The Perfect Date

Hey again,

So here is an idea for all you men out there on what a perfect date looks like. For those of you reading this here is a short list of "Do's and Don'ts":

• Don't over plan: a few simple ideas is perfect, girls don't want the whole night planned out, sometimes spontaneity is good.
• Expect to pay for the date: Trust me this is a major plus to the female... However, be open and talk to her about this.
• Coffee is not a date: Going to the coffee house can be a great tool to get to know someone, but it is not a date. Don't consider it one unless you are already in a conversation and you only have half an hour to spend time with her. 
• Do let her choose ideas: If you can't make up your mind on two different places, let her choose as she might have a preference. If not then make it a surprise because every woman likes surprises even the ones who wont admit it. 
• Jewelry, chocolates, or flowers: These are nice to get once in awhile, especially the flowers. The flowers don't have to be roses and it doesn't have to be a large bouquet. Sometimes a couple of her favorite flowers are all it takes to make her heart melt. Chocolate is also good for those times where you know she needs a pick- me- up from a stressful day at work. Jewelry is always good for birthdays or holidays, it doesn't have to be big and expensive, a small simple piece of jewelry that goes with one of your favorite outfits will work. Just make sure she knows that its for that outfit and that you like that outfit on her... ;)
• Lastly, we care about how we look and whether we are wearing make- up and jewelry so don't downplay it. Be happy that we made ourselves look nice just for your enjoyment and pleasure. Trust me it takes a lot of work to do that and to make it look good.

So the above list isn't the long and extensive list, I am sure there is more, but for now there are a few tips for you. 

Now on to some fun date ideas: 

1. Dinner and a movie are a great date idea. You can split who chooses the movie and where you go out for dinner. If you only want a small diner suggest splitting the plate, it can also turn into a really romantic moment with her. 
2. A walk in the park/ on a beach/ in the mountains. Just taking her out into nature and allowing her to take photos or sketch or just enjoy the time with you is enough. Only hint make sure you grab her hand and hold her close while you walk, this will make it more personal for the both of you and allows others to see you are together and happy.
3. Bonfire. Need I say more, take her somewhere and build a fire and lay out under the stars together. Make sure you keep the fire going and hold her close if she gets cold. Also lay your jacket around her shoulders if she does get too cold. You can also lay a blanket on the ground and allow her to put her head on your chest, and just rub her arms or play with her hair. These simple moments, quiet moments are nice and allow her just to spend a few precious moments with you.
4. Last idea would be to volunteer or do something for others but together. Take her to a church function where you will both be working, but can work together. You can also take her to a community outreach event or with a youth group event and see how she is around children and youth. However it also allows her to see what you are like in the same situation and with the same age groups. 

All of these ideas are great for either cheap or expensive dates.  A woman doesn't need expensive dates every time, some might like it but the majority of women do not. If you make a date show up early and look nice, you don't have to wear a suit and tie, but every once in a while it doesn't hurt to bring it out and show her that you can look amazing.  However, jeans or khakis and a nice button up shirt are great for the majority of dates. Also guys make sure you smell nice and that you take a little extra care to smell good. A good smelling man is always a plus for a woman. 

I hope this helped all the young men out there trying to win a date with a princess. My last piece of advice is to view her not as a piece of meat that you can sleep with and then let go the next day. Instead view her as a prize worth winning and as a treasure that you have to work for. Trust me if she is worth waiting for and worth working hard for, then you have a true princess and you will be happy to finally win her heart. My other last piece of advice is  to always talk to the dad first. this shows that you care and that you respect her as an individual and the family as well. 

XOXO
