PLANNING YOUR DATES

  
       By Margaret Kent

       Your dates will be more successful if you plan a variety of activities. Don't rely on your men to be creative. If they are, that's strictly a plus.

       Surprisingly, few women bother to plan their dates. Provide a variety of activities to give him new experiences and change his daily routine. Even if the man is  reluctant at first to do something different, he will eventually find it very enjoyable. You'll be getting the man accustomed to spending his free time with you. Even if another woman entices your fellow away from you for a while, he will miss the variety you provided him. He might be initially curious about her, but he should return to you with enthusiasm.

       You needn't find exotic activities, Check the newspaper for events and be courageous enough to suggest what to do and where to go. Be sure the man can easily afford the activity, or pick up the tab yourself. Be sure as well that he has the proper clothing or equipment to participate in the activity. You wouldn't want him to go bowling in his business suit!

       Take the effort to gather information that would make the date more interesting. Tailor each outing for the man. Your competitors aren't putting in this effort, so he'll enjoy his time with you more.
