情人节怎么过？送花发红包吃大餐……都是属于这个节日的仪式感，那也有毫无表示的过节方式，今天和北雅一起盘点情人节的错误和正确过节方式有哪些~

错误的过节方式

什么表示都没有

Not doing anything at all.

It's not so much about this day. It's the thought that counts.

不是真正在乎这一天，而是一份心意。

Cynical: 对很多事冷嘲热讽、怀疑和不屑

A small gesture goes a long way: 一个小小的举动就会意义深长。

过度庆祝

Grand gestures in public places, 

A surprise proposal in a restaurant full of other couples: 公众场合下特别高调的互动，比如在餐厅惊喜求婚。

Stakes原意为赌注

The stakes are too high是一个固定表达，意思是风险太大

正确的打开方式

复制以前的约会方式

Replicate your first date.
