We are delighted with declarations of love: we talk about them in the company of friends, remember them in difficult moments of life and want to hear them again and again. How to make the moment of recognition non-trivial and memorable? The main thing is to choose the “right” place. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, a sexologist talks about the most unusual ways and places to say these important words.
When choosing a place for super recognition from the list, it is important to remember the psychotype of your partner, notes sexologist Ilya Shabshin. Think about whether he likes noisy places and a festive atmosphere or more secluded corners where you can stay just the two of you. We are all different, and what excites some will not please others.
1. Bridge in Paris
What is the most romantic city in the world? Of course, Paris. What is the most romantic bridge in Paris? Bridge of the Arts. Although now lovers are not allowed to hang locks on it, but still: this is one of the most successful places for a declaration of love.
There is a second great option: the Bir Hakeim Bridge. Scenes from the films «Last Tango in Paris», «Inception», «Professional» were filmed there. Also a great location and view of the city.
Comment psychologist:
This method is suitable not only for the first declaration of love, but also for «rebooting» relationships. If you and your partner have moved away from each other — which is often found in couples with experience, then sincere words of love in such a romantic place will not interfere with you. It is also a good option for those who decide to start a relationship from scratch and forget about the mistakes of the past.
Pros: romantic mood guaranteed. You will definitely be answered with consent and gratitude for an unforgettable trip.
Cons: the financial side of the issue.
2. High-rise tower or hot air balloon
Declarations of love will sound especially impressive at a bird’s eye view. Someone prefers a balloon, but the Seventh Heaven restaurant on the Ostankino TV tower or the restaurant in the Federation Tower in the capital is much more comfortable.
Another non-standard option that deserves attention is the roof of the Nirnsee house on Tverskaya. There is a restaurant where the poets of the Silver Age liked to relax, and from there a stunning view of old Moscow opens up. Scenes from the films «Office Romance», «Courier», «The meeting place cannot be changed» were filmed on the same roof.
Comment psychologist:
This method will be appreciated by both creative natures and people with a closed-profound character. The first will be pleased to join a place with an interesting history. The second will get food for thought — their favorite pastime.
Pros: a beautiful game of metaphor, where lofty feelings are spoken of at a great height. And panoramic views.
Cons: Can’t be isolated.
3. Scoreboard at the stadium
Just imagine how during the match your declaration of love lights up on the huge scoreboard of the stadium, and the applause of thousands of spectators makes this moment simply fantastic!
Comment psychologist:
This is the best option if your loved one loves to be the center of attention. The effect of surprise will enhance positive emotions. In addition, it is suitable for passionate natures, so be prepared for a pleasant continuation of the evening.
Pros: such a creative declaration of love will be one of the most vivid impressions in life for many years.
Cons: not for those of us who are shy of public attention.
4. Radio on your favorite radio station
Another option is to stay at home on this day, having prepared a declaration of love on the radio in advance. When words of love, appreciation and gratitude are heard live on your favorite radio program, it will make a lasting impression on your partner. Not to mention the effect of surprise. A loved one will definitely appreciate both your ingenuity and efforts to organize a surprise.
Comment psychologist:
Each of us sometimes wants to feel special — and how many hear recognition on the radio? If you guessed the unspoken desire of a partner and fulfilled it, be sure that you have taken a big step towards improving relations.
Pros: recognition on the radio will give additional significance to words of love, and originality will be remembered for a long time.
Cons: Efforts will have to be made to translate such an idea into reality.
5. Fascinating quest
You can choose an interesting variant of the quest in advance and arrange your own Fort Boyard for your couple. It is not in vain that it is said: “without difficulty you cannot even pull a fish out of a pond.” We appreciate what we got the hard way. Your loved one will definitely remember and appreciate how, having overcome obstacles, he received the main prize: a declaration of love.
Comment psychologist:
Relationships should not and cannot be absolutely cloudless. Overcoming difficulties is an integral part of them. You can look at this way of declaring love as a metaphor: yes, sometimes you need to make an effort, but what a pleasant result awaits us ahead. This option will suit your couple if you are purposeful, know what you want, and are ready to try to achieve your goal.
ProsA: Creating shared positive memories is a great investment in a relationship. You will remember this version of a declaration of love yourself and tell friends and relatives about it.
Cons: quest — the story is not completely predictable. If you fail to cope with the tasks, then your partner’s mood may not be the best and the declaration of love will have to be postponed to another day.
