There’s no special sauce that makes February 14 inherently more romantic than any other day, but in its current iteration, there are certainly ingredients that bring the sexy quotient way down, claire_lampen explains
Emptiness is the key to romance. Photo: sammyvision/Getty Images I once came across a highly detailed date itinerary, specially printed on pink paper with a red heart border, that had been abandoned at a bar. Because of the aesthetic choices, I believe the schedule outlined a perfect Valentine’s Day, one with carefully calibrated pit stops for brunch, a “XXX” shower, music lessons — a time-stamped agenda, each activity relegated to roughly an hour, no room for spontaneity.
It doesn’t need to be this way, though — not if you accept my humble proposal to do Valentine’s the day before. Because even if you accept Valentine’s Day as a time to celebrate people you like by buying them lots of saccharine nonsense as a full 24 hours of active partner appreciation, then you probably also have to admit that it doesn’t matter when you choose to do it. The date itself is arbitrary.
