Planning a Perfect Date

Although certain customs claim the male is supposed to plan a date, we all know that isn’t necessarily so. Dates can be planned by either gender and there are little or no taboos about who pays and who drives anymore. Things are becoming more equal and for good reason. Safety and independence are two of the major considerations, but enough of that. Let’s talk about planning that perfect date.

Where
Sometimes a date location lends itself to you easily. There is great concert you’re dying to make it to or something different like a festival or rodeo is in town. Other times, you’re stuck in a planning rut. What do to, where to go? Be creative. The coffee shop has been done. Yes, a lot of folks like coffee. Yes, it’s nice to talk there. But there are lots of other places to visit and get to know each other that are neutral ground if that’s what you’re looking for.

Try the zoo. Or perhaps a long (or short) walk through a park or along a beach might give you time to chat. Pack a picnic basket and find a pretty spot to sit and visit over cheese and wine. You also don’t have to wow anyone with your sophistication. Remember how much you loved carnivals? You probably still do. Your date might also get a kick out of them and a carnival or amusement park will have plenty of time for visiting while you stand in line. Check the paper for something fun and different. Impress your date with your creativity (even if he or she isn’t impressed by anything else.)

Who
It’s entirely possible you’re gotten this far in the date planning without ever settling on whom to take. Perhaps you have a steady significant other or even a spouse. Obviously they are probably your best candidate, or at least your safest choice.

There is no reason you can’t be creative about who to take on a date. Be bold and ask the cute guy at work, or try the girl in the apartment next door. Just because you haven’t been brave enough to ask before doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work up the courage now. Even if you flop, you can always take a buddy with you instead.

What
And the eternal question after everything else has been planned ad nausea. What do I wear? That, of course, depends on where you’re going and your own personal style. But if you’re stewing over the problem at work or at home, but the thought of weeding through your closet is too much for you, try checking out some online fashions in the form of dress up games on The Doll Palace. You can see stylish outfits pulled together by professionals or even make up your own outfits on various dress up doll makers.

Pretty soon you’ll have the perfect outfit, perfect somebody, and perfect location. Here’s hoping it all leads up to a perfect date. Good Luck!
