In case you’re stuck for ideas, these celebs have got you covered.
Kim Crossman
(FUNNY GIRLS)
I’m a big fan of collecting memories, not things, so my perfect date would be some kind of adventure followed by fish and chips on the beach, or a drink and a game of pool at the pub. Cheap and cheerful!
Laura Daniel
(JONO AND BEN)
My ideal Valentine’s date would be nothing too flashy – just some nice fish and chips on the beach with a bottle of bubbles. And then as the sun sets, Adele would come out with a three-piece band and perform a private concert as a waiter brought out an endless supply of Dom Pérignon and a basket of kittens.
Erin Simpson
(RED CARPET NEW ZEALAND)
I’ve got a new man and we’re in the honeymoon phase, so even walking to the dairy these days is like going on a date! I’m not a very confident cook and he knows that, so I’d cook. He would know I had challenged myself making the meal to show I really value him and feel so lucky we found each other.
Ngahuia Piripi
(SHORTLAND STREET)
The perfect date would be someone taking me to a fine restaurant with excellent food and matching wines – a place with a degustation menu would be awesome!
Charlotte Brown
(MY KITCHEN RULES)
A home-style sunset barbecue with a perfect eye-fillet steak, charred veges and a summer fruit platter for dessert, all served alongside our favourite Netflix show – not the cricket!
Ryan Bridge
(NEWSHUB)
I love the beach, so a swim followed by dinner and a beer in the dunes would be perfect. As well as fun, dates should also be a test. If they don’t like the beach, there’ll be no second date. “It was so nice meeting you – bye!”
Dai Henwood
(7 Days)
My perfect date involves flying to Queenstown, getting there early enough that we can both go to the Onsen Hot Pools, followed by a massage, then
wandering around the city and eating at Madam Woo. I wouldn’t plan it out too much because you always need to have time for the random to happen.
Aziz Alsa’afin
(THE AM SHOW)
Pick four of my fave eateries in the same area and stagger the bookings out so they’re 45 minutes apart. At each place, ask for the bartender’s cocktail recommendation. Pick a few side plates and let the conversation flow along with that liquid gold.
Meghan Annear
(THE EDGE)
My Valentine’s Day plans are a little different. I know other people like extravagance and going out for a fancy dinner, but since me and my partner Guy Mansell don’t get to see each other much because of work, it’s nice to just be at home with our cat, watching a movie. It sounds so boring, but to me, that’s the perfect date.
Jay-jay Harvey
(RADIO HOST)
I’m a simple girl with simple tastes, but I like a bit of luxury too – so don’t take me for a $5 pint somewhere! If I’m going on a date, just a bar for a no-pressure drink will do. If I feel like it’s a big deal,it will freak me out.
