If you’re reading this, congratulations; you have someone that genuinely loves you even if you fart in bed. Or when your Spotify 2019 hit lists prove that Taylor Swift is your favourite artist. Or even if you’re vehemently right-wing (why though?).
To prove that we’re sort of in tune with what the concept of “romance” is, here are three options.
Option One: Choose an appropriate gift. Stuff toys are a no-go, chocolates are okay and so are artisanal bouquets. Sex toys? Sure?
Option Two: Bring your partner on a great big adults-only holiday. Think more Holiday In the Wild and less Midsommar.
Option Three: Just bring your partner to any one of the restaurants we’ve listed; you’re welcome.
