Date your Mate Month: Daily Date Idea # 1

May 1, 2014 by Steve

Daily Date Idea May

So May is National Date Your Mate month. 

Did you know that?  Me neither. 

Sometimes I look around the web for special holidays, national days, days in history and such for funny, obscure or interesting ideas for date posts.  Here are a few posts that have come from this exercise:

 Celebrate World Television Day with a Spouse Date

 Share the Love with a Service Date (for National Volunteer Day)

Celebrate Chinese New Year with a Spouse Date

Find Fresh Romance in the Sky (for National Atronomy Month)  

Well in doing this recently I learned that May is National Date Your Mate month. 

You’d have thought I’d know that already. Nope.

But now that I do I want to make the most of it. 

So, for the month of May I will be posting daily.  I will share at least one simple date idea each day.  I may share more at times but never less.  Hope you enjoy.  So here goes….

 


Daily Date Idea # 1

Think chocolate.  

Here are a few ideas to get you going:

  • Buy your spouse’s favorite chocolate and give it as a surprise
  • Plan a date to tour your local chocolate factory
  • Prepare strawberries with fondue chocolate after dinner (when the kids are asleep)
  • Try using the Dating Divas Chocolate Tasting guide and printable

Do you know a friend who might like these ideas?  Use the sidebar and send it their way! :-)
