It is that time of year again. One of the most stereotypical holidays, the day where most people go crazy over their significant other or they go crazy trying to find one, Valentine’s day.
The day where people express their love for one another through choc- olates, flowers, hugs, kisses and a few private things. One thing that most people do on Valentine’s day is go out to dinner. But this also brings stress for newer couples. The first Valentine’s day date for new couples can be stressful. There is always the pre-date thoughts of what restaurant to go to, who pays for the bill, should one go to an expensive restaurant or a casual restaurant, what to talk about over dinner, whether or not to order drinks and what happens after dinner.
Valentine’s day dinners can be a stressful night for many new couples but it does not have to be.
Here are a few tips from Match.com that can make the decision on where to eat a little easier. First, go to a place that is enjoyable. Do not go all out at a new restaurant that is unfamiliar, one may not like the style of food or the service and at the end of the night, money ends up being wasted on a terrible meal. Make sure the place is in a good price range-do not splurge. It can be embarrassing if the bill comes and it is too expensive.
Also, make sure to make reservations. An awkward moment is when one goes to the hostess, says their name and party and there are no tables available.
Lastly, just relax. People can tell if someone is stressed around them, so just keep cool. If it is early in a relationship, odds are that something awkward will happen, just laugh about it and keep it light hearted.
