As every special day, things are bound to go a little bit wrong. Hang in there. Just remember to take I Will Always Love You out of the mixed cd you made for you loved one, don’t go the fonduee way if it’s your first to tenth date (flames and heavy machinery are not for nervous hands), do not choose the cented candles in any way and you will be fine. Our Valentine Special Round Table discusses a few important aspects of the day.

Food for Lovers:
-Jello
-Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
-Popsicles
-A three course vegetarian meal @ Cookies & Cream
-Something with a lot of raw onions (because if he/she still kisses you, it's true love)

Ice-Breakers that don't work:

"Do you want some of my drink?" (shows a beer bottle with just one sip left) No.
"Can I kiss you?" No.
"I have been to Japan" Whatever.
"Does the carpet match the curtains?" Ew, middle school...
Also, just grabbing/kissing without saying anything first doesn't work so well either...

Places for Berlin lovers:
1. Stay at home...
2. Bathroom stalls at Berghain...just kidding some people actually need to use the bathroom
3. Cookies and Cream
4. Napoljonska for the vegan lemoncurd waffles
5. ...Stay at home...

Ice breakers that don’t/(or actually might) work

1. "I prefer feeling your smell rather than having breakfast"
2. "You can use my teeth brush, if you want to"
3. "I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you"

Food for Lovers:
1. Pick a color of your choice for a chromatic diet (http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/c/calle-game.html)
2. Each of you prepare something secretly, then you swap dishes
3. You can try no. 2 at the restaurant too, just whisper into the waiter's ear
4.  I'd personally go for an extremely fancy breakfast with berries and champagne 
5. Whatever you go for, make sure that the desert is equally delicious

Places for Berlin Lovers

1. The place where you saw your lover for the very first time
2. Go west, to some place with high ceilings, marble walls and heavy red curtains
3. A walk, including a lot of bridge-crossing
4. Bode Museum
5. Ballhaus Mitte

Icebreakers that don’t/(or actually might) work

Why don't we have a "ride"? (and wispered) yes, but, don't fool yourself! 
Do you want to drink something with me? (and after a quickly secret look into the wallet)... well, just for you, I'm not so thirsty
Never seen before: "Wanna kiss me?"
"Can I leave you my phone number?" he started to write some big numbers on my left leg: from the knee he immediatelly rose up!

Food for Lovers
Crostini with Gorgonzola, radicchio and mango chutney
Salmon carpaccio with lime, coriander and pink pepper
Pasta: Farfalle with shrimps and zucchini
Chocolate and raspberry cupcakes
White wine:Fiano d'avellino or Greco di Tufo

Places for Lovers
Dance until the day after in a smoky dancefloor
Go to the Berliner Philarmonic
Getting lost in frozen roads and seek warmth in cozy bars
Have a walk in a snowy Tiergarten
the the Dark Restaurant NOCTI VAGUS (I've never been yet, but I want to try it soon) 

Kim Bos

Ice breakers
I think you’re cool / You’re  pretty / You’re smart. (I’m a sucker for nice comments. Who isn’t?)
Your pupils are so big. They enchant me. Did you take XTC?
Your lips satisfy me.
Could you be the most beautiful girl in the world. Could you be? It's plain to see you’re the reason that god made a girl. Oh yes you are.
I wish I had never met you.

Food for Lovers
Boerenkool: http://www.food.com/recipe/boerenkool-stamppot-kale-hash-33269 (and mold it in the shape of a heart, ofcourse)
Dim sum – always a blast to eat with chopsticks…
Chocolat fondue, what else?
Zeeuwse mosselen (mussels). Because it’s always a surprise what you will find inside. Kind of like a first date, right?
Warm Butter-Poached Lobster Salad with Tarragon-Citrus Dressing: – because Martha Stewart says so. I'm not that imaginative when it comes to cooking.

Places for Berlin Lovers
Berliner Gruselkabinett at Anhalter Bahnhof. 
At home in bed with two blankets, a bag of M&M’s (yellow) and Breaking Bad.
At home in bed with two blankets, any Rittersport bar and Heimat.
At home in bed with no blankets and a porn movie (suggestion:one with Kim Holland in it). 
At the Teuffelsberg (bring the blankets).
