    h2. ANSWERS:

    *Mostly A’s:* You’re all about the romance. This Valentine’s Day, spend the night cooking dinner with your significant other and enjoy it by the light of candles with a bottle of red wine. As far as V-Day gifts go, buy a deck of cards, punch holes in the side and bind them together with binder rings, and write 52 things you love about your main squeeze on each card.

    *Mostly B’s:* You’re the type of couple who doesn’t really get caught up in the Hallmark Holiday. Instead of a romantic date night, consider staying in with your significant other for a game night. Skip the cliche gifts and instead use the money to do something fun together over the weekend.

    *Mostly C’s:* If it’s not adventurous, you’re not interested. Get out of town this Valentine’s Day — hop in the car with your guy or girl and take a spontaneous road trip to a city you’ve never been. Worry about plans and accommodations when you get there. Let a night out with food and drink be your gift to each other.
