- Find out what your partner likes: Give your partner a pencil and this book and request that it be returned to you with items checked that appeal to him or her.

- and maybe even revive a "ho hum" relationship.
The Story Behind the 1000 Great Dates
When I was dating I found that no matter how creative the men were in their careers, they weren't so creative when it came to date activities. So when someone asked me out I had a list of three specific things we could do, ready at my finger tips. They liked that they didn't have to think about what we could do, they were happy just making the arrangements. As my list became longer I added boxes next to each idea so they could check off the ideas they liked best. Once I did the same, we had a customized list of activities that appealed to us both.
About this time, the Learning Annex asked me to conduct a class called 50 Romantic and Playful Things to Do in Toronto. I said, "What, only fifty?" The list wasn't just a list of places: I added a twist ... something to make your time at the location more memorable.
When my students asked for it, I published a little booklet of 101 Romantic and Playful Things to Do. Then it became 401, and then 501. I stopped at 1001 which includes other ideas like gifts and resources.
I actually published two books: Let's Do Something Besides Dinner and a Movie, and Romantic and Playful Toronto, which had the same content but contained places and contact information specific to Toronto. It was ideal for both Toronto residents and visitors to Toronto. It was perfect for guests who stayed at my Author's Bed & Breakfast.

conservative to the not-so-weak at heart. Some pretty
outrageous ones thrown in there. Well worth the
cost." Marc Tremblay, Estevan

"I found new
and different ways to connect with the other sex without
resorting to old clichés, and your ideas for unusual dates

date recycling party idea and plan to have one
myself." Diane Barrett, Vanier
