Listen up, men! Being boring is probably the worst thing you can do on a date. At least, that is, if you have any desire to have a second date with the same woman.
Yes, you might be boring.And she really might think so and just not be telling you. (Women are generally polite like that.)
And even if you're not boring... are you exciting? Does your wife or date tell you the next day that she's still impressed that you thought to do whatever funny and thoughtful thing you did?
Does she still have stars in her eyes, days later?
Does she brag about you to her girlfriends?
If not, then you need this stuff!
But fear not, my beleaguered brothers. You won't find any heavy relationship advice, pop psychology, or guilt trips here about how you "should" be doing things. You might just learn something useful, though.
What we're really going to focus on is one thing: How to make each and every date you go on MORE FUN.
Mind you, that means more fun for you AND her.
That's it. Light and fluffy. No stress.
We'll give you suggestions for really great dates, ways to save (or gracefully escape from) a boring date, funny and romantic touches to make every date special, and more.
We won't ignore the serious romance. You'll see suggestions on ways to show her you love her that she'll really hear. We'll even suggest ways to propose that will DEFINITELY get her complete attention, well before you get to the "Will you marry me?" part.
How do I know it'll work? Guys, you're going to get the perspective of one of the smartest and most romantic women I've ever met, to help to make sure this advice doesn't steer you wrong.
(That's her over to the right. Nancy. She's the best.)

| | Hey there, girlfriend... What? Don't tell me it happened to you again? You met a guy with great "potential" (love that word) -- and you even met him in a "right" way... Through a hobby or activity you love, through some charitable work you do, through some Internet work, or through a good friend.
You have that first date (the ever safe "dinner-and-a-movie" one)... and it was the most BORING event of your life. Even topping the LAST boring dinner-and-a-movie date you had.
And you're blaming him?
Not so fast. It's been a long time since it was the guy's "job" to come up with great date ideas.
We're supposed to have one or two of our own up our sleeve. 'Cause if we do, we avoid a heck of a lot of dating "faux pas"... Especially that "it was his idea and he paid so now I owe him" one.
Besides, if we do a little thinking on our own about where we want to go and what we want to do, we're not nearly as likely to end up watching him ride the bull at the local country bar. (Unless, of course, that is your idea of a great date!)
Let's suggest some things WE want to do, too! (Believe it or not, most guys want us to have fun more than we do. They just don't know what we want to do, and don't think to ask...)
And those other dating... um..."challenges"? Yep, I'm hearing about them, too:- Dating attire - good and bad.
- Silent signals we're sending whether we mean to or not.
- On a special diet - how do I date?
- Does this really mean what I think it means? (Trying to figure out what someone means without asking questions that lead other places is tricky. This one is LOADED with issues!)
We're sharing it all here. Chances are that knowing about your last "dud" date can save me from my next one. So SPILL! And I'll do the same.
I don't mind a lot of laughing... a bit of learning... and maybe even a few joyful tears... (read the "Pop-the-question" dates we'll have here in the future) if it means that the people I'm spending my oh-so-precious-time with are adding great things to my life.
I'm betting the same will happen for you with all of us behind you!
Let's get together. You can join by adding your email address to the form down there, and clicking "Give Me Ideas!"
We'll send you our newsletter, "Great Dating Ideas," which you can use to sort of "steer" things so that your dates are more fun for both of you.
And, if you haven't seen it yet, check the "Quick Start" box, and you'll get a copy of "10 Great Dating Ideas... to Make Every Date Special," written by that guy over there on the left. (Hi, Paul!)
We'll be doing "Ebert and Roeper" type reviews of dating suggestions, so please share those with us. We'll all do better if we have more great ways to make our relationships work.
And remember, ladies...
Be a Great Date... Every day!
Nancy
