Description

* New edition, revised and updated . . .

These 52 carefully planned outings lead Clevelanders away from the tired old dinner-and-a-movie routine and into a realm of romantic discovery.

Here are plenty of options—from a simple lunch hour to a luxurious full day together, and in all price ranges, from totally free to truly decadent. They'll pique a wide range of interests: activities include a wintery sleigh ride followed with hot chocolate by a cozy fire; stargazing at an observatory; ballroom dancing; “love golf;” . . . even target shooting!

Successful romance doesn't have to be hard work. This guide lightens the workload and lets you concentrate on having fun together. Use these outings like recipes: start with the suggested ingredients, follow the instructions, and then savor an enjoyable outing for two. Reuse the recipes you like again and again by sprinkling in new ingredients. (Variations are supplied for each outing, or you can add your own ideas.)

Reviews

Carey builds the outings like she was assembling a fine meal. — Ashtabula Star Beacon

Includes dates for those with money to spare, those with no money at all, sports fanatics, theater enthusiasts, history buffs and more, for every season and time of day. It's a valuable handbook for planning dates and an effective jumping-off point for those who prefer to add their own personal touch . . . If you follow her directions, organizing these dates practically is a no-brainer. The tough part is choosing among them . . . an invaluable resource for everything from the perfect pre-proposal evening to a solution for those aggravating “What do you want to do? . . . I don't know, what do you want to do?” conversations. — The Bulletin
