How to Spend Valentine’s Day with a Cebuana in Cebu

With February 14 fast approaching, couples are rushing to make plans for this special day. Everybody is busy making restaurant reservations, clearing their schedules, and doing everything possible just to be with their significant other. While there are plenty of places to visit for this holiday, it’s hard to think of any other place on earth where Valentine’s Day is as grandly celebrated as in Cebu.

Finding a date in this city wouldn’t be much of a problem because there are Cebuanas that are attracted to foreign men. In fact, there are those that seek help from matchmaking sites, so you can be sure to find your potential life partner in Cebu.

But before traveling to the Queen City of the South to date on Valentine’s Day, here are some dating tips to help you prepare for the day:

1. Give her roses and chocolates.

   This should be a no-brainer. Cebuanas are true romantics. They love the old-fashioned way of dating. Giving flowers and chocolates is the simplest and most traditional way of showing affection. Despite its simplicity, this gesture is one of the most romantic things you can ever do for a woman.

2. Wear something red.

   On your date, be sure to wear something red. Cebuanos usually wear something red during their Valentine’s Day date while others wear matching or couple outfits. If you want to let your Filipina girlfriend know that you are proud to have her as your woman, wearing matching outfits in public is the best yet subtle way to get the message across.

3. Ask her out on a date.

   Taking her out on a date is also another way of expressing your profound interest in her. It’s also one way to make her feel special. However, if you’re bored with the typical dinner date then you can always try something different.

   Cebuanas are not hard to please. They are very appreciative of even the simplest efforts. They even enjoy a romantic date while strolling in the park and eating some local street foods. Moreover, you can also try an adventurous date with her, like mountain climbing or chasing waterfalls. You can never run out of things to do in Cebu.

4. Watch a romantic movie together.

   Usually, there are timely romantic movies perfect for Valentine’s day. It’s also a common practice in Cebu to watch romantic movies as a couple. In fact, cinemas are usually crowded on this special day. However, if you don’t want to squeeze yourselves in a crowded place, you can also try to go to a movie house where you can enjoy watching by yourselves.

5. Attend mass together.

   It’s also a common practice in Cebu to attend mass together during Valentine’s Day. Due to the religious nature of Cebuanas, they always see to it that they allocate time for God during special days.

   Valentine’s Day is an important celebration for everyone. It serves as a reminder that despite how busy we are with our lives and our careers, we should never take those who love us for granted. It is a day that puts what and who matters in perspective.
