In search of Mr. or Ms. Right? Head to the Beehive in the South End for the First Annual Love Ball. Once there, you can send anonymous messages of love or lust to other guests, potentially finding a match by midnight.

In addition to the possibility of a love connection, the Love Ball boasts drinks, fondue, and — of course __– the music of Barry White, sung by Ron Murphy and the Love Ball Unlimited Orchestra.

The party starts at 10 p.m. on Valentines Day, with no cover charge and a cash bar. Visit beehiveboston.com or call 617-423-0069 for more information.

If you’re looking for a more traditional way to spend Valentine’s Day with a loved one, enjoy dinner for two at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Boston. Quite an upgrade from a crowded dining hall, the Hyatt offers fine food and a romantic setting to share with someone special.

For those really hoping to impress their dates, you can opt to stay the night at the Hyatt with the Amour Package. This includes breakfast the following morning, champagne, truffles, massage oils and more. It’s instant romance with minimal effort.

For reservations call 617-521-5560.

In favor of keeping your celebration low-key? The Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square is running a series of romantic movies featuring a variety of classic love stories including Harold and Maude, Beauty and the Beast, Amelie and Casablanca.

Whether one of these is an old favorite or you’re looking to see something new, any of these films offers the opportunity for a cheap yet romantic date. Hey, it’s better than watching the Hannah Montana concert.

Check www.brattlefilm.org for show times; tickets are $9.50, $7.50 for students.
