1. Leave the space for surprises but discuss the expectations

The first thing to do is talk a little bit about your expectations. This does not mean that you need to give specific instructions, but you can ask how your partner usually celebrates this holiday, what he/she likes or what it should be avoided. This conversation will help to avoid misunderstandings and make the day more comfortable for both.

I usually ask, "What's the best thing for you this day?" or "How do you want to spend Valentine's Day?" This allows you to understand whether he wants a big celebration, or maybe a good evening at home.

2. Don't be afraid to be yourself

Although it is a holiday, it is important to stay yourself. If you do not know each other very well, do not try to hit your partner with grand gestures or expensive gifts. Be honest and open in your emotions.

I love to ask my partner how he wants to celebrate to fit it into our interests. Simple and warm moments can be much better than a big show.

3. Consider a gift taking into account the interests of a partner

The first Valentine's Day gift with a new partner does not have to be expensive, but it should be special. Best if it is something that takes into account the interests of your partner. It may be a book that he has long wanted to read, or cute little things that can evoke pleasant emotions.

I always try to give something personalized - a small gift that shows that I paid attention and listened to what he said before.

4. Create an atmosphere of romance

It is not necessary to prepare a whole festive event, but to create a romantic atmosphere is important. Soft lighting, candles, beautiful plaid for comfort, aromatic food-all this will help to make the atmosphere truly special.

Sometimes I even cook dinner at home instead of going to the restaurant, and it gives more space for open conversations and closeness. You can also make a playlist of favorite songs - music will definitely create the right mood.

5. Prepare for emotional communication

Valentine's first day can be a great opportunity to strengthen emotional connection. Be open to talk about feelings, dreams and plans for the future. This does not mean that you need to pour the whole soul on your partner, but this day can actually help you understand each other better.

I like when we discuss when the celebration, we each feel, what our hopes for our relationship and how we want to develop together. It always opens new horizons.

6. Don't forget the details

Valentine's Day is not only about romantic moments, but also about small details. Funny greetings, small compliments or casual embrace - all this creates an atmosphere of care and attention to the partner.

Sometimes even a simple note on his pillow or sms on the phone can make the day even more enjoyable.

Valentine's first day is a great opportunity not only for romance, but also for the development of emotional closeness with a new partner. The main thing is not to treat him as a test, but simply enjoy the moments you are experiencing together. More open and honest communication will help make this day really unforgettable.

Your attention to detail and sincere feelings is the best gift for your partner on this day!
