Tips for a great date

Have you ever wondered if what you know about dating is accurate? Consider the following paragraphs and compare what you know to the latest info on dating.

People in long-term relationships, whether they are married or dating, often complain about getting into a rut. Your relationship may have started off with the great burst of passion and excitement but perhaps it began to wane because life is busy and work can where you out by the end of the day.

If you're in a dating relationship that seems to be in a rut, or wonder why you can't keep a long term relationship exciting anymore, perhaps you need to go back to the beginning. That doesn't mean you need to break up with your current partner and find someone new, it means you need to refresh the relationship with exciting and spontaneous activities.

When you look back on a period of your life, what is it that you remember? Is it the average day-in, day-out activities? Not likely. It is more likely those fun and spur-of-the-moment times when you did things that were hilarious or scary or new. That's what it means to go back to the beginning of a relationship, when everything you do is spontaneous and new.

Next time you and your girlfriend or boyfriend are deciding to do something on Friday, don't settle for dinner-and-a-movie. Do something different! Here are some ideas:

If your dating facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important dating information slip by you.

* Play paintball
* Rent a classic car
* Go skydiving
* Have a picnic

Or surprise your date with something spontaneous:

* Start a water fight
* Go for a romantic boat ride and tip the boat
* Blindfold your date and take them somewhere they never been
* Surprise your date at work just as they're finishing up for the day

Relationships fail for many reasons. One of the saddest reasons is that people simply drift apart because the other person doesn't excite them anymore. It doesn't have to be that you're your relationship, whether dating or married, can thrive when it is filled with adventures that the two of you share as you build memories together.

You'll look back on your time together with fondness as you consider the many fun and spontaneous things you did together. But doing those things is a choice. Choose to return to the beginning of your relationship and have fun again!

The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you'll be glad you took the time to learn more about dating.
