Here are some inexpensive ways to release your inner cupid:</p><p><br />-Print out a map of the constellation, grab a balnket, pack snacks, then head out for some stargazing.</p><p><br />-Do a little research and conduct your own historic sites tour</p><p><br />-Prepare a meal together- it will be more memorable for havbing created it together</p><p><br />-Good weather is ideal for a coin-flip date. Take a walk with no particular destination and at each intersection, flip a coin. Heads, turn left; tials, right</p><p><br />-Learn a new skill together, like in-line skating, juggling or guitar.</p><p><br />-Lousy weather is great time to melt her heart with chocolate fondue or snuggle up for a popcorn-enchanced movie marathon. Select a favourite or two each, or rent by theme: pirates, superheros, dating</p><p><br />-Do you share a hobby or other interest? Together, you can hunt for fossils, scrounge garage sales or attent a poetry reading</p><p><br />-Romantic picnics can be set anywhere: you backyard, a scenic park or even your living room floor. Don't forget the candles!</p><p><br />-Find a park and fly a kite or see how fast you can make it to the top of the monkeys bars. -Where will it end? At an ice cream palour, of course!</p><p>-Don't have just a date: chronicle the experience with a digital camera. Then create a memory album.</p><p><br /><strong>Remember</strong>, money can't buy a good date-the best one are those spent with someone whose company you enjoy no matter where you are.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3799955507543692534-4527618523666472685?l=ur-loverguide.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05907567054459863535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799955507543692534.post-28817088720875783832008-06-27T10:24:00.000+08:002008-06-27T10:25:27.620+08:00<p align="justify">Every marriage is unique, but most follow a similar path that flows through seven distinct stages.
