The Article:
"The spendy champagne. The foie gras atop another dish you canβt pronounce. The high-tech dry-ice seafood. Is it all necessary to get the girl? Ryan Jaunzemis doesnβt think so. βGuys always think theyβre original with the fancy dinner,β says Jaunzemis, lifestyle & dating coach from Meetup.comβs "Finding Love In Las Vegas." Whatβs really important on Valentineβs Day, or any other time a guy is trying to make an impression, he says, is appropriateness. While you might spend a few hundred to treat a long-time partner to a lavish meal, itβs not necessary to drop big bucks on a first dateβ¦ because often itβs more awkward than it is impressive.
Instead, Jaunzemis offers these ideas:
The La Contessa yacht cruise at Lake Las Vegas. Unique? Check. Romantic? Check.
Ice skating. Itβs good, clean fun and youβll probably get to hold her hand. Check out these places.
A quiet dinner at home. Cook together, and do the dishes for extra points. (Actually Jaunzemis said, βask her to cook for you,β but we like our suggestion better.)
A tour of Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden in Henderson. βThey give you free chocolate!β And remember, Jaunzemis says, βSheβs going to eat dinner with someone. It might as well be you.β

Post-script: CityLife does not typically print shout-outs, but this is a blog, and what the hell. Jaunzemis wants to add: βIβll be spending V-day with a special someone and if sheβs reading this article, Iβd like to say, I love you, Michelle.β
