As we are finishing up this week with dating friends. The last two days are a nice change of pace. A time to just hang out with your friend. Time to talk or just time to be together. These last two days offer new ideas for you to do with your friends. As always I try to keep it unique!
Today instead of taking those clothes to the local thrift store trade them with your friends. You don't need to limit yourself to just clothes. Check your jewlery, perfume or belts! Anything you don't use, will never use or bought on a whim! Your friend may not be the same size but we all speak the language of shoes or purses.
One day may be short notice but give yourself a week to gather up some items. Invite some more friends into the friend swap to get more variety. Set a limit of atleast 1 item per person; for example if you get 6 girls to join you all of you bring atleast 6 items.
Pull out some wine and shop amongst yourselves. Anything leftover although I doubt it could then go to the thriftstore. Have fun with your new to you clothes!

Date 18
Today is another date hanging out with your friend. Another date chatting about dinner last night. Maybe it's a different friend today. Maybe you are fortunate to select a different friend each day!
Today your date is walking. You can go back to the mall if you like. It may be warmer there depending where you live. Otherwise take a walk around the neighborhood. This date doesn't have to end after the walk. By all means I started it go ahead and enjoy yourself. Stay out a little longer.
Have fun! Burn some calories! Enjoy the fresh air wherever you are! Feel free to post a picture of your scenic trip around the neighborhood. Our color changing leaves are almost gone. It went by so quick.

Date 16
Dating with your friend or friends today takes you to the outside world. I haven't been out of the house by myself for an extended amount of time without kids for awhile unless it was a doctors appointment. Even then depending on the appointment they have accompanied me there too. So a trip out and about with a friend sounds like music to my ears.
Take a trip to the mall today. Your mission if you choose to accept it is to have fun exploring the mall or a strip mall. Check out a new store, the new fashions, get you nails done or maybe try on random outfits. This date doesn't have to cost anything. You are in charge of the expenses for this date. You can just stick strictly to window shopping, trying clothes on or even raking up laps on your shoes.
Whatever you choose to do. Have fun doing it!

Date 15
As you know this week is for dating (hanging out) with your friends. These dates should be stress free. They do not require a lot of preparation other than maybe just coordinating a time and possibly a place. Most of the ideas are minimal in cost if at all. That makes it fun in itself too.
Today it is all about a drink! Grab a drink with your friend. The drink is up to your discretion. Coffee, tea, wine. Of course if you choose to meet her at 8 am maybe wine could be converted into a Mimosa with champagne instead.
Cheers to you guys today. Have a good day and toast to your friendship!

Date 14
Dating... sounds good when you say it but when you start sorting out the details it starts to lose that shine. Dating doesn't have to lose its shine. Add some sparkle to your dating life. You can date anyone you want. It's really about a person, place, date and sometimes time doesn't even matter. Last week you dated your partner. This week your dating your friend.
Call up your friend! Your best friend from school, friend from work, neighbor or one the mom's you talk to at the gym. The point of this date is to get out and have fun. The point of this date is to open your eyes to all the available options in front of you.
Today your date is to play games. Hang out with your friend and play games. When was the last time you played a game? Last week with your partner? This week squeeze some casual conversation in, glass of wine and play games. Maybe she's part of a bridge group or you like dominoes. If she's your friend from the gym how about a game of one on one.
Play games or a game with your friend. Let loose and relax. Enjoy yourself!

30 Days of Dating
Who:

Where:
When:
How:
Why:
So this month we are going to focus on dating. Dating in this context is meant to be going somewhere (or participating in an activity) with a person of your choosing whether it is a spouse, girl/boyfriend, parent or child. To make this month and activity most effective you need to make prior arrangements. Set a time, date and place. Ensure money is in order if that is necessary. Verify and confirm a sitter is secured for the duration of the timeframe as well. After all date night wouldn't be so hard to plan for if a lot of us didn't have children. I remember my early 20's every night wasn't date night because I did have to work. But the freedom and independence to come and go as I pleased. No sitter, some weekends wide open from Friday after work till 0700 Monday!
Now that we have the essential needs out the way let's talk about time. A date is usually set for the weekend because it helps celebrate the work week is over. So you can plan as early as Monday for the upcoming Friday if you know your schedule in advance. Everyone has a different work schedule though so if Friday's don't work for you make date night midweek. There are some restaurants that offer deals on Wednesday. (Outback has a No Worry Wednesday) Dates can be any day of the week its all about finding something that works for you. Once you have a date set negotiate a time.
What is it you have decided to do? Do you really have to go out with the rest of the crowd to see a movie at 7:30 pm on a Friday or Saturday? No, catch a matinee on Saturday or Sunday and save yourself a couple bucks. Matinees are the same show except they are cheaper and sometimes less crowded. Lunch stops being served in some restaurants at 4 or 5. Why does date night have to be about dinner and night time? Check on your favorite restaurant and see when dinner starts. You can catch a early dinner before your early show. That equals a win-win and some money leftover for popcorn!
There you go folks. That's all I am giving you today!
Who: Anyone
What: dates and hanging out
Where: anywhere (not just the movies!!)
When: before 4 (and midweek)to save a buck
How: its settled! Plan and follow through.
Why: because we want to have fun!
