it is best to keep the surprise factor out of the equation unless you are absolutely sure about how the relationship is going. However, you can always celebrate it in your own way without going overboard. Here are a few pointers.

• Gifts form a very important aspect of Valentine day and can range from expensive jewelry to lovey-dovey cards. While a couple who has been in a relationship for quite a few years now would know quite a bit about each other’s preferences, newbies are likely to be at a disadvantage. Instead of taking wild guesses, just figure out what kinds of gifts it is appropriate to exchange and more importantly, how you would like to and afford to spend. There should be parity between both of your budget – it would be awkward if one spend hundreds of dollars on a bouquet of red roses and the other picks up a $ 10 card. Treat it just like any other day – don’t go overboard!

•  Figure out the time and place for the exchange of the gifts. Otherwise, chances are you will be caught unawares and left blushing like a peony when a huge bouquet is delivered to your workplace. For those with a more adventurous streak, any time, date or place is fine as long as it is feasible for both the parties.

If you can’t decide how to approach the day, take a break so as to avoid any misunderstanding. And don’t read too much into the gifts or messages – getting swept in romance is a natural reaction but may be not a prudent one when you are into a new relationship. Wish you Happy Valentine ’S Day 2019.
