Stores are stocked with reds, pinks and seemingly endless amounts of chocolate - the day of love is right around the corner. February 14 is a time to celebrate love and affection, but many men struggle with the concept of this lady-loved holiday. While some men know exactly how to get it right, they can be difficult to find. Maybe all your man needs this year are some tips on how to give you the Valentine's day you deserve. The day tends to come with a lot of expectations, so why not give him a few ideas so he can get date night right?

Dine-In Restaurants can be packed with people on the evening of February 14, and if you and your man don't like to plan, you may be stuck with a long wait. Nothing can kill the mood quite like rumbling tummies. Skip the long lines, pick up a couple of candles and create a romantic moment in the comfort of your own home. The two of you can bond and enjoy making a delicious dinner together.

Horse and Carriage Ride

You've enviously watched movies as countless stars enjoy a romantic carriage ride through a park. There is no need for these moments to exist solely on the silver screen - you can make this fairy tale date your reality this year. Bundle up with your sweetheart as you enjoy the ride.

Love Above the Clouds

If money isn't a going to hold you back from your romantic outings this year, why not go on an adventure in the sky? Helicopter rides can be a unique moment that you and your lover can share. The experience could be one that you'll always remember.

Take to the Ice

Even if you're not an experienced skater this can be a significant activity to do with your beau. Maybe he's a pro on the ice, perhaps not - either way, it can be an exciting and unique activity. Put on your warmest clothes and have fun trying new things and making memories.

Each couple has a different activity that will be perfect for them on this romantic occasion. If your man still needs an idea, don't let him forget about simple gestures like a bouquet of flowers. A ProFlowers promotion code might be beneficial before February 14.
