Lessons For You And Your Halloween Boo

With Halloween approaching, let’s be kids again and get in the spirit. When I was a kid, Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. An infinite supply of candy, living life as your favorite fictional character, and watching horror movie marathons for days! Who says we still can’t enjoy ourselves on Halloween as an adult? Just don't come to my house dressed as a clown (if you know what's good for you). Here are five date ideas for you and your lover that might spook her into your arms, entice him to do a special trick, and/or add more memories to the forever you wish to share:

1. Dress Up To Get “Spooked” Out Your Clothes – Go pick out a Halloween costume and visit your local haunted house. This works well for the adventurous couples and all of the guys who swear nothing ever scares them. I'm letting y'all know up front that clowns will make me change my zip code. You never know, when an ugly monster jumps out at you two, it may be him jumping in your arms and not the other way around.

2. Jack O Lantern – This is where you two can see the artsy side of one another. Go to a pumpkin patch to select your perfect pumpkin, and come home and carve out your very unique Jack O Lantern. If you’re the competitive type, once you’re finished, post your work on Instagram and ask your friends to vote on their favorite one.

3. Bond Around The Fire – You sleep in the same bed every night. How about turning your backyard or local camping site into a bedroom for an evening and building a bonfire? Try sleeping with nature for the evening. While eating smores and sipping hot cocoa, embrace the ambiance and fall in love with nature. Take in all of the beautiful scenery, share stories that you may have never shared with one another, and once the sun sets, gaze into the stars while cuddled up under the blanket. This will be a night to remember for sure.

4. Treats Plus A Snapshot – Sure, maybe you’re at the age where you don’t want to go house-to-house saying “trick or treat” but there are hundreds of youngsters out there who are anxiously waiting to recite those lines to you. Stock up on candy and prepare to make their night. As all of the precious little children come up to your door with high hopes of their favorite candy getting thrown into their bags, have your camera ready to take pictures of the little critters once they arrive. Kids love to pose.

5. Scary Movie – Turn off your cell phones, make sure the room is dark, have your snacks in bed with you, and pick out horror flicks you’ve never seen before. It’s hard to get scared when you already know what’s coming. You can take in your classic scary joints on another night, but tonight is all about the unknown.

Speaking of the unknown, don’t be afraid to try out a little role playing. You two may have picked out your costumes together, but maybe while he/she is at work you can get a costume for his/her eyes only. Be sure to set the scene, have all of your props, and don’t be stingy with the tricks or the treats — knock ‘em out of their socks...

Happy Halloween
