Take Advantage of the Halo Effect


Excited about going on a first or second date with someone new, someone who seems more promising than usual?

Scrap the old safe standbys: Dinner, drinks, or coffee.

Take a risk.

Take advantage of the Halo Effect by doing something novel, original, or fun.

The Halo Effect: When you are doing something interesting, your date has more fun, and YOU, by association seem a lot more attractive and interesting.

Thus, improving your chance of making a connection!

So, if your gut is telling you that someone just might be special, forget the bland, short meeting and go for the gold. They are much more apt to notice your golden Halo and think you are worth getting to know more!

Plus, you'll learn much more about true compatibility as their real personality shines through!

Some Halo Date Night Ideas:

- Go drive some Go-Carts
- Have fun at one of those "Paint Your Own Pottery Places"
- Go to the batting range
- Do something seasonal: Pick apples, buy & carve pumpkins,make a Snowman in the park, dye Easter eggs, etc
- Go to the zoo, aquarium, or botanical garden
- Take your dog to the dog park and play Frisbee
- Go bowling
- Go to the mall and make a Bear together at BuildABear Workshop
- Go to a section of town known for their antique shops or art galleries
- And if you must do coffee, grab your Scrabble or Backgammon board and challenge them to a game
