Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day loads a single February evening with more expectation than almost any other, which is exactly what makes it so easy to get wrong. It matters because the pressure to produce romance on cue lands on every relationship stage differently, from brand-new couples to long partners to people spending it single.

The guidance here is about handling the day whatever your status. Expect help planning a date that fits where a relationship actually is rather than where the adverts insist it should be, choosing a gift that genuinely lands instead of flopping, and taking the pressure off February the fourteenth for everyone involved.
