It appears that love is in the air. If not love, then there are certainly enough candy hearts, infant cherubs with weapons, and stuffed animals the size of dorm rooms to approximate the effect. In case the commercialized fervor has yet to hit, or grocery shopping has not occurred since New Years, Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Next Sunday, February 14 to be exact. Yes, Valentine's Day is all well and good, but what about the pressure! Let us face it, romance is harder than... Advanced Electricity and Magnetism. Certainly. In addition, there are not that many girls at Mines, so getting it right is somewhat important. More pressure! But relax! The girls here on the beautiful Mines campus want to give a hand to the nice young gentlemen by taking the pressure for a "perfect date" off. The common consensus is that a Valentine's Day Date should be special, but hey - who is perfect? To this effect, some young ladies volunteered their ideas for a perfect Valentine's Day. Take from it what you will.
"My ideal Valentines Day date? Well, it should be special... Probably not a movie night. I think something that would be really fun and special would be to go stargazing with thermoses full of hot chocolate."
Hancock, Kassi
"At this point, any date would be a good date... But I think that something like getting Ali Baba take-out (really good Mediterranean food) and going on a hike and eating when we got to top would be something really fun, just about my perfect Valentines Day date."
Vincent, Kelley
"I would like to go to PF Changs, then go shopping and see Valentine's Day the movie. After that, we could do any of the things my date would like. That would be my ideal Valentine's Day."
Rutledge, Jordan
"Ice skating! After which, I would love to go to a really nice restaurant, not any one in particular, just one that serves really good Italian food, because I love Italian. If it's nice out, we would take a walk. If not, then we could go for a drive. That would be the perfect Valentine's Day date. "
Kiess, Coralyn
"My 'ideal' date doesn't have to be in Colorado. I would love to have an ocean front dinner by candlelight. Then go for a long walk on the beach and lay on a blanket with rose petals and look at stars."
