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.

"Many good ideas, for all types of personalities, from the
conservative to the not-so-weak at heart. Some pretty
outrageous ones thrown in there. Well worth the
cost."
Marc Tremblay, Estevan Saskatchewan
"I found new and different ways to connect with the other
sex without resorting to old clichés, and your ideas for
unusual dates and activities were very welcome. I
particularly liked the date recycling party idea and plan
to have one myself."
Diane Barrett, Vanier Ontario
