IDEA # 61
Write an email story with your partner.
Start the ball rolling with an email that
says something like:
Chapter 1:
This is the story of Pete and Kate who
met at a friend's engagement party one
summer afternoon.
The email can then continue to develop
the beginnings of a story which can
be completely fictitious or a combination
of fiction and reality.
Finish your email by saying, "And
now for Chapter 2, its over to you..."
IDEA # 62
Buy a kite and on a windy day find a park
and fly the kite with your partner.
If you can afford it, buy a large kite
that you control with two hand lines.
These kites are great fun.
IDEA # 63
When you and your partner are planning to
go out for dinner, suggest that you
have an 'Adventure Dinner'. Here's how it
works
Set the timer on your stopwatch to count
down twenty minutes. Next, ask
your partner to choose a number between 5
and 10. Lets say she chooses 7.
Give your partner a coin and tell her
that at every 7th intersection, she has to
flip the coin. If it is heads you will
turn left. If it is tails you will turn right.
When your watch timer goes off you have
to both keep a look out for the
nearest place to eat.
This is a fun way to get out and about
and try new places to eat.
IDEA # 64
When you and your partner are going
somewhere special, get your camera,
buy a new roll of film and wait for her
to come out of the house.
When she appears, act like a professional
photographer and go wild taking
pictures of her with the flash. While you
are taking photos, bombard her with
questions as though she was a famous actress
and you are trying to get a
scoop for the magazine you represent.
Not only is this fun but you will also
get some great photos to look back on
together.
IDEA # 65
When your partner is sick at home, take a
day off to look after her.
Rent some videos, make her some soup,
wrap her up in a blanket and just be
with her.
IDEA # 66
When you are having dinner one night, ask
your partner about the things she
has always wanted to do.
Later on, write these things down so you
don't forget them and over time try
and help make them happen. For example
she may say that one thing she
has always wanted to do is swim with
dolphins. Find out where she can do
this and organize it for her as a special
surprise.
IDEA # 67
Rent the video, "An Affair To
Remember". Buy some popcorn, champagne
and chocolate covered strawberries and
have a special film night at home.
IDEA # 68
Go to the drive in but instead of sitting
in the car, spread a picnic blanket on
the ground. Light a candle and buy popcorn.
Cuddle your partner and enjoy
the film.
IDEA # 69
Create a personalized magazine cover for
your partner. To do this, get hold
of a good quality photo of her and a copy
of a popular entertainment
magazine.
Take these two items to a print shop or
graphic design agency. Ask them to
scan your partner's photo and develop a
magazine cover with the lead story
being, "The 30 most beautiful women
of 2003".
When you get the cover, stick it on the
front of a real magazine and ask your
local shop owner whether you can place it
in the magazine rack. Organize to
meet your partner at the shop before
going out. When she arrives, tell her
that you are just looking for a magazine.
Let her browse the rack and
discover her magazine.
IDEA # 70
Fill the trunk of your car with helium
balloons. Drive to a romantic spot in the
country to go for a walk. The ideal spot
is somewhere up high with a clear
view of the surrounding countryside.
Get out of the car and act as though you
are about to set off for your walk.
Make sure your partner is closer to the
car than you and then throw her the
keys and ask if she can get your jacket
from the trunk while you tie your
shoelace.
When she opens the boot the balloons will
be released. You can also place a
sign saying, "I Love You" on
the inside of the trunk so that it will be revealed
when the trunk opens.
IDEA # 71
On a special occasion create a unique
present for your partner by buying two
white t-shirts and some fabric paint.
Draw half a heart and the letters LO on
one t-shirt and the half a heart and the
letters VE on the other t-shirt.
When you walk down the street holding
each other close, the heart will be
made whole and your message of love
revealed.
An example is shown below.
IDEA # 72
On a hot summers day, buy two large water
pistols and take them to the
beach with you.

IDEA # 73
Share your food with your partner. When
you go out for a meal, hold a forkful
up to her mouth and say, "You've got
to try this."
Sharing your food and even feeding each
other is a great way to become
closer as a couple.
IDEA # 74
Compliment your partner in public. If you
are talking in a group and it is

something like, "Kate makes the most
incredible roast." Squeeze her hand
while you are talking about her.

to buy some milk, act as though you

and the wolves but I made it!" and
then give your partner a huge bear hug.
IDEA # 78
