Product Description
From Fun, Sometime Silly, Romantic, To the unique!

You've visited every restaurant in town-and you're tired of going to the movies. What are you supposed to do when you go out on a date these days?

Well, how about hosting a co-ed volleyball party?
Getting to know each other better by playing Twenty Questions?
Catching some local scenery by renting a moped for the day?
Sharing the cooking for a luxurious gourmet meal?
Or test-driving a luxury car you know full well neither of you can afford?

From the purely romantic to the unusual and exotic, the adventurous suggestions will add up to plenty of fun for people who want to try something new.

Each of the 2002 books are filled with creative, zany, sometimes off-the-wall ideas for finding and wooing that special someone. These books make it fun-and easy-to be romantic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hi honey, wanna go throwing coins in a wishing well with me?, July 21, 2000

By	Olavi Jaggo "[e-mail]" (Estonia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 2002 Things to Do on a Date (Paperback)

Sure, if you are getting as large an amount as 2002 dating tips in one book, you can't expect them all to be gems. But if everything is rubbish, you have a right to say that the authors have done a lousy job.

Here are a few random examples of the fabulous creations of Ms. Haynes's and Mr. Edwrads's geniality:

Flirt only with each other. Whisper sweet nothings. Form a romantic poetry society. Sing Auld Lang Syne at midnight. Sit side by side on a park bench and watch the world go by. Teeter-totter an evening away. Take a taxi around your city to see the sights. Restore an antique car together. Discuss current events. Cure each other of the hiccups.

After browsing this truly amazing "book", I spent two minutes looking around in my room and lo - a dozen super hot dating tips popped into my head: look out of the window together, scratch your noses together, play a computer game together, try to break a pencil in two together, clean up your room together, clean up her room together etc etc.

Wow! I could become a best selling author, too. But why stop with "2002 Things to Do on a Date"? Why not write a dating tips series of, say, ten volumes? That would be a great starting point to move on - to "2002 Things to Do on a Business Lunch", for instance. Discuss what you like about your dish. Discuss what you dislike about your dish. Measure which one of you has a longer middle finger. Try to count each others' hair. Ha! I kill me!

To sum up: If you find ten useful tips in this book, you are very lucky

1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of time. Full of redundancy and bad taste., July 20, 1999

By	TonyD "[e-mail]" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 2002 Things to Do on a Date (Paperback)

Despite the fact I rarely EVER give 1 star ratings on books, I feel like this book deserves every bit of such a pitiful rating. 2002 Things to Do on a Date is FILLED with repetitiveness and redundancy. I'd say there is only about 100 or less things to do. To give an example. Two ideas are "Go hiking on cliffs." and a little later there is something like "Go on an hike together." The ideas are pitiful and can be HIGHLY inappropriate for dates. I've been on many incredible dates and feel that if I took my dates on the ideas within this book I'd quickly loose any potential for a 2nd date. Perhaps 3 or 4 ideas are good ideas, the rest is trash...absolute, definite trash.

2.0 out of 5 stars In Agreement, June 7, 2002

By A Customer

I would definitely agree with those who wrote that this book appeared to be put together after an all-night brainstorming session. I wouldn't consider "pray together" to be a date.

I think for a date you should read this book with your date and laugh at most of the stupid ideas.

If you are looking for creative and fun date ideas I'd highly recommend going to 300creativedates. com and check out the material there. I loved the ideas.
