Valentine's Day 2025: Here's How You Can Ask Your Partner To Be Your Valentine This Year

Valentine's Day 2025 is just around the corner, and if you still haven't asked your partner to be your Valentine for this year, what are you doing? Whether you're in the early stages of a relationship or have been together for years, this is the perfect opportunity to make a romantic gesture that they'll remember.

If you're still unsure how to pop the question in a meaningful way, don’t worry—here are five romantic and heartfelt ways to ask your partner to be your Valentine this year. Check them out:

Write them a love letter

In this digital age, a handwritten letter is a timeless and deeply personal gesture that many people crave. Take the time to express your feelings, revisit your favourite memories together, and share what makes them special to you. End your letter with the big question: "Will you be my Valentine?" Pair it with a small gift, like their favourite flowers or chocolates, for a romantic touch.

Plan a surprise date night

Surprise your partner with a date night leading up to Valentine’s Day. Set up a candlelit dinner at home, plan a picnic under the stars, or take them to a spot that holds sentimental value for both of you. As the evening unfolds, pop the question: "Will you be my Valentine?" The setting and thoughtfulness of the moment will make it unforgettable.

Create a meaningful gift

A personalised gift can be a sweet and meaningful way to ask your partner to be your Valentine. Think about what they love—perhaps a custom photo book filled with memories, a piece of jewellery engraved with a message, or a heartfelt playlist of songs that remind you of them. Attach a note or card asking the big question to make it official.

Send them on a treasure hunt

Why just a romantic way? Go playful with your way! Create a lively yet romantic treasure hunt leading to the big moment. Leave clues around your home or a meaningful location that lead your partner to different surprises, such as a small gift or love notes. The final clue can lead them to you, holding a card or a bouquet, asking, "Will you be my Valentine?"

Small or big, it doesn't matter—do what they love!

Asking your partner to be your Valentine doesn't have to be fancy or extravagant; it should be personal and special. Tailor your gesture to something your partner loves. If they’re a foodie, bake cookies or a cake with "Be My Valentine" written in icing. If they’re into movies, create a short video or slideshow with photos and memories of your time together, ending with your question. These personal yet thoughtful ways show you truly know and value them.
