RedBalloon and Sam Mac reveal the best way to feel the love this Valentine’s Day

RedBalloon have teamed up with everyone’s favourite weatherman and funny guy, Sam Mac, to help us maximise Valentine’s Day this February 14.
 
‘Sam Mac, dishing out love advice?’ you may think. Well last year - with the help of RedBalloon - Channel 7’s Sam Mac, proved his love expertise when he took Dave Billsborrow off The Bachelorette under his wing, showing Dave how to impress his girlfriend, Sarah, for their first Valentine’s Day together. So you could say Sam is a bit of an expert when it comes to romance. At least when it comes to helping others.

Love guru Sam said, “Valentine’s Day provides the perfect opportunity to spend some time with the one you love. Sharing an experience gives you the chance to reconnect or get to know each other better. That’s why I’ve decided to share the most romantic day of the year with the love of my life - my beautiful cat Coco!”
 
In preparation for Valentine’s Day this year, RedBalloon and Sam Mac have developed a lesson in love. Delivering love advice and top tips on romantic ways to spend Valentine’s Day, guaranteeing that everyone feels the love this year.
 
So whether you’re looking to reinvigorate your love or celebrate your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, RedBalloon and Sam Mac have the perfect love and dating advice for you.
  1. Top tips for first dates – Typically people tend to hold back when going on a first date due to the fear of being rejected, the desire to be validated or suffering from low self-esteem. The key is not to focus on insecurities and instead put energy into planning a creative and memorable first date. Scientific research shows that it takes a minimum of three interactions before people develop accurate opinions of one another, so it’s important to be yourself and engage in a variety of different activities through the dating process.
RedBalloon Recommendation: First impressions count! Be unique by taking your crush on a RedBalloon Tandem Bicycle Hire  
  1. Reignite the love – Sometimes in our busy lives the romantic connection with our partner can get lost. When this happens it’s important to focus on the memories you have shared with one another and remind each other about the experiences you have enjoyed together. Past holidays, funny experiences or life events can provide a great way to reconnect.
RedBalloon Recommendation: Memories are key, so recreate special moments. Try a couples spa date or a romantic mini-break such as RedBalloon’s Byron Bay overnight getaway.
  1.  For those wanting to feel the love – It’s important when celebrating your love to remember the basics. Live in the moment by ensuring you switch your phone off and cherish the moments you spend together. Organise a new activity you’ve never experienced before and take the opportunity to remind yourselves why you love each other!
RedBalloon Recommendation: Try the RedBalloon Retro Drive-In Movie with an Overnight Stay  this Valentine’s Day, or jump on board a Sidecar Tour for two.

Experiences provide the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your Valentine, so forget the flowers and break the mould this Valentine’s Day.
