A Date at the Zoo?

Looking for somewhere to take a date when you are first starting to date. Out to dinner is nice but a little to rigid, clubs are great if you don't want to hear what each other is saying. Here is a great idea that might just show a little of your sensitive side. Take your date to the zoo. The zoo has lots of things to look at and the atmosphere is relaxed. You can take your time and wander around giving both of your plenty of time to talk. You also get to see if your date is comfortable around children and crowds. The zoo is also a great help in starting conversations as their are several animals to talk about and give you opinion on. Find out what each others favorite animal is and if the date goes well you could send your date a little stuffed animal of their favorite for a little added romance. Pick a day when the kids are at school so the crowds might be a little smaller and plan on spending the day there, no rush just walking and talking and viewing. In my opinion this is one of the less stressful dates you can go on.

What to do with your stuffed animals during sex..

Does you partner have stuffed animals that they keep on the bed. You might think this is a little childish, but hold on. Have you ever thought to use these animals as sexual aids? Don't get to disgusted, just yet. Have you ever been to the liberator shop and saw all the different pillows that they have to get your partner and you into different positions? Now are you starting to get the picture. Think of that great big lion they keep on your bed and how you could bend someone over that and have your way with them. The bigger the stuffed animal the better, but think about sticking the smaller ones under the small of the back or to use as props for other parts of your body. Changing the angle of penetration makes the act of sex seem very different and exciting. Not to mention most stuffed animals are soft and feel good on the skin. I have even seen some stuffed animals that have a compartment for hiding sex toys inside them so they are close and ready to use.

Flavored Toothpaste give your mouth and hers a new sensation.

Want to keep your partner guessing? Well if you haven't noticed, toothpaste now comes in several different flavors. Everything from peach to your basic mint. The great part is they are not that expensive either, they cost about the same as your normal toothpaste. I suggest getting several different flavors so that each time you kiss your partner they get a new sensation. I particular enjoy the cinnamon flavor. This could also promote healthier teeth, I mean if your going to brush more to give your lover a different flavor. Maybe the dentist should use this tactic on their patience.

This is one thing you can do to spice up your kissing. We have many different ways to spice up our sex life, or how we spend our time. Kissing has always just been kissing, sure there are several ways to kiss but never any kissing aids. Not any longer though. Kissing now has a partner and it's name is flavored toothpaste. Get down to your local store a pick up a couple of different flavors today, and get your partner guessing what flavor you kiss will be next.

Help Someone Out!

One thing that will show your partner what a great person you are is to help someone else out. Next time you see someone loading up their groceries lend a helping hand. Make sure to ask if it's okay first, you don't want to be a creepy person. Then help load up their groceries. You could also stop and help someone out with car problems or with a flat tire. It can be as simple as helping a child put their chain back on their bike or helping out a friend with a cook out. Just look for anything that would help someone out. Don't expect anything in return, the simple feeling you get should be enough. I use to drive around in my father's truck that had a snow plow on the front and help scoop out peoples drive ways. They always offered me money but I never accepted any the feeling was enough. Once your partner sees that you are truly doing this to simply help other out they will see you in a different light.

Work!

When you and your partner perform a task together that benefits both of you should reward your partner in some way or other. Take them to dinner, massage their back, or simple put make them feel really good.

Find a small place with live Music

There is something romantic about sitting in a small place with a single performer playing. It screams romance. The beauty of the situation is that you have some great background music and you can still have a in depth conversation. This is great for a first date also as it gives you a starting point of conversation as you discuss the music the artists is playing. The atmosphere at someplace like this is usually relaxed and allows you to feel more comfortable. Some of these artists might even take request from the audience.

Do a little research into the kind of music that will be played, you can ask someone that works at the venue they will usually have a good idea. Also find a place that has some character and has been in business a while, that way you know what you will be getting. Newer places are still trying to find their market so they might have different types of performers each night. When all else fails look for a place that plays the blues.

Okay you have the formula, now go out and find your little hole in the wall. Soon you will be staring into each others eyes while someone strums on a beat up guitar. Sipping drinks and having good conversation what more can you ask for?

Back Off

Sometimes in a relationship it is tough to know when you need to be helpful and when you need to back off. Try and always listen to your partner they will tell you if they need space of not. Now sometime they will say they want space and not really mean it. This is where it gets tricky. You have to read the signs for example if they are mad at you and need space, give it to them. If something tragic happened in their life, they might need some space but don't get to far away. Every situation is different and so is everyone else, some people need more space then others.

Now that I think I have confused you, let me lay this on you. If you are one of those people that need space and your partner is the opposite then you have a challenge ahead of yourself. You have to find a way to get your space and be there for you partner at the same time. I didn't say it was going to be easy. You have to find that fine line in either situation and try to balance yourself on it. We don't want you to compromise your values but we don't want you to hurt someone else's feelings either. Especially if that other person is the one you love.
