The Ultimate Girl Date Sept. 28, 2011, 3:53 p.m.

Dating is a daunting experience. Tackling the issue of where to take your date can bring you out in a cold-sweat. Some men may retire to the age-old dating activity of a few drinks in a bar, a romantic meal or perhaps even a trip to see a movie. But men, I know you’re bored to bits of dates at the cinema watching the latest rom-com and 2 for 1 dates at Pizza Express, how many more times can you share a Giardiniera, Caesar salad and a bottle of Frascati? But fear not. Here’s a little bit of essential information that should see you getting results and turn you from approaching dating with trepidation to mastering the art of wooing the fairer sex.

Women are suckers for a man with a plan. Our female escorts agree that if you show us a bit of organisation and thought, then you’ll instantly impress us. A date that shows little thought will most likely flounder but a man that has carefully conjured up a dream date will automatically get a big tick on the metaphorical checklist. If you really wanna impress your date or perhaps treat your female escort and make her think you’re really clued up, then here are a few different, fun date ideas that will hopefully impress her.

A Gig. It has some of the same benefits as going to see a chick flick, as talking is very limited, but body contact is almost inevitable. Even if it is to see The Saturdays or another all girl band, it will impress her and show her some of your unselfish qualities. A plus point for you is that you get to enjoy the spectacle, just try to remember to look at your lady every now and then or she may think you’re more interested in the girls on stage than her.

Wine Tasting. This is the perfect excuse to drink more than would normally be acceptable. The flow of wine combined with the lesson in the multitude of grape varities will be an instant bonding activity and after a vino or two the giddiness will soon have you giggling like a pair of school kids.

Alfresco Fare. Think tasty M&S finger foods; houmous, crudites, cucumber sandwiches with the crusts off and a bottle of fruity fizz (alcoholic of course), try a sparkling rose for a truly girly tipple. If you really fancy wowing her, try making something homemade. Maybe some cute little cupcakes, or some freshly baked bread or maybe even something a little more exotic, like some jazzed up couscous with coriander and orange. She’ll think you’re laid back and cultured and appreciate the thought behind it all.

Now you’ve got some new ideas to woo your lady, there are a few things to do before the big event. Decide where you’re going in advance, preparation is everything. Once you’ve decided, call her and tell her where she is going. You don’t have to ruin the surprise entirely, just give her enough information and a little warning and it will be greatly appreciated. While you may only consider your outfit on the night of your date, a lady, especially our array of alluring female escorts, like to plan their outfits in advance, to assure they are always looking their best. Your date would not appreciate turning up to frolic in a field (picnicking) in a short skirt and heels. Show your escort/date that you have some gentlemanly forethought.
