10 Bellevue Valentine's Day Ideas - 10 Tips from 10 Bellevue

Apparently, various Bellevue restaurants like ZTejas, McCormick & Schmick's, and other local Bellevue favorites have special Valentine's Day menus and services available. I know that taking your significant other out to eat is fairly par-for-the-course, but if he/she likes to eat, this is a sure way to their heart. Since going out to eat is so common, this makes Valentine's Day dinner menus #10 our of 10 Bellevue Valentine's Day ideas.

Champagne, wine, and cocktails can be a prelude to another planned event, or provide closure to a great romantic evening. Bellevue has tons...literally tons of cool bars and/or restaurants to go and just "chill out" for a bit. I like Munch Bar in the Bellevue Square. If you go late at night, it turns into a little dance club, but if you go before the hooligans come out, it's really quite nice. :)

#8 of 10 Bellevue Valentine's Day Ideas has no title, but it can be whatever your significant others interests are. If they like shopping, Bellevue has a lot of great areas for that. Bellevue Square in particular has some great places to shop and a cool vibe. For example, if your partner likes shoes, go check them out with her/him. Even though you may not like shoes, the fact that you are interested in what the other person is interested in speaks volumes about your character. Shopping for a bit can be fun, but it may not be fun for you, so that's why it is #8 out of 10 on this list.

Valentines Day is all about capitalism and corporate greed these days. It's highly commercialized and your significant other may feel under-appreciated if you don't fork out some dough for them on Valentine's Day. Again, Bellevue has some great places to go shopping. Opening the present is great before dinner, or during. A typical Valentine's Day gift is jewelry. It's a safe bet that everyone appreciates.

Now I know what you're thinking, dinner and a movie is so cliche. Right? Well not if you do it right! Look, you're already going to dinner in Bellevue Square...there's a movie theater right there. It's really nice and it has IMAX.

OR

You can make a super-sweet video and upload it to YouTube that professes your love. Getting them to enter the URL can be really creative process. One of these options is easy, one requires effort. Guess which one people will do. Guess which one you should do.

I'm not an alcoholic, but this activity deserves a spot on it's own. Bellevue has some great wines! So go taste them.

Pete's Wine Shop is having a wine tasting on February 14th and boasts several different wines from up and down the Sonoma coast.

No, seriously. Do it. Everyone is so cut-off these days. We're all attached to our cell phones, smart phones, laptops, tablets, tv's, etc.

Get away from all of that for at least one day. Your commitment to your significant other, date, or spouse should be exemplified during Valentine's Day.

Unplug yourself.

Nothing says I love you like a back rub...and it you don't even have to be the one to give it! Although that would be more thoughtful, Paule Attar's L'Oreal spa is at 10223 NE 10th St Bellevue, Washington and has great reviews and a friendly staff if you don't know how to rub a back or a foot.

Go see some art! I'm not really that "in" to art, but I know what I think looks cool. So, I don't have to know who painted what or what era it came from to appreciate it. So, if you haven't checked it out, the Bellevue Arts Museum is always a nice "outside-the-box" thing to do. Unless, your date hates art, that is. The art museum is located at 510 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, Washington.

Say "I love you."

Hahaha...what else could it be?
