Whether it's your first or your 50th Valentine's Day together, a dinner or movie date would be the obvious choice, just like chocolates and flowers.
This year, why not try playing a video game with your significant other? But hold on -- just like how you would choose a happy rom-com over a weepy tragedy or blockbuster action flick on Feb 14, you've got to choose the right game. We help you choose the perfect one for your relationship.
For the new couple:
Fingle, for iPad (https://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/fingle-free/id574412101?mt=8)
