Valentines Day dates for $10 or less

NORWELL, MA…

Just because we’re stuck in the middle of a recession, doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. In fact, there are many ways to celebrate this lover’s holiday without breaking the bank. And according to love expert Paul Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating–one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide—many of those date ideas for Valentine’s Day won’t even require a trip to the ATM.

“Sure, the economy could be in better shape. But should that really matter when you’re sharing Valentine’s Day with someone you care about? We all know the answer to that one. Of course not,” said Falzone. “When it comes to Valentine’s Day, if people start to think with their hearts and not their wallets, they’ll discover a world of possibilities for romantic Valentine’s Day dates.”

For example:

  • Sunrise or sunset trip to the park or another location where you can snuggle up on a bench with comforter and hot chocolate to watch the sun come up or down.
  • Laundry date: Trip to the local laundromat; clothes have got to be cleaned anyway. Bring a picnic basket. Sharing washers and dryers recoups any expenses.
  • Attend a poetry reading at your local library or bookstore, many of which are free—save the price of any lattes or coffees. Your local newspaper’s calendar section should have the info. Better yet, find your favorite poem, dress in a black turtle neck, buy some instant espresso from the grocery store and host your own poetry reading.
  • Netflix chick flick movie marathon – Get a trial Netflix membership and rent all the chick flick/Valentine’s Day classics (An Affair to Remember, It Happened One Night, Casablanca). 
  • Valentine’s Day pot luck – Share your Valentine’s Day meal with two or three other couples with each bringing a dish.
  • Sledding (not just for kids)
  • Ice skating (some outdoor and indoor rinks are less than $5 per person if you have your own skates)

“When we were kids, Valentine’s Day meant cut-out hearts that you snuck into the locker of the person you had the crush on. We lost track of that ‘it’s the thought that counts’ approach to the day. Frankly, when it comes to Valentine’s Day, the only bottom line that really counts is that you’re with the one you love,” said Falzone.

Can’t buy me love…Valentine’s Day in a recession.

NORWELL, MA…

With Valentine’s Day coming in the not-so-distant future, many recession-strapped Valentines are wondering what they can do for their sweetie this year. Especially since fancy dinners at five-star restaurants, bouquets of flowers and treating your Valentine to a day of pampering at spa aren’t exactly in a lot of people’s budgets these days.

Still, according to love expert Paul Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating–one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide–just because times might be tough, it doesn’t mean romance must suffer.

“Valentine’s Day is about love and romance. Somehow that got twisted into how much you spend. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s truly the thought that counts. And if the economy has made people stop and really put some thought into the little things they can do for that special someone in their life on Valentine’s Day, they’re going to be pleasantly surprised both with how little it costs and the results,” says Falzone.

Here are some budget-friendly, thoughtful gestures you might want to try this Valentine’s Day:

  • Leave a “racy” picture on your mate’s cell phone.
  • Text a romantic message at a time of day when you know things get rather hectic and your sweetie could use a pick-me-up.
  • Leave a chocolate or single rose on your Valentine’s pillow.
  • Use a bar of soap to draft a love note on your bathroom mirror.
  • Eat in for Valentine’s day with candles providing the only light. Better yet, spread out a blanket and have your meal as a picnic on the living room floor—even better if you have a fireplace.
  • Instead of a day at the spa, take turns giving each other back rubs.
  • Have a glass of your loved one’s favorite drink ready and waiting for them when they get home. If your loved one likes beer or wine, serve it in a frosted glass—unless they prefer it warm.
  •  Celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 13 or 15 to make it “your holiday” and not one shared with the rest of the world.
  • Pick one household chore your Valentine usually does and surprise them by doing it before they get a chance to (e.g. making the bed). It may not sound romantic, but the thought will most certainly count.

“You know, you keep hearing about the doom and gloom of today’s economy, but it actually presents a lot of opportunities. One is to show the person you love how much by using your imagination and not your checkbook. And that, my friends, is the secret to making Valentine’s Day one he or she will always remember,” said Falzone.

New Year, New Approach to Dating

BALTIMORE, MD AND NORWELL, MA…

Another holiday spent solo while everyone else seems to have a significant other?  Even though you may not have trouble finding a date, has finding a date that turns into a lasting relationship always eluded you?  If so, you are in the same boat as many singles today.  The real question is…How do you turn things around and build a successful relationship?

If you are among the singles out there that keep ending up with the wrong one, Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide, has a few tips to help you out of your dating rut and create a fresh approach to dating in the new year.

“Dating is a lot like when you learned to ride a bike when you were a kid. Sure, you fell off the bike a time or two, but you kept getting back on, never forgetting what made you fall off. Fortunately with dating, you have the benefit of learning from others how not to fall the next time,” said Falzone.

So, how do you begin the new year with a fresh outlook on dating? Here are some tips for finding the right one in the new year:

  • Take a look at your past relationships.  Although you may not have a “type”, did each relationship have something in common?  Do you choose partners based on how they make you feel (important in front of your friends, needed, over-protected, etc.)?
  • Leave enough time between the end of one relationship and the beginning of the next.  When a relationship ends on a bad note, it is normal to seek the attention of another, but be sure your wounds are healed first.
  • Consider a dating hiatus.  What you really might need is “you” time.  Focus on yourself for three to six months before getting back to dating.  Try boosting your self-esteem without a partner.  Find new people to spend time with or new hobbies to enjoy.  This may help you adopt a fresh attitude towards relationships.
  • Give new relationships proper time to develop.  Enjoy each phase as it comes and do not rush it.  Approach each date as a chance to have fun and evaluate the true person.
  • Long-term relationship lagging?  If you are in a long-term relationship that is breaking down due to major life changes or lack of romance, make time to nurture the partnership.  Do not sweep problems under the carpet.  Bring them to the forefront and do not be afraid to confront one another.  Professionals agree that arguing is often the first sign that a bond is improving.  Without this open communication, not only do the issues persist, but feelings eventually go dead and you are left with a lifeless relationship.
