Date suggestion – “Progressive Anything”

Greg Weller · Nov 5, 2018 ·

 

For an inexpensive date, this is something you could prepare for your spouse.  (I think it works best as a surprise prepared by one person for the other, but I’m sure you could adjust it so the surprises are shared.)

BEFORE DATE NIGHT

Choose a sense (taste, hearing, seeing, touch, smell) that you’d like to focus on.

Choose five locations to have a different activity – it might be different rooms in your house, outside your house, parks, shopping centre cafes, etc.

Pick a particular activity for each place, and prepare it.

Hide it in that location, or in the car boot, or on your person somewhere.

Decide how much you need to tell them so they can be prepared (eg right clothing, right equipment, right shoes, etc)

ON DATE NIGHT

Announce there are five activities (mention the type of activity if you want), and ask them to spin the dice to see what order they are to be done in.

Enjoy!!

Example 1:  For the sense of hearing, we choose five rooms in which we dressed up in different crazes of our life (eg sixties leather jackets, reggae, chubby checker, etc) and did a different karaoke rendition in each room – for an extra giggle, we dressed up for each period (everyone has some of their old clothes right right back in the cupboard, right?)  Have a look at our intro video for this one!! – see below.

Example 2:  One of us put different board games in different rooms, hid them so they weren’t obvious but quickly bought out, rolled the dice, and let the evening roll where it may.

Example 3:  For the sense of taste, try a new different food the other hasn’t tried, with mood lighting included, in each room.

How We Met (With Keith & Anne)

Greg Weller · Nov 5, 2018 ·

Many, many, years ago Anne and I went to the same primary school at Shorncliffe.  I knew of her but didn’t know her, as she was much older than I, being in the class above.  We also lived in adjacent suburbs, only about 1.5kms away.  We attended the same church, but she was in a different Sunday school class, as she was much, much older than I.  So I didn’t really acknowledge her, after all she was a girl. 

However once we were older and in youth group and then young adults, well… I sure noticed her, but she didn’t notice me because I was much, much younger than her.  I thought Anne was the most beautiful creature on earth, however why would she be interested in me I was a Junior Forestry Trainee with a clapped out Datsun 1600 and she was going out with many many older guys from Young adults who all had promising careers, with great big beautiful cars…or so it seemed to me!

Then one weekend, we all went to a church camp, and at that camp we had a disco at night.

Well my best mate, his sister happened to be Anne, and I said to him shyly, “Hey mate, do you think I could ask Anne up for a dance?”  He laughed and said, “Don’t ask me, go ask her.”  So I plucked up the courage, because she really was so much more sophisticated than I and older (one year) and so I swallowed hard and asked her to dance.   She said YES what a surprise!  Well, as soon as we got up to dance, unbeknownst to me, one of my mates put on a slow romantic waltz and so, once I got this beautiful young woman in my arms, the rest is history.

This month we have been married for 45 years.  I must say, my beautiful Annie is “my Special Angel sent from God above.”

That’s how we met!
