This coming weekend I will have the pleasure of talking to single, young adults about creative dating. Some might see this as a less than desirable topic. Less face it, sometimes dating can be hard, and filled with heartache, but if you don’t want to end up alone for the rest of your life, you’re going to have to attempt the whole dating scene. Spending time with a perspective mate is the only way you’re ever going to find out if you’re compatible.

As for being creative, the sky’s the limit. Focus on the person you are trying to woo–what do they like to do? If this is a first date, I’m afraid those take blind courage, but just remember, a good date leaves plenty of opportunity for talking.

One of the coolest creative dates I saw was when a boy had two of his friends dress up like 1940’s mob characters. They showed up at the girl’s door with plastic guns and a blind fold. They told everyone present to “forget about it” as they blindfolded the girl and took her away for a secret Italian themed dinner.

What’s the funnest date you’ve ever been on? I’d love your feedback. The more examples I have will make my class this weekend that much better.
