People Are Sharing Some Of The Sweetest Valentine's Day Dates They've Been On That Still Have Them In Their Feels
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the best Valentine's Day date they've ever been on. Here are some of the cutest stories:
To start, this chance meeting that ended up being love at first sight:
"I was the general manager of an auto service shop in Denver. The most beautiful woman I've ever seen came into the shop for service. We flirted and joked while her car was being serviced, and then she paid and left.
About 30 minutes later she called the shop and asked me out. We both agreed that the upcoming Sunday was good since we were both off work, not realizing that it was Valentine’s Day 2016.
We're celebrating seven years together now. We have a daughter, and I could've never imagined a life this amazing for myself."
This sweet mom-and-daughter moment:
"It was sophomore year of college and I was beyond stressed about upcoming midterms.
I told my mom the night before, and on Valentine's Day she surprised me by driving three hours to take me out to lunch and delivering chocolate-covered strawberries she made for me. I smile every time I think about that day."
This Netflix and chill evening with a side of burgers:
"It was the simplest date.
We thought [about] what we wanted to do for a long time and where we wanted to go. We were a gay couple living in a pretty religious city, but decided to just say 'fuck it' and ordered burgers and watched several hours of Supernatural. It was amazing."
This not-so-average Valentine's Day date that still gave all the butterflies:
"We were sunbathing and having a picnic [with] a matching mat. He had to go because of [an] emergency at work. I packed up and [went] home. He called me at 8 p.m. to apologize and asked if I wanted dinner. It was difficult to get a table on Valentine's Day without [a] reservation.
We went to a restaurant that looked run down. We were chatting and making stupid jokes, and suddenly he pointed out that we were the only happy couple in the place. All the other women looked grumpy. After all, this place was the absolute opposite of romantic.
It was my best Valentine's Day because I knew at that moment I loved him not because of what he did/had, I loved him the way he was."
This skating lesson that went above and beyond:
"[My] then-boyfriend insisted on celebrating Valentine's Day. So I got him an expensive office chair because I'm practical and it's useful. Valentine's Day comes and he tells me we have to go to the mall to grab my present. I'm annoyed. I didn't care for this day already and now he didn't even get the gift. He walks into different stores trying to be cute. Could my gift be here?! Then we walk into a sports store. I'm over it. He tries to get me to test out hockey sticks and then takes me to the back of the store.
He tells me he remembered that I wanted to learn how to skate and he wanted to buy me skates, but because skates are so size specific he had to take me. The hockey stick was to help me learn, and that night for our date he rented an outdoor rink to teach me under the stars.
I married him and we still have the office chair."
This too-cute-for-words prom proposal:
"The Valentine’s Day junior year of high school, my boyfriend asked me to prom, got me roses, had candles, chocolate covered strawberries and we watched Les Misérables."
This romantic Parisian outing:
"It was my first time visiting Paris, and I met a really cute French guy there during a concert. He asked me out, and I said yes.
I was expecting something casual, but he took me to a rooftop with an amazing view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. He prepared this amazing picnic with a bunch of homemade food. We watched the sunset and talked for over seven hours. It was the most memorable date I've ever been on."

"In third grade, Eric Ryder invited me over for Hot Pockets, Capri Sun, and Toaster Strudel for dessert. He gave me a Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker for my valentine's gift. A high bar was set that day."
And finally, this rom-com movie marathon when you become your own valentine:

"I went to CVS, got some yummy chocolates, all my fave blankets, and settled on the couch for a fun afternoon of rom-coms. Best Day Ever. Oh yeah, there was also ice cream."
