Dating, Why does it have to be so complicated? Isn’t dinner and a movie what every one does? First Dates can be a little tricky. You want to make great first impression and you tend to be a little nervous, right? Anything important needs some prep time; a holiday meal, job hunting, or making a large purchase.
Make sure that you engage in “date prep” before your next date. Think about what would be fun, encourage conversation or be romantic. You don’t have to obsess about the perfect date but having a “date plan” will absolutely make your date the best it can be.
Contrary to what you might think, money is not the best barometer of the perfect date. Actually, the cheapest date can turn out to be the best date. Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating being a cheapskate. That is a major turnoff!
The dates that have the best outcomes are the ones that make you want to talk, bring you closer together and also show that you have taken the time to plan something special.
I know you say, I can never think of unique date ideas. Not to worry, I have done the homework for you. Now all you have to do is grab a pen jot these ideas down and tweak them so they will be the perfect date for you.
