4.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas for dates, July 7, 2002

By

Since I don't go out all that often, when I do I'm always stuck for ideas for dates. And since my women friends are getting tired of my bugging them for date ideas, this book is wonderful! Not to mention that my women friends are releived I'm not bugging them anymore. But seriously, this book contains literally a ton (well ok maybe more like 75 or 80) ideas for dates. And they are for the most part "alternative" ideas and not ones like the dreaded "movie" or "dinner" date. Things like live theater, train rides, planetarium or factory tours, film festivals, bird watching, etc.

Not only are the ideas mentioned, but also background information about them. For example, the author lists playing pool as a date idea and then lists the different types of pool games there are. I never knew that. This is one book that I know I can refer to the next time I meet some nice lady and want to do something other than a movie.

Now it's just a matter of finding nice women to go out with!

5.0 out of 5 stars REALLY FUN, NEW IDEAS, March 13, 2002

By 

Mindy (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guide to Great Dates (Paperback)

I'm always skeptical when I see books or articles offering ideas to "rev up" dating life.

I was stunned and pleased that Guide to Great Dates suggests new, unique, fun, (and some nice & naughty) ideas to spice up life!

It includes fun, unique date ideas...from "Family Date" activities that are g-rated fun for the whole family ... to Wow! suggestions for sensual, intimate times alone. (Wait until you see what you can do with a plaster mold!)

If you're looking for ideas that are definately NOT run-of-the-mill, this book is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Book, June 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Guide to Great Dates (Paperback)

There are plenty of ideas in this book, although many of them are rather ordinary (go to the movies, walk in the park). But the sheer volume makes it certain that you will find at least a couple dozen that will work for you.

I would also recommend for more creative and unusual date to go to 300creativedates. com -- I loved what I found there and more importantly so has my girlfriend.
