2. This Week’s Ask Our Staff
This week, we discuss the dos and don’ts of love’s holiday. Among our morsels of sage advice: don’t call your sweetheart by your ex’s name, (unless, of course, he/she/it is into that sort of thing).
Seriously though, here’s a real sneak peak:
Do make the effort. This should go for all your dates, but let’s face it: in New York City, everyone thinks those overpriced prix fixe menus at restaurants are the way to go. We’re here to tell you that there are cheaper options that will look like more of an effort and a more romantic setting. Guys: do you rarely cook dinner for her? Go on epicurious.com and find a dish that she’ll be amazed to see you made. Make it a surprise when she arrives home from work. This is just one of the old-fashioned ideas that we love, but remember to make it specific to your date. This also includes gifts and cards, people! Remember the mix tapes you used to make? Take her iPod (or buy her a new one – they’re pretty inexpensive now) and put all her favorite music on there, including one playlist with songs for that evening. Making a craft-y gift like a scrapbook is perfect and surprisingly simple (use pics from your dates, print out logos and pics from the places you’ve been from the net and paste it in a blank book with a beautiful cover. Easy!)

3. What’s New at DateSpaces.com
Did you know that you can add a picture to your profile? Simply log in, go to “My DateBook” and click the “edit” button next to your username. Where it says “Avatar,” you can upload your picture. Or, if you prefer, use a picture of your favorite celebrity. Careful, though. We’ve already taken Candace Cameron and Scott Baio, so back off…
Happy Dating!
