Valentine’s Day is here, and planning dates are on a lot of people’s mind. However, planning the perfect date for a significant other can be stressful. Thankfully, there are many routes one can take to plan the perfect date.

If you are one to follow traditions and go the more classic route then dinner and dessert is always a solid choice. Senior Colleen Morrison recommends Koblé, a greek grill in Uptown Westerville. ¨The food is great and there are so many options to choose from,” Morrison said. 

Following dinner, there are many dessert options in Uptown to choose from like getting fresh, warm donuts at Schinders or a nice cool Whitzer from Whit’s.  Either one, you will be satisfied. 

For a more crafty couple, Color Me Mine is the perfect option. Color Me Mine is a pottery studio where you can go and paint your own ceramics. It is a fun and inexpensive date located in Dublin. 

Senior Maggie Yost said it was a super fun way to get to know her significant other, and it was cool to see their creative side. 

If you’re a couple that enjoys trying new things and cooking, then making your own Sushi Rolls is the way to go. There are many at-home sushi kits available at stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. Making your own sushi rolls is also a Covid friendly date and saves everyone money. 

Another Covid friendly date is Car Karaoke. Driving around Westerville and jamming out to you and your partner’s favorite songs is always a fun time and is free.

For a competitive couple, Scene75 Entertainment is the perfect place for you. Scene75 is an arcade filled with many different games and competitions that would pin you and your partner up against each other. 

Tickets to enter are $15 and many think it is worth every cent. Senior Brenda Light said it was a great experience. 

“It was so much fun, I would totally recommend it for people who are competitive and like to be up and active,” Light said.

Whether you have more in your budget or less, there are many ways to enjoy time with your significant other.
