Hello and Welcome to TEN GREAT FIRST DATES-

The idea of writing about Ten Great First Dates came to me because I was tired of meeting men in coffee shops. Although most of the men I met were very nice men (no creeps or psychopaths); I just didn’t click with them and it became terribly depressing.

I have nothing against going for coffee once in awhile. But I think this should be saved as an adjunct to some other activity, like after seeing a movie or simply hanging out.

But first dates aren’t about hanging out. Nor are they about getting to know everything about the person’s history in half an hour. First dates are about seeing if you like the person enough to want to have a second date with him and if that doesn’t happen because let’s face it, it rarely does, in the meantime, you might as well have a good time.

It occurred to me that there were lots of alternatives to the stereotype coffee shop date and so I began to search for these places. In doing so, I discovered something interesting. I was getting to know my city in ways I hadn’t before. I was also getting to know myself and the kind of man I was looking for.

That is great in itself.

Do take time to click on the links. There’s some interesting stuff there.

Although they are set in Montreal they can easily be transferred to any city or town. They are mainly ideas. I hope that you enjoy these posts as much as I enjoyed creating them .

I also hope that you’ll enjoy reading my stories and that we will get to meet again in my upcoming books: Missi’s Dating Adventures and The Dating Club.

Finally, thank you so much for stopping by and do leave comments if you feel like it. I’d love to hear about your own first date experiences.

Warm Regards,
