A Little Help With Your Dates & Mini-Breaks:
When I work with singles I often hear women complain that men text them to ‘meet up’ and then they ask the woman last minute, ‘What do you want to do? Why don’t you just pick something.’ Many women classify this as ‘lazy dating’ and men, often when you do this, you are losing points!
Making a simple plan for a date does not have to be hard and today I have two resources for you that may help ease the pain:
Suggestion #1: My friend Lyn started a website called, ‘Not Just Another Guide‘ which can be found at: http://www.notanotherguide.com/. It has locals describe their favorite spots in a particular neighborhood and you can access to this information for free! One blog even describes 5 NY seduction spots. When I asked Lyn how she happened upon this brain child she said that honeymooner friends were visiting New York but she could not meet up with them. By proxy she typed up a one page description of places that they should go and they followed it and had an amazing time! This led Lyn to think that locals have the most personal and best travel information as to what to see and why. The guides on her webpage are just one page so they are quick to read and easy to follow in just a day.
There are at least three great uses for her website:
1- You can look up a neighborhood in the city and hear a personal recommendation for restaurants and things to do in minutes. It’s free to check out and great for local last minute date ideas.
2- If you want to take your date on a mini break or take a vacation to a spot you do not know well you can look up itineraries for free on this site as well and decide where to spend your time.
3- Lastly, if you love to write, want to be published or wish to share your favorite spots, you can submit a one page description of your favorite locales. Check out her website for more information about writing a guide. It is easy to do!
Resource #2 is called www.yelp.com . On this website you can check out a particular restaurant you are considering and read about other’s experiences of it or, if you type in your zip code you can check out suggested restaurants or date spots right around there. If you have not tried this site, check it out.
With just these two simple suggestions you can find a date idea in minutes. So happy planning!
My Best in Love,
