ATTENTION WOMEN

Time to swipe your Visa!

Men love a girl that cleans up well. Short skirts and coordinating "school girl" pieces are a guaranteed two thumbs up. Other great fashion tips: high-legged boots and lots of leather are guaranteed to grab a man's attention.

BUBBLE BATH

Ahh. Relaxation. What better way to cure those pre-date jitters than to soak your anxiety away in a soothing bubble bath? Not only will you feel refreshed, you will look remarkably rejuvenated and have the energy required to send those oh so important signals to Mr./Mrs. Maybe.

ROAD TRIP!

If you can manage a little extra time off from your hectic schedule, why not pack a bag and hit the road? Your spontaneity will prove to be the perfect solution to the monotony of dinner and a movie. What's more, you'll have the opportunity to share new experiences together. Tell me that's not romantic.

SIGHTSEE

"And this is Fisherman's Wharf. In 1924, blah blah blah."

Nothing says "cultured" more than a man who knows the ins and outs of his hometown. For bonus points, throw in an ice cream come.

ATTENTION MEN

If they look like a cult, walk like a cult, and talk like a cult; they're probably a cult!

Stay away from extremists: they're overboard in everything including their personal demands and fashion sense.

BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE NIGHT

If the weekend rolls around and you are either A) too tired to muster the courage to face the raucous bars or B) out of ideas and tired of doing the same thing, then take a night off and rent a bunch of classic black and white films. You will get a chance to catch up on your film culture and snuggle with that special someone. Nothing says 'romance' like "Gone with the Wind" or "Casablanca". For a lighter evening try a musical.

COMMUNE WITH NATURE

What's more romantic than a nice hike through the forest or the shaded coast? You get a good cardiovascular workout and an education about your surroundings, including your present company.

When small talk fails, try jumping on his back! Solid contact is a sure way to say "I'm interested!"!

BIGGER DOES NOT EQUAL BETTER

There is a reason why 80's hair remains a thing of the past...let's keep it there. Presently, your date will be thankful. Sometime down the line when you dig out the old photos, you will be thankful. You're welcome.
