Flirting Tips and Dating Advice
Words of Wisdom to Help Make Your Dating Experience One to Remember
Be Creative
Some of you might feel as though you are in a dating rut. The same old "movie and dinner" on Friday or Saturday night. Step outside of your comfort zone and try on someone else's shoes, so to speak. Do something you might not do ordinarily.
You could visit your local skating rink (ice or roller), or perhaps you live in a place where you can rent roller blades and blade down a boardwalk somewhere. Maybe you don't rollerblade...you can stroll down the boardwalk instead and people watch. I, personally, love to people watch...as I do flirting. Sometimes when I am sitting or walking with someone, we make up stories about the many individuals that pass us by. It's easy (and fun) to imagine the lives of those around you. You could go to a park and ride the carousel or go to the zoo. A sidewalk cafe is a perfect place to sit and have an ice cold drink or a cup of coffee and comment on the passersby (while flirting). You could go for breakfast and share the Sunday paper. You can learn a lot about a person by which parts of the paper they read (or don't). Perhaps you have a rose garden or an arboretum close be that you can stroll through. Museums are good (as are aquariums)...they provide a lot of material for conversation. Sporting events are fun, but don't always give one the opportunity to converse. You can always go out afterwards and talk about the game at a nice quiet table for two. If you're into the ponies, you could always go to the racetrack. There's nothing like it on a beautiful day. Just keep the bets small, so you don't alienate your date by letting him/her lose all their money. The local marina is a good place to have lunch, while looking out over the water and the boats (and flirting).
The possibilities are endless. If you can't think of anything that sounds good or seems different, you can always visit your local Visitors Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce or go online. Sometimes there are things right in your town that you don't even know about...outdoor concerts, auctions, art fairs or art walks. Taking a little time to do a little research can turn your blind date into a memorable experience. The way I figure it, if the person you're dating doesn't end up doing it for you, at least you will have gone somewhere different or tried something you might not have, otherwise. Go on, broaden your horizons...try a little flirting...have fun with the whole thing...break out of your shell. It's true that you might try something or go somewhere that you find you don't enjoy, but if you never try it, you'll never know!
Happy Dating!
