That’s right, this Friday night is Valentine’s day. Don’t be the guy awkwardly scrambling at the register with a teddy bear and some pre-packaged cellophane-wrapped chocolate… you’re better than that! (sorry consumer America).

And as for you single men and women- today is not a day to despair and justify eating a half-gallon of Blue Bell ice cream while you watch an movie that glorifies everything that is in opposition to love… by yourself! Do something fun and meaningful instead! Who cares if it’s called “Valentine’s Day”- it’s Friday night! Treat yourself to something fun this weekend, hang out with friends! We were made to be in community with people.

We live in a beautiful state that is teeming with a fun and diverse nightlife and surrounded by mountains that have more trails, activities, and adventure than we could possibly fit into our lifetime. Charge your camera and go take crazy pictures, go to your local recreation center and play on the water-slides and lazy rivers, buy fancy gourmet groceries at Whole Foods and cook her a delicious homemade meal, play some board games, make some caramel corn and have a movie marathon.

So, for those of you who are stuck on date ideas (totally okay- the important thing is that you are trying)- I have compiled a list of some other activities and deals going on this weekend in the Denver area that leaves no man (or woman) without excuse! Have a fun and safe weekend, you are sure to find something in the list below that fits your budget and situation!
