DON’T: Buy her a card.

Cards are solely reserved for partners, friends and family. Buying her a Valentine’s Day card will likely creep her out, as there are no cards designed to be given to someone on a Valentine’s Day first date – unless you find one with a message on it that reads “To the immensely creeped out girl sitting opposite me in this bar, who is wondering whether or not I think that we’re now an item because I asked her to go on one date with me and now I’ve bought her a card like we’re f***ing engaged or something”.

DO: Capitalize on the special day.

It’s Valentine’s Day, so assuming that the date went well and you didn’t vomit on her shoes out of nervousness or anything, then this is the point where you can likely capitalize on the fact that you’re both together on the Most Romantic Day of the Year and go in for a kiss. Obviously, you still have to read some signs here to know whether or not you’re going to be awkwardly rejected when you do, so don’t come crying to us if you wind up being publicly humiliated/pepper sprayed.

DON’T: Go overboard.

Love is in the air, but it definitely won’t be in your future if you find yourself becoming too swept up in the Valentine’s Day spirit, have one too many drinks and decide to pledge your undying love to her.
