After New Year’s, Valentine’s Day is the first major celebrated Holiday of every new year. This, what once was more religiously related, has become a must for those betrothed (or about to be), defining, redefining, affirming, translating, demonstrating, crying…and let’s not forget, singing.
So, get those flowers and book that last-minute dinner reservation and prepare for love.
So, you are at a loss as to what to do for your significant other this year? Fear not, The Amazing Waiters have a few ideas for you clueless guys out there.
- Secure a fabulous bottle of wine (we assume you’re both 21, okay?), complete with two nice wine glasses (glass being the operative word) appropriate for white or red. Look here if you don’t know which glass goes to which…Remember, you’re not in college anymore.
- Get something personal and small. How about an old fashioned thing…a CD of something timeless, Jazz, like Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane…etc. No pop or current stuff. Go Classic or Classical.
- Flowers: since we mentioned it earlier. A couple of TAW rules. 1. Make sure she’s not allergic to flowers. 2. Hopefully, you’ve paid attention and asked or found out what she loves.
- A personal note/card, written on nice stationary in your own handwriting…state what you feel. Keep it simple and classy. A little will go a long long way here.
- How about an indoor picnic? We know, unlike California, you cannot go out side and do this (if you are not in southern CA) in February. Indoor picnic meaning get the gear out, in front of the fireplace, the wine (see above) the crackers (you don’t want to get sloshed too early) and perhaps a video of the beach or a summer meadow looping on the TV screen-kitschy but not trashy.
- You could have a friend or a professional chef come to your home and make a romantic dinner. Yeah. Some of your friends may not want to do this…hire it done.
- Fly to France for dinner.
Wishing you a great Valentine’s Day.
Here are the lyrics to MY FUNNY VALENTINE by Rodgers and Hart:
My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, UN-photograph-able
Yet, you’re my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak are you smart?
But, don’t change a hair for me, not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay, each day is valentine’s day
Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak are you smart?
But, don’t change a hair for me, not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay, each day is valentine’s day
