Saturday in the Park

Man, is it hard to think up new things to do. Especially when you’re in the first stages of dating, and you’re trying to keep it exciting enough to get asked back. How many clubs are there in any one city? How many times can you go to the movies, or the restaurants that you both like?

If you’re really getting serious about this other person, and you think that it could lead to something a little more on the permanent side, here’s an idea you might want to try. Get personal. That doesn’t mean get into the other person’s business (unless they offer that). It means be personal. Share yourself.

For instance, would you rather go to Sea World than Saw XXIII? Say so. Make it known what you like to do. This is an outward expression of who’s really lurking inside. So what’s the risk?

Well, this other person may not be interested. They may disagree with your choices. They may not share your passion for bass fishing. So be it. At least they know who you are. And if they disagree, ask them what they would rather do. Make it a genuine discussion.

Next thing you know, you’re finding out all sorts of things about this person that you never even knew. What a person likes reflects what they are like, and this can lead down the road to discovering what makes them tick.

At day’s end, you may find that you are closer than ever. And all because you wanted to go to the park instead of go parking.
