So, your relationship with this wonderful person has just begun, and here comes – ta-da! – Valentine's Day is right around the corner!

It's time to decide how to celebrate this day in a way that won't scare each other (and avoid awkward silences). We've prepared several ideas to help you enjoy this day with humor, love, and minimal risk.

1. Exchange quirky gifts

If you haven't figured out what to give yet, why not get creative and choose something that will bring laughter? For instance, a plush heart-shaped toy with the inscription "Love is when you ate the last slice of pizza." Or a strange mug that says "Your ex wouldn't approve of this gift." Yes, it might be a bit cheeky, but that's the whole point!

2. A culinary adventure with a surprise

If you both haven't established a cooking tradition together yet, Valentine's Day is a perfect opportunity for experimentation. Bake something unusual, like a black heart-shaped cake (and don’t forget to take a photo for proof). Bad food with good company is fantastic! And if something goes wrong, you can always laugh together and show off your skills in crisis management.

3. A game of hidden feelings

If romantic dates haven't become your everyday reality yet, why not start with a game? Try playing "Truth or Dare." Since you're just starting your relationship, it can be a rather safe game with questions mostly like "What song would you sing at karaoke?" or "What’s your favorite movie?" Sure, there will be moments when serious answers are required, but who said it’s not worth exploring each other’s tastes?

4. A romantic quest for two

If you want to add a bit of mystery and activity to your day, create a little quest for yourselves. Write riddles for each other that lead to a romantic gift or card. Hidden messages, little secrets, maybe even riddles where you have to guess which series the phrase "Joe doesn't share food!" belongs to. Such an adventure will surely leave pleasant memories and, most importantly, strengthen the bond between you.

5. Confess your love... for chocolate

Not feeling ready for loud declarations of love yet? No worries! Just share a box of chocolates or some delicious sweets. Who says this can't be the cherry on top of your "romantic cake"? Also, if you pick the weirdest types of chocolate (like those with pepper or salt), it will definitely bring both of you joyful surprises.

6. Gift each other "anti-Valentines"

If you want to avoid standard greetings like "You are my other half.", create your own "anti-Valentines." Write sweet but slightly ironic messages, such as: "You are the best person to hang out with on a Friday night." or "You are my personal therapist who agreed to a date." This will surely bring laughter and create a light atmosphere.

7. A romantic Netflix and chill date (literally)

If you don’t want to waste time thinking about where to go and what to do, settle in for a cozy evening together. Choose a few movies, making sure to avoid anything too dramatic (you don’t want to be bombarded with loud declarations right away). Grab a blanket, popcorn, and don’t forget about hot chocolate. The key is to have fun and be comfortable.

8. An evening of questions and answers

Planning to spend Valentine's Day at home? Great! But instead of watching yet another romantic movie, have a question and answer evening: ask each other funny and light-hearted questions about life, habits, and interests. Who knows, you might discover that you actually have a lot in common, and the "funny questions" could turn into something deeper.
