Making
Every Date Perfect Every Time
By Mary M. Alward
Are you looking forward
to a date with someone new; or maybe you need planning a date for someone
you’ve been dating for months. Well, now you can have a perfect date
every time you take your special someone out.
Take Notice
As
soon as you lay eyes on your date, tell them how special they look. Women
love to be told how gorgeous they are and men love to feel that they look
their best. Be complimentary and take notice of how your lover has prepared
for your date. Has you date changed her hair? Has he bought a new suit?
Chose something specific and make a nice comment.
Be Unique
Don’t
go down the same old path on every date. Surprises keep a relationship
alive. If you’re going out to dinner, make a reservation at a unique restaurant.
Possibly your date would enjoy going to an international restaurant where
they have a very wide variety of foods to chose from, or, take your date
to a restaurant where the chef prepares the entire meal at the table.
If
you are having a fun night out, take your special someone for a drive into
the country and wade in a stream; chase fireflies through a meadow or park,
or park on a bluff overlooking a river and stargaze. Use your imagination
so your dates don’t become humdrum.
Clean your Car
Whether
you’re a man or a woman, having a clean car is important if you’re using
it for transportation on your date. Wash and vacuum it thoroughly. Wash
the windows and clean the dashboard, console etc. Hide a couple of dryer
sheets under the seats to give your vehicle a fresh, clean smell. Puta
little soft music into your stereo system to set the mood.
Take a Flower
Yes,
I said flower, not flowers. Don’t take a bouquet. Take one single bloom.
If your date has a favorite flower, stop at the florist’s and pick up a
single stem. If you don’t know your date’s favorite flower, take an orchid
or a pink or white rose to a woman; for a man, a sunflower or chrysanthemum
in a masculine shade of rust or bronze. When you present the flower to
your date, tell them the meaning of the flower. Meanings of flowers can
be easily found online, or if you don’t have time to look it up, ask the
florist where you purchase it.
Toasts
When
your champagne or wine is served during dinner, make a toast. A simple,
“to us,” is sufficient. If you’ve been together for a long time “may we
have many more happy years together,” is always nice.
Undivided Attention
Give
your date your undivided attention. Make them feel like the two of you
are the only two people on earth. Gaze into your date’s eyes and say something
romantic to make your date feel special.
Etiquette
Use
good manners. Don’t belch after you’ve eaten. Open and hold doors, take
your date’s elbow and show small courtesies. Good etiquette will help you
score points.
Interest
Be
certain to show interest in the things that are important to your date.
Ask questions about their career, the sports they like, their likes and
dislikes, their favorite music, movie star or singer.
To Kiss or Not
to Kiss?
If
your date has made eye contact throughout the night and seems interested
in you, a goodnight kiss may be in order. Hold your date close and kiss
them on the cheek. If they respond positively, a more intimate kiss may
be in order.
Another Date?
If
both of you have had a great time and everything has gone well, ask the
person if you can call to arrange another special time together. When the
next date is set up, take time to plan something unique to do together.
Everyone likes to be treated special and uniqueness sparks romance.
