Valentine's Day the Gay Way: Dating Ideas

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! Whether you have been in a relationship for a long time or you are brand new in the dating stage with your boo, this day can bring a lot of anxiety. What's a gay to do for date night? A fancy dinner at a restaurant and roses? Thrilling. The straights have their stamp all over that; we can be more imaginative than that. Also, this year's economy hasn't been kind of many of us, so what are we supposed to do on a budget? Here are some fun Valentine's Day ideas to add to your choices.

Bring It Home

A fancy dinner out isn't the worst thing. But you are dealing with crowds, rushed waiters, and a lot of noise. Make it simple and bring it home. Order from your boo's favorite restaurant, but bring it home. If you never use that fancy china or sit at the dining room table (because, TV trays at the sofa), now is the time to break out the candlesticks and get a little fancy at home. You can dress up to impress your boo...or, dress down. Dinner in a jockstrap? Sexy! Put on some sexy music, put the phones away, and enjoy a meal at home. This also works with Panda Express out of the styrofoam on a blanket in the living room...or in bed. Whatever level you want to bring it to, just bring it home. Focus on your boo...and for dessert, hot sex.

Morning Glory

There is so much emphasis on Valentine's Day dinner and evening activities. Mix it up. Start in the morning. Do breakfast in bed, have the hottest morning sex, take a shower together, then head out and go to a museum, go on a hike, go wine tasting, go for a long drive, check out those places you've always wanted to go to, go shopping...whatever it is, just get out in the day and spend it together. That eases the pressure of evening time stuff and makes it more relaxing. Spend the evening having another round of sex.

Kink It Up

Is sex with your boo good, but ordinary? Valentine's Day is your chance to get out of the routine. Go to your local naughty sex shop and get yourself some hot sex toys, lubes, harnesses, whips, the whole lot. Want to really go all out? Get a portable sling and surprise your man with it in the bedroom. Through all restrictions out the window and try some sexy positions and sex acts that you haven't done before. Start the day by sending your man filthy, naughty sex texts. Send him dick pics. Get him riled up and horny. Throw romance out the window and get down and dirty.

Make It Lazy

Let's face it, the world has been crazy, and we are all tired. What if instead of you and your man trying to impress each other, you just threw all the pressure out and just cocooned for the day? Turn off the phones, shut off the computers, put away the iPads, and just veg on the couch watching bad TV, your favorite movies, or porn. Don't plan anything but being lazy. Order some junk food, and just relax. Don't even push having sex. Just enjoy each other's company and get a reboot in your busy life as a couple.

Pamper Yourselves

Instead of both you and your man putting out a lot of energy on Valentine's Day, let someone else do it. Pool your money together with your man and head to a spa. Either make it a local spa day and sign up for every couple's service, or check into a hotel with a great spa service, or take a mini vacation and head to a spa spot. Let both of you bask in being pampered from head to toe, without having to lift a finger.

Whatever you do, just break out of your routine. You don't need to break the bank; you just need to be imaginative. Stay away from the mainstream Valentine's Day tropes for dating. You're more creative than that! Valentine's Day should be enjoyed, not filled with pressure. If all ideas fail, just call in an escort and have a hot threesome. LOL!
