FORGET OYSTERS, CHAMPAGNE AND CANDLELIT RESTAURANTS, ALMOST NINE IN BRITISH TEN COUPLES WILL BE SPENDING VALENTINE’S EVENING ON THE SOFA AT HOME, WITH A BOTTLE OF WINE AND A TAKEAWAY
Valentine’s Day this Friday will be less about wining and dining – and more about lounge wear, soft lighting, a good TV show and ordering in, according to new research of couples.
86 percent of home bird Britons plan to spend the evening of love in the comfort of their own home, rather than going out for a posh date.
And the perfect night in as a couple includes a bottle of wine (32 percent), a take-away (41 percent), a good TV series (12 percent) soft lighting (26 percent) and a snuggly sofa (22 percent)
88 percent insist staying in is the new going out, with 29 percent insisting loungewear is the only thing they’ll be wearing up this Valentine’s.
In fact, a resounding 56 percent of the couples who took part in the study insisted that passion and romance are overrated.
While as many as 12 percent intend to bring the romance by wearing their pyjamas.
Kellie Wyles, Head of Upholstery from DFS comments: “More and more couples are choosing to spend time in each other’s company at home on the sofa rather than going out.
“Creating a cosy and inviting space is key to making nights at home special all year round. In fact, as people plan their Valentine’s Day dates, they can even head to our website for advice on couple sofa etiquette and top tips on how to host a date night at home.”
92 percent agree that the concept of romance has changed from the old-fashioned notion of roses, chocolates and opening doors.
While more than half (58 percent) think that people who have been together for years and still claim to be passionate are fibbing.
