4 Romantic Date Ideas for Valentine’s Day 2021

With all the heart-shaped chocolates, balloons and food re-emerging, conversations revolving around your plans on 14th Feb and constant social media posts talking about their special someone, you might have picked up that Valentine’s day is round the corner. I mean there is no ignoring the not-so-subtle, in your face, hearts in February, right? And while the singles dread this constant bombardment of hearts and some couples remain indifferent, others eagerly look forward to V-day. 

Valentine’s day is essentially a celebration of love and your loved ones. The ones that have been by your side through thick and thin and those who have been with at your best and worst. Hence, Valentine’s is not only limited to someone’s other half, but also anyone that you love! Be it your friends, family or partner, because no one should shy away from expressing their love! 

While the idea of disregarding valentine’s is appealing and that there is no need for a specific day to celebrate love is justifiable, this time, especially with last year abundantly spent on screens rather than in person, maybe it is okay to give in to the idea of valentine’s festivities. In the immortal words of Amy Santiago, “Life is unpredictable, and not everything is in our control, but when you are with the right people, you can handle anything.” Hence, why hold back while celebrating love?
