8  Last-­‐Minute  Must  Haves  For  Valen4ne’s  Day

by Moxie FutureX

Moxie’s  Future  Experience’s  team  has  compiled  the  following  short  list  of  eight  apps  and  sites  that  will  keep  you  from  going  down  in  flames  —  or  maybe  spare  you  considerable  drama  this  Valen4ne’s  Day.

How  can  you  have  Valen4ne’s  Day  without  the  Big  Kahuna  of  on-­‐demand  services  —  Ubër.  With  three  different  4ers  of  service,  a  parking-­‐free,  drink-­‐limit  free  night  out  on  the  town  is  par  for  the  course  for  you  and  your  special  someone.

If  your  Day  of  Love  quickly  spirals  into  a  Date  From  Hell,  get  a  quick,  authen4c  out  sent  directly  to  your  phone  from  KnockToCall.  This  iOS-­‐only  app  saves  you  from  a  bad  date  by  sending  a  fake  emergency  call  directly  to  your  iPhone  aUer  you  knock  it.  Hopefully,  you’ll  be  able  to  do  it  without  your  date  no4cing.

On-­‐demand  flowers,  beginning  at  $35,  are  available  seven  days  a  week  and  can  be  delivered  within  90  minutes  of  your  order  from  your  phone.  Impossible?  Bloom  that!  

@MoxieFutureX

Dinner,  flowers  and  a  movie  are  so  cliché,  you  say?  Then  try  Spinlister,  an  Airbnb  for  bicycles,  and  hit  the  road  wherever  you  two  are.  It’s  a  global  service  that  won’t  leave  you  cash-­‐light,  the  way  purchasing  a  bike  will.

Who  s4ll  calls  to  make  reserva4ons  at  restaurants?  With  OpenTable  you’ll  avoid  the  noisy  backgrounds,  the  impa4ent  maître  d’s,  and  most  importantly,  the  busy  signals.  Take  it  even  further  and  get  to  your  next  des4na4on  faster  by  paying  for  dinner  in  advance.  Just  be  sure  to  explain  to  your  date  that  you  aren’t  skipping  out  on  the  check  at  dinner  so  that  she  won’t  start  knocking  on  her  phone.

We would never advise you to go out on a first date on Valentine’s Day, but if so possessed by some cavalier desire to test the fates, why not give Hinge a try? This dating app allows you to “vet” potential candidates through friends on your social networks. Hinge removes the creep factor from stalking your friends’ friends on social media.

@MoxieFutureX

If all else fails and you simply don’t have a clue as to where to take your date — or should all your best laid plans go up in smoke — you can always check out Waze, the world's largest community-based traffic and navigation app. If you check your inbox, you’ll find a message allowing you to “Search Love” — crowdsourced suggestions from users on where to take your date, conveniently mapped out via cuddly red pins. As much as this makes perfect sense, and as much as we use Waze, we sincerely hope you won’t have to resort to a talking map for ideas for Valentine’s Day.  

@MoxieFutureX

       Should  Valen4ne’s  Day  come  and  go  and  you’re  just  as  single  the  day  aUer  as  you  were  the  day  before,  get  the  jump  on  next  year  with  tried  and  true  MeetUp.com,  where  you  can  find  a  group  and  get  social  IRL  with  like-­‐minded  individuals  in  virtually  any  category.  On  the  slim  chance  you  don’t  see  anything  you  like,  you  can  always  start  your  own.
