Amidst the sensual snowy atmosphere, all members of the Columbia community are beginning to stir in anticipation of Valentine’s Day. Now is the time that traditional and modern romantics alike rack their brains for date ideas that will raise their partners’ expectations for the remainder of the ambiguous-labeled relationship. Here at The Fed, we believe that true love is represented not by how much chocolate you buy or the sincerity of a handwritten note, but how irreplicable your Valentine’s Day date plans are. But fear not, young lovers! Below are three ideas for never-been-done-before dates that will be sure to show your true affection and appreciation for that special someone. 

  1. Group guided tour of the Tenement Museum: there is nothing more romantic than sexual tension that brews amongst a large crowd. In this dark, damp, cramped space, you will be transported back to the good old days. Add in the ambiance of 19th century architecture and tattered cotton dresses, what could be better? 
  2. Watch me scroll through my entire camera roll: Any time of day, over dinner, over drinks, in bed, in the library, on the bus, this is sure to keep your partner one hundred percent engaged for hours on end, and will have as much fun as you are. 
  3. Diana bowls in the Dodge sauna: Eat the bowl you crave with an excuse to have the meat sweats. Minimal clothing and warm sour cream, what more could you ask for?
