Happy independence time of year 211th ward;
I hope you all have had a wonderful 4th of July weekend and for all of those who went out of town, welcome back. I wanted to start off this week by clearing up a few questions that I was asked concerning the Ward Dating Activity that will be held this month.
How often will we be holding them? I was planning on holding them every Tuesday night (that we have enough couples). Last week not enough people signed up, so we did not have one on the 1st. So far we have a few openings for the 8th so if you would like to come please let me know.
Are all of the couples are going to stay together the whole time, or are we going to split up? The activities are designed to have all the couples stay together the whole time. So, guys won’t have to worry about having to entertain the girl all by yourselves and girls don’t have to worry that they will be abandoned.
Is the date free? For the girls, yes the date is free. For the activity this month the guy will be spending about $3. Considering everyone will be getting dinner, that is not bad.
Hopefully that will clear up a few questions that some of you might still be having. If you are interested in going to a Ward Dating Activity let me know. If want to go but Tuesday night will not work for you let me know and I will get a group together to go another time. I have already had a few people come to me about doing it another night.
Since I have been set apart, I have been noticing more things out there on dating. Recently when I was logging on to check my e-mail I noticed an article entitled; Five Signs of a Great Date. For those of you who would like to view the article in its fullness, there will be a link on the blog. A girl was asked to tell five signs of a great dat and a guy was asked to do the same. They each cover 5 signs; I’m just going to post a few of each of them.
He spent time planning the date. Did he think beyond just asking you out and make a reservation somewhere?
He maintains eye contact throughout the night. Your eye contact should coincide with a nice ebb and flow of conversation, not just him or you doing all the talking.
You both can't wait to talk to each other again -- and I stress actually talk, not send emails or text messages. A great first date always leaves something to the imagination...
Your date laughs the whole time you're together. This is especially good if she's laughing with you and not at the lettuce between your front teeth. If your date isn't laughing, then you're not entertaining her or she's not interested.
When you're out on the town with your date, she sees her girlfriends and insists they come over and meet you. This is a very good sign. It means you just passed the "good enough to be seen with in public" test.
Those are just some things to think about. Before I end today, I have a question to pose to the guys. After posting the Hot’s and Not’s of dating, a girl asked me: what things have girls done on dates that have impressed you and not impressed you? Feel free to use this paper, e-mail me, send a note after ward prayer, or make a post on the blog.
