Seen on Canadian television, Let's Do Something is a compilation of more than 1,000 creative date ideas and tips to avoid the "dinner-movie date" rut, at home or on trips, alone, with pals, someone new or your beloved. Sections include: For Couples (romance), For Singles, Indoor Dates, Outdoor Dates, Romantic Resources, Date Planning.

Who it's for:
  • Single people who are on their own

  • Long-term partners who want to rekindle the romance in their relationships
  • Groups of friends, pals, traveling companions

  • Couples who are madly in love or want to rekindle the magic


How to Use This Resource
  • Refer to it when someone says,"What do you want to do?"
  • Let your partner know what you'd like: check the boxes next to the items that appeal to you and give the page or book to your partner to see
  • Find out what your partner likes: Give your partner a pencil and this book and request that it be returned to you with items checked that appeal to him or her.
  • Spend a lazy afternoon going through the book together with two pencil colors to indicate each other's preferences
  • Use the ideas to inspire your own creativity: Combine items from different sections depending on your mood, preferences and budget
  • Take charge of your social life if your partner doesn't
  • Find exciting activities that are free or low cost
  • Become more creative, spontaneous, playful and romantic
  • Get in touch with that "inner child" who didn't get to play earlier in life
  • Try more interesting activities that use local resources
  • Experience the anticipation of upcoming events
  • and maybe even revive a "ho hum" relationship.


The Story Behind the 1000 Great Dates

When I was dating I found that no matter how creative the men were in their careers, they weren't so creative when it came to date activities. So when someone asked me out I had a list of three specific things we could do, ready at my finger tips. They liked that they didn't have to think about what we could do, they were happy just making the arrangements. As my list became longer I added boxes next to each idea so they could check off the ideas they liked best. Once I did the same, we had a customized list of activities that appealed to us both.

About this time, the Learning Annex asked me to conduct a class called 50 Romantic and Playful Things to Do in Toronto. I said, "What, only fifty?" The list wasn't just a list of places: I added a twist ... something to make your time at the location more memorable.

When my students asked for it, I published a little booklet of 101 Romantic and Playful Things to Do. Then it became 401, and then 501. I stopped at 1001 which includes other ideas like gifts and resources.

I actually published two books: Let's Do Something Besides Dinner and a Movie, and Romantic and Playful Toronto, which had the same content but contained places and contact information specific to Toronto. It was ideal for both Toronto residents and visitors to Toronto. It was perfect for guests who stayed at my Author's Bed & Breakfast.
