"If You Want Something to Last Forever, You Treat it Differently!"


"If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by." (F. Burton Howard, April 2003)
You can watch the entire talk here:
It's incredible!!!

$20 Date Idea - Not Your Average Pizza Order!


 Find a really unique place in town where it would be really memorable to have a picnic (like a gazebo, a fishing hole, the park, a water tower, etc.).    After setting up, order pizza to be delivered to your random place!    While you're waiting for the pizza to come, enjoy some games or story telling together!

$10 Date - 2nd Hand Store Dress Up!


Each person on the date gets $5. Go to your local 2nd hand store (Saver's, DI, Good Will, etc.).  Give each person 20 minutes or so to find the most hideous outfit they can find FOR THEIR DATE.  After they have put together the outfit and bought them, have a fashion show in the store as you try them on!  Walk out of the store with your new outfit on and wear them the rest of the evening!  This is a blast with just two, even better when there are multiple couples on the date!!!

$5 Date - Ice-block Ice Sculpting


This #cheapdateidea can be done anytime of year!  Buy a couple of ice-blocks from the local grocery store, get out your butter knives, and go to town trying your hand at ice sculpting.  Draw ideas out of a hat and see if your date can guess what you are carving as you go.  You'll definitely want to wear gloves!  If you do this in the summer, do it outside and then eat have some sort of cold refreshment, like an icecream sandwich.  If you do this in the winter, cover the kitchen table and the floor before you start...it'll get messy!  When you're done, makes some hot cocoa and enjoy a few more moments together!

McDonald's Dollar Menu by Candle Light

Put a fun twist on the candle light dinner you are planning.  Have a beautiful table arrangement set up in a place where you can be seen by many people.  Try the median in the middle of the road, a bridge that goes over main street, or in the middle of a huge grassy field at the park.  Dress up in really fancy clothes and then surprise your date with 5 dollar menu items each from McDonalds.  Eat it on really nice dinnerware and use your best manners while eating!  Bon Apetit!

Date Nice People!




“In a dating and courtship relationship, I would not have you spend five minutes with someone who belittles you, who is constantly critical of you, who is cruel at your expense and may even call it humor.”
