Stop at a neighborhood deli just before the date and pick up a
full picnic lunch or dinner? Ask your date for her favorite foods, so
hopefully you can include one or two in the meal. Now drive to the
beach or the park (perhaps she has a preference) and find a nice spot
away from any crowds. You can talk while you eat (remember napkins and
something to sit on!)
and then
go for a walk together.
Why not meet your date at her house with a single flower that you
can have professionally wrapped at a florist? Make it one in a color
she likes, or if you happen to know her favorite flower, even better.
Have it wrapped with baby's breath and a few nice leaves in clear or
colored cellophane, just like a full sized bouquet.
If you want to end the evening doing something, maybe an ice
cream parlor or the bar in a local japanese resturant for a drink
would be nice and easy. Or want to be sure that you have something to
do in case you don't end up with much to talk about? Why not go to a
pier or local amusement park? Not a theme park - just a place with a
merry-go-round and some pinball and other games, and maybe bumper cars
and stuff. You can take turns trying to win each other toys, or play
skee ball - and except for serious snobs, everyone loves skee ball.
Want to do a movie at your place, but make it seem special? Then
instead of the same old movie popcorn, why not see if you can buy a
couple actual movie popcorn containers? They have them at resturant
supply places or maybe a local theater will sell you a couple. Try a
little decor - maybe you can get a couple old movie posters that used
to hang at movie houses. Find out what her three favorite movies are -
hopefully they aren't too esoteric and you can find at least one for
rent. Then send her an invitation, either hand-delivered or in the
mail. Invite her to a movie preview (but make it clear it will be at
your place, so she doesn't get dressed up) - for example:
You Are Invited to a Cinema Event!
Your host at 's theater would
like to invite you to a movie premiere.
will be playing at
8pm
sharp. Please bring this invitation for seating.
Or you can always go somewhere where
you both have interests. If you both enjoy reading, maybe you can go
to a used bookstore and then go sip coffee. If you and she both like
roller skating, that could be fun. Or a trip to the zoo. You might
even try a long drive in the car, if you have some nice scenery near
where you live. |
