There was another thread on this, and my advice there was that you want to pick food where as much of the preperation is done ahead of time as possible. That way when your date arrives you can be nicely dressed and not covered in food. Even a salad can be prepped ahead of time, just don't put the dressing on till you serve it (also be careful with tomatos!).
Also be careful you don't have things in the oven that are time sensitive, in my experience Valentines dinners can have unexpected "intermissions"...
