Valentines day.
16/f, 17/m.
This will be my and my boyfriends 2nd valentines day together. Last year we went out for a meal, but this year I want to cook him dinner. But, I can't think of anything to cook! To start with I've decided on chocolate and strawberries and heart-shaped shortcake for dessert (it's our favourite to eat and to bake together). But what about the main meal!? I know how to cook spaghetti bolognese but I've cooked him that before. I don't really have much cooking experience but I can make anything as long as I have a recipe, I would find one myself but I honestly have no idea what to look for!
Another thing about valentines day, I just moved house a few months ago so my room isn't fully decorated. But I was thinking about in the evening, I can decorate my walls with like hearts and the words "I love you" written cut out from card across my wall, for when we come upstairs to watch films or something. Is there anything else I can do with my room to make it more romantic?
Any other ideas or suggestions for valentines day are appreciated :)

If you ask him what his favorite foods are, that would really help.
Chicken Parmesan on a bed of pasta is pretty easy to make. If you look on the food network website, it'll tell you exactly how to do it, so I'll just give you the basics.
You take chicken cutlets, dip them in milk or egg, then Italian breadcrumbs. Fry them in a pan, then let cool on paper towels on a plate
Put marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella on each cutlet. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted.
Then just make some basic pasta, if you want you can put parmesan cheese or sauce on it.
On each plate, put a serving of pasta, then the chicken on top.
You could maybe serve garlic bread as a side.
Good luck!

Try making his favorite food, whatever that may be, for the main course. Even if it's pizza, you can make it yourself (crust and all) and surprise him with the treat. If that fails and he has no favorite main meal then fall back to the basics of pasta--spagetti? fettucini alfredo? ravioli? perogies? lagasna? Once chosen search the internet for good recipes for the specific dish or ask here on Advicenators and I'm sure someone will have a tasty recipe for something more specific! :)
Oh, and don't be afraid to make that same dish again (the spaghetti bolognese) if he likes it. The whole point is to make him something he enjoys by yourself. If he likes, he'll appreciate it! :)
Create the dish for yourself one day and try it out. If the recipe is good then go for it and make it for your boyfriend on Valentine's Day. You absolutely MUST taste-test the chosen dish before creating it for your first time though or it might end up being a nasty surprise!
Candles can make any room romanic if the lights are dimmed and there are enough of them. Make sure to get unscented candles though, as the scented ones may become too overwhelming. Also make sure to light them away from the walls and drapes so that they do not burn anything during the evening. To light them, simply run to your room after dinner to set the mood and then invite him up :) Decorating the walls with cut-out "I love you" messages is a very cute idea. Also think of picking up some red curtains (and bedding if you can afford it) for the room just to add that extra touch.
Pick a nice movie that you both will enjoy. Guys don't typically like sappy tear-jerks so try to find a good combination of it. Romantic movies men might actually ENJOY with you:
50 First Dates
The Princess Bride
Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (starring Clare Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio)
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Fifth Element
His Girl Friday
The Butterly Effect
West Side Story
A Knight's Tale
Jerry Maguire
What Women Want
Forest Gump
I hope things go well for Valentine's Day! :)
