What makes a successful Valentine's Day date? Some prefer simplicity, with rules of no gifts and pared-back plans, while others go all-in with heart-shaped balloons and lavish shows of affection.
However, no matter which one you pick, here’s some things that sit at the intersection of the Valentine’s Venn diagram.
• You really need to put your phone away and just connect with the person you're with. Don’t idly scroll through your phone while at the dinner table. Don’t take snapshots of your food before starting a conservation.
• It’s about being in the moment.
• Just spend time actually talking about each other and allowing yourself to get a little deep. It’s what makes it different from a typical night out, when it’s usually fine to be distracted or get carried away chatting with other people.
