Valentine’s Day is here! And it’s enough pressure for long-term couples.
But if you’re in a very new relationship, how to handle February 14 can become a mind-boggling conundrum.
Fortunately, you don’t need to drop the L-bomb before its proper time. Nor do you have to write multiple paragraphs in a gushing card if you’ve only been on a few dates.
The best thing to do, according to a fair few dating experts and common sense, is to clear the air and chat to your new love interest about whether you celebrate the day.
But if you want to keep things as casual as possible without a ‘where is this going?’ talk – a good alternative is a gentle nod to the day, with a simple text, card, flowers, or chocolates.
Opting for the latter? Here are a few ideas for sweet, sincere, naughty or just plain silly things to say.
