Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
maybe you guys should stay at home, and watch a movie, and maybe you could make a really nice dinner for him and have a "candle-lit dinner".
~hope i helped! =]

Although drinking might sound like a fairly fun idea for a 20 year old, chances are that a 33 year old has "been there, done that" and will find it pretty bland, to say the least. At 33 you should pretty much be over the partying-stage and be onto bigger and better things, especially when it comes to alcohol. Think about normal clubs: Do you expect to find wasted 30+ year old guys that are single and looking? Doubtful, as it's mostly for men/women in their 20s. By 30 it just isn't as fun as you use to think.
And, no, this doesn't mean that 30+ year olds do not drink. It just means that they are less party-goers and people who get shitfaced on the weekends. They typically have a drink or two, enough for a light buzz, and then stop--all for a relaxation feeling rather than a party-up feeling. Get it? :)
Personally, I suggest making him some sort of food. This can be anything from cookies or brownies to a full-blown meal. It doesn't really have to be romantic if you cannot afford the cutesy heart sprinkles or the candles. Guys really like it when women MAKE them something, especially when it's edible. Try to figure out what his favorite foods are if you don't already know and hunt down a good recipe to try with him.
If he doesn't live with you, then you can ask him to come over to Valentine's to catch a movie on TV with you (or watch a DVD at your place, whatever) and surprise him with the food. Alternatively, if you two live in the same place, you could time his coming home to food being done to surprise him that way. If he's going to be home with you all day then just tell him that you're going to make him something you think he'll like this evening. :)
If you do the dinner thing then wine or champagne would be acceptable. Please do not try to get in the car for any reason after you've been drinking--even if it was just one drink. It can be very, very dangerous--most people who drink and drive (and wreck) weren't even aware that they were "that" drunk in the first place.
If the food is just not doable (as in: you are a HORRIBLE cook) then set up something you two just don't do often, that he does enjoy. I'm talking about, renting a movie you both really like and watching it together on the couch. I'm talking about, going out to the movies to see that one flick he's been dying to see (or that one flick you think he'd really enjoy). Try to stay clear of the girly-romantic movies if you are truly wanting him to have a good time--guys do not like sappy movies, plain and simple. Other examples would be: putt-putt golf (if he likes it and you two hardly go), bowling (read above), or even driving to the next county to see what's there (if he likes traveling/adventure; you could also add in the--let's see what we can find to eat there, just as an added adventure).
There are plenty of ideas that can be done for Valentine's Day that are acceptable as "gifts" to men. Flowers, chocolate, balloons, stuffed animals are NOT acceptable. Alcohol is a little over-rated by the time you're 30+ and one should NEVER drive after having a drink.
I hope you enjoy your Valentine's and make his very memorable. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

I agree with the person below, although if you're gonna drink, then don't go someplace with a car.
That is a very bad idea...
My friend's boyfriend drove her to someplace and he brought champagne...but they both drank it and they had a small car crash, because he drank quite a lot aswell..so be careful with that...

Okay. I have some ideas, they might help you.
Romantic night:
If you live alone, you can cook dinner for both of you with some movie, and a little gift like a perfume or cards/chocolate. And don't forget the wine.
If he isnt the romantic type of guy, then just go out to dinner in a special restuarnt.
Since you don't have money at this period of time, and if your boyfriend is kind of crazy and outgoing. Try something like (if you have a car), drive him to a bridge/mountain, anything with a great view and get some vodka to celebrite your love acting all childish and crazy.
Or simply you can go clubbing and get drunk, AND GO ALL CRAZY.
Good Luck
