Special Planning

The first date should not be lengthy. Keep aside 2-3 hours for it. You can plan activities that are sufficient for these few hours. A cup of coffee or a meal and then some fun activity will be enough to start a great relationship and memorable first date.
Choose the venue thoughtfully. If you have coffee or a meal in mind, pick a place that is close to her residence. Do not make her travel or deal with traffic for hours to come and meet you. The place must be quiet where both of you can talk comfortably with plenty of lighting and sitting arrangements. You do not have to tax your wallet and go for a fancy restaurant. A nice restaurant that serves good food and drinks should be enough. If possible, pick a place you frequently go to so that you know the type of service they offer and food is on the menu. This way you can make a suggestion or order something special for her to try.

It is not necessary to buy a gift for a first date; however, you can never go wrong with flowers or chocolates to give your date when you arrive. Believe me, this will make her night even more memorable and make you look like a romantic prince. Do not forget to compliment her for her looks. If you know her taste, you can plan accordingly. Spending some quality time in a bookstore or in an art gallery may prove to be quite memorable. I personally do not recommend going for a movie because it does not allow you to share your thoughts much. Choose an activity that both of you will enjoy. If your date is of adventurous type, you can even think of going for a short hiking or visiting the zoo or an amusement park.

Super Fresh

Other than planning for the date, ensure personal grooming so that you smell and look your best. Wear clean and ironed clothes that fit you. Wear semi-formal or formal clothes depending on the places you plan to visit. Be ready with some funny jokes that will make her laugh and enjoy your company. Do not linger the date even if you want to hang around her. Keep the first date short and sweet. If she the feeling is mutual, there will be plenty of time to share with one another.
Be sure to look your best, get a haircut,  shower, shave, the basics. Wear your favorite cologne; women love it when a man smells nice and fresh! Be yourself and look confident. Wear your best smile and make the date exciting and special. Don’t leave your charm or manners at home either. Remember to open a few doors, pull out her chair, and make sure she feels comfortable. And whatever you do, get there on time.

I am a single mother who owns and operates two businesses so my schedule is hectic. With family and business dating is a major challenge. I don’t have a lot of time to waste on bullshit and my patience is short. I’ve become a bit picky because of what I know and who I’ve become. Never giving up on love (or anything I’m serious about), my romantic soul knows the “perfect” mate is coming. I can only be myself and enjoy the journey along the way until I get there. In the interim I’ll be sharing with you some experiences that will hopefully help in some way (or at least provide free entertainment).

I can’t wait to start sharing this stuff with you guys! Please give feedback and share some of your comments! I hope that each reader can take something away from every posting. Please check back soon for our 1st blog post. I have not come up with a name for the blog yet, and I’m open to any suggestions.

Don’t forget to come to our next event. We have lots of fun and invite some of the most amazing singles out just to meet you.

Thanks!
