Valentine’s Day is a special day for most couples, but it’s also very easy to screw up. Many couples use this occasion to go down on one knee and pop the big question. That is one of the most cliched things to do on Valentine’s Day. It’s also a classic way to ruin the day. What if your partner says no? What if they just aren’t ready for marriage? So, to avoid any pain and embarrassment, here are a few other exciting Valentine’s Day ideas to make the day memorable, besides popping the question.

1. Golf and lunch date
