Yup, I know it's corny but that's what I'm going for.
If your girlfriend is really into the music-scene, you could get her concert tickets to an upcoming show of her favorite band. Lupo's has a list of bands coming through April on their Web site. There's not a whole lot in the way of live music happening on Valentine's Day unless you're into the StereoFidelics, which consists of a guy and a girl who play six or more instruments at once.
If you're looking for something fun and interesting to do outside of the house, I suggest checking out projothebeat.com and see what's going on in R.I.
There are a bunch of dances going on and I know how all us college students miss high school dances...not. But, the Shriners are throwing a Sweetheart dinner and Doo Wop dance on V-day. And what could be better than a night spent dancing with old men wearing fezzes, listening to Doo Wop music? Nothing, obviously.
Except maybe lip-syncing a music video on your web cam with your significant other to Miley Cyrus music. Which, I've found, is hilarious when you very quietly walk into a room when your friend is watching said video. I think this might be the ultimate bonding experience. You know you can trust a person when you have a video of them dancing and singing teenybopper music into a pink hairbrush.
I think the more ridiculous, the better. So be creative and think of things your girl likes to do. She's not looking for the rose petals or even the picnic. She just wants you to show her you care. Sure, holding her hand and carrying her books to class is cute but it's not original. Heck, make her dinner then dance with her in the living room. When was the last time you danced with her? Senior prom? Who knows, it might make her night. And if all else fails, a can of whipped cream and dessert toppings always leads to a good time.

I agree with Scarlet Buns. Valentine's Day is significantly overrated. BUT, in the end, if you want a little special time with your woman, what better way to get in the mood than with some old-fashioned cheesiness?
