Express how you feel about Valentine’s Day, and find out how he/she feels. You don’t have to go in blind, hoping your plans will be received well. Prepare by simply having a conversation.

You don’t want to scare off someone new, so don’t go too big. Diamond earrings, a giant teddy bear, and Godiva chocolates aren’t necessary. Opt for a thoughtful card or flowers instead.
