Valentine’s Day is one day of the year that should be spent with a loved one alone. We all know that two’s company and three’s a crowd. So no matter how sorry you feel for your single friend, don’t bring them along to your date night. This is only going to infuriate your partner and leave you in the doghouse for quite some time.

3. Don’t get drunk

We’ve all been there, so desperate to impress someone that we have a few drinks for Dutch courage before the actual date.

This is not a good idea, as it is likely that you will end up getting drunk and talking nonsense and making a fool out of yourself.

If you’re thinking about dumping your partner, then don’t do it on Valentine’s Day. That memory will live with them forever. So get your timing right. A couple of days before isn’t good either as they more than likely have already started making plans. This rule can also be applied to other big celebrations such as birthdays.
