A GUIDE TO DATING

A GUIDE TO DATING
BY: JEFF LAKIE
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:

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!
