In honor of Valentine’s Day, 2/14, here are 14 popular activities for 2 people falling in love:
1) Streak the Colonnade after going out
So, both of you live in doubles and you need to find a place. Well, there is nothing more romantic than a night walk from Red Square through the Colonnade. You can make out in a tree, wander into the chapel, and let loose by streaking.
2) Spike mocktails
A romantic HV, but of course you would never…
3) Take a break from social media
Valentine’s Day is about being grateful for people you love, and there’s absolutely no reason you need to post about it on Instagram or wherever. Telling them in person is enough.
4) Thirst on Fizz
I mean, it’s not like it happens every other day of the year so…
5) Relax
Absolutely nothing will go wrong. There may be an epidemic of breakups, but you’ve already had Covid so you’ll be fine. Zero mind games, you’ll know exactly what to say right when you need to say it. No point in being stressed or feeling pressure: just take the W.
6) Throw away Candy-Grams
Bad candy, bad poetry (probably plagiarized), but you love them anyway. They never need to know.
7) Cosplay as Washington and Lee
Sorry, the Travis and Taylor costumes are all sold out.
8) Share your new AirPods at the Gym
One for each of you, listening to the same music, aligning your heartbeats. No human contact required.
9) Tell your partner that love actually comes from chemical reactions in the brain
Yeah, and you don’t seem to have one. Negative rizz.
10) Double dating
Comparison is NOT the theft of happiness. What’s wrong with a little friendly competition?
11) Buy your partner roses
Now, be careful about choosing the color. Red means you don’t know their favorite color, white means you are obsessed with the Hunger Games, and pink is a veiled hint that you wanna mix it up.
12) Make out like there’s no tomorrow
Until you realize it’s already past midnight and it’s 2/15. (Well, technically, it’s never tomorrow because it’s a relative way of measuring time but hopefully you’re making out instead of reading this anyway).
13) Read the Kama Sutra
Wait, already did that in book club, oops. But wouldn’t it be so funny if our next president got sworn in with that?
14) Lie, Cheat, and Steal
Say I love you, thirst for their roommate, then regurgitate mid song lyrics with a doe-eyed face
