It’s overdone
Proposing on Valentine’s Day might seem special, but it’s actually one of the most predictable times to do it.
When you tell your engagement story, do you want it to be one of the millions that sound exactly the same?
Choosing a more unique and personal day will make the moment even more meaningful for you and your partner.
High expectations, high pressure
With the overwhelming focus on romance, Valentine’s Day comes with sky-high expectations. Restaurants are packed, florists are overbooked, and social media is flooded with engagement announcements.
Instead of feeling like a once-in-a-lifetime moment, your proposal might feel like part of a mass event.
The luckiest days to propose in 2025 (Hint: It’s not February 14th)
If you're looking for a more auspicious day, CasinoDays partnered with celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman to uncover a few key dates in 2025 that might bring better luck and deeper meaning to your proposal:
- February 28, 2025 – Multiple planets align in Pisces, one of the most romantic zodiac signs, making this a day full of love and deep connection.
- June 25, 2025 – Cancer, the sign most associated with marriage and family, dominates the sky, creating the perfect backdrop for a heartfelt proposal.
- October 21, 2025 – Libra season brings balance and harmony, and with Venus in Libra, this is an ideal day to start a lifelong partnership.
But what if you still want to propose on Valentine’s Day?
If you’re set on a February 14th proposal, there is a silver lining. Psychic Inbaal Honigman notes that Valentine's Day carries a unique spiritual energy of love and romance. This is thanks to generations of people celebrating it as a day of passion and devotion.
If you and your partner love the idea of a Valentine’s Day proposal, go for it. Just make it personal, intimate, and memorable beyond the cliché.
The bottom line
A proposal should be about your love story, not just the date on the calendar. While Valentine’s Day might be romantic day for a proposal, it’s also expected, crowded, and full of pressure. Choosing a date that’s personal to your relationship can make your proposal truly special. So before you drop to one knee on February 14th, consider whether another day might make your engagement even more magical.
