Valentine's Dates for People Who Hate Valentine's Day

Some people really hate Valentine's day, but here are a few ideas that won't make you feel like you're buying into this commercialized day of love. Take it from a girl who's done all these things recently.

Go on a date to a really casual burger place, or taco place if you prefer. Nothing fancy, the closer to fast food style the better. Maybe not quite McDonald's, but a 5 Guys Burgers and Fries would be ideal.

Feel like date night in? Have a 50 shades of grey evening. Dinner and wine in bed with that movie will not disappoint. I'm sorry but I'm not going to spell this one out for you... My mom reads this.

Maybe you want to go out but not for dinner? Put some Bailey's and hot chocolate in a travel mug and go for a walk along the seawall, or your neighborhood. Mmmm!

Feel like getting a little silly? Pick 5 dive bars and have one drink and one shot at each.

Shot of choice: Pickle backs. Do it.

Go to a fitness class together, something sweaty like hot yoga or spin. Maybe grab a bottle of wine on the way home or something?

Relax in a hot soapy bubble bath with some music and, you guessed it, a bottle of wine.

See? Painless, and oh so basic. Happy Valentine's planning!
