Planning the perfect Valentine's Day date can be beyond stressful.
Ideally, the formula for a successful Valentine's Day consists of a nice mixture of romance, delicious food and a few clichés -- chocolate, flowers and a card perhaps.
All of this seems like a perfect idea until Feb. 14 starts getting closer and closer. CVS runs out of heart shaped chocolate boxes, restaurants are booked because you waited too long to make a reservation -- in fact, the thought of taking your date out to dinner starts to feel completely and utterly unoriginal.
Assuming you're looking to switch things up this year and really knock the socks off of your valentine, we asked some romantics at Mashable to describe their dream dates. Hopefully this list will help you have the most magical Valentine's Day of your life.
