The art of dating is not just about earth-shaking ideas to make your beloved go weak in the knees. For people like me (consistently out of money a good ten days before payday) it is as much about not blasting a gaping hole in my pocket. In any case, a date need not be expensive to be good. Don't take my word for this. This comes from Michael Webb in his book 300 Creative Dates. Michael is a romance expert featured in almost all major newspapers in the US, dozens of leading magazines and over 500 radio and TV shows including Oprah, The 700 Club and Men Are From Mars - Women Are From Venus. He is also an author of 11 books, his first bestseller being The Romatic's Guide (an ebook version of this comes free with 300 Creative Dates).

300 Creative Dates is a book that contains hundreds of charming, quick-to-plan dates. The best part is that all these creative ideas cost just between US$5-US$20. It's budget dating at its best. The book also helps you chose the most appropriate date to suit an occasion. Whether you are looking for a creative way to ask someone out, make a grand first impression or just make your partner fall in love with you all over again, 300 Creative Dates offers a perfect idea.

Another thing I liked about 300 Creative Dates is the part on the worst (and most common) dating ideas that can sink your chances for good. My first date with my wife was the usual movie + dinner combo and 13 years later we still avoid talking about it. After going through this book I realized how foolish it was to have such expansive first contact with so little to make it meaningful in terms of personal interaction. I am yet to come across someone who does not take a date seriously. If you take it for granted you better not be there. A dating disaster and rejection can take a pretty solid toll on anybody's self-esteem. You think you would like to avoid that heartache for good? Go here!

Now, in case you are really serious about how you come across to the opposite sex, here are two more great books to put your best foot forward on a date. Do check them out! Be good, be happy, be irresistible and be loved. Happy dating!
