It’s the time of the year to dress like whoever we want. We can be a vampire, we can be a zombie, or even a member of the royal family. It’s always fun during Halloween. But aside from the events and parties, did you know that it’s actually one of the best times of the year to find a date?

It May Be Easier For You To Find A Date During Halloween

Back in the early twentieth century, did you know that Halloween was celebrated with lesser emphasis on spooky houses and scary monster costumes? Believe it or not, it’s emphasis was more on courtship.

It was an event where the opportunity for love spread in the air. The celebration included invitations, decorations, and maintaining social relationships. While the men were in a prank-ish mood, the ladies were more concerned with merry-making.

The men would attend parties put together by the ladies and then play games that potentially revealed romance.

Fast Forward To Today

Now, the scene may have changed but the merry-making spirit still remains. Halloween is proving to still be one of the best times in the year to find a date, and here’s why:

1. It’s A Good Ice Breaker

Questions similar to: “What or who are you supposed to be?” will be very common. This will be your in. You don’t have to think about what type of conversation you’re going to go with because it’s Halloween.

If the costume isn’t the focus, you can always find a date by striking up a conversation about how Halloween is celebrated. For example, if you’re chatting with a woman from Europe, you can ask what it’s like when it’s Halloween in their town.

2. The Allure Of The Mask

Who doesn’t want a little bit of mystery when finding a date? Whenever we wear costumes, sometimes, it’s much easier for us to approach someone at parties. Grab the chance to do so while your costume still gives you the allure of mystery.

3. Social Events Both Online And Offline

You don’t have to look far and wide for ladies who might be interested in you because Halloween is still a time for social events. There are plenty of parties for grown-ups that you can join, especially online.

While the air is still crisp with the essence of Halloween, try your luck at love. You might just be surprised by how many women are willing to converse with you. For more dating tips, check out the rest of our blog.

Often times, when a couple shares a life together, they become unaware that their significant other also needs their attention. It’s understandable to sometimes focus on work, friends, yourself, and family, but our partner shouldn’t be in the back seat. This is why sincere words that can make any woman feel special or loved can go a long way.

Practice Saying These Phrases To Make Her Feel Special

The phrases that you can use to make your loved one feel special can actually do more for your relationship. Because you’re giving your partner some attention, she will likely do the same for you. This can result in a closer bond that renews the spark that you may have already lost. Without further ado, here are the phrases that you need to practice:

Phrase #1: “Life has definitely been better because of you.”

When you make her feel like your life has improved, it validates all the effort that she has done to make you feel taken care of. This phrase will make her feel appreciated.

Phrase #2: “What do you think about this?”

We don’t usually ask our significant other’s opinion most of the time, but make it a habit to do so. It will make her feel wanted. It will make her feel that her opinion matters to you.

Phrase #3: “The boys loved your guacamole last Thursday.”

Do your friends give your partner compliments? Make sure to let her know. Women feel extra special when your friends actually recognize her efforts. It could be a compliment to her cooking or a compliment about how clean your house is. Whatever it is, it’ll make her feel accepted.

Women Need Validation Just Like You Do

The best thing about these phrases is that the more you practice them, the more aware you become. They don’t just make your girl feel special, but they also make you focus some of your attention on your girl. As mentioned, this might be the key to bringing the spark in your relationship back.

You don’t have to follow the exact phrases listed above too. You can change them up a bit as long as you understand the general idea of how the phrases should make her feel. For more tips about improving relationships, check out more of our blog.

“Oh those summer nights”, sang Olivia Newton John and John Travolta in ‘Grease’, as they lived their very own strong summer romance. And there really is nothing like falling head over heels with a stranger under the scorching sun on a breezy Mediterranean beach. The question is: how can you make it last?

A Summer Romance Can Become A Lasting Kind Of Love

The warm sun will go and the beautiful Med island will be a beautiful memory soon, as you sit by your office window wrapped in your woolly jumper and watching the autumn leaves fall. But that warm, fuzzy feeling inside doesn’t have to go with them. This is how.

Make Beautiful Memories

The number one thing to do once you realize you’d like that girl to stay in your life come September is to make sure to have as much fun as you can during your time together. Live for the moment, get a little crazy, and create exciting memories you can get back to when you’re far away and thinking of each other.

Build Foundations

Other than your favorite cocktail, if you want to lay the foundations for a deeper relationship, you need to connect with your girl on a deeper level. You may not want to share your darkest secrets and fears with her, but make the effort to share a little about yourself and let her be vulnerable and open up to you too.

Don’t Judge

Quick judgments are a real threat when it comes to a summer romance. You may see a person who’s looser and acts more freely than she does in her everyday life, for example. Just because you’ve spent 5 minutes together, don’t fool yourself thinking you know her well enough to pass judgment. It may feel like you’ve known her for years, but it’s probably been something closer to a week.

Arrange Your Next IRL Date

The best way to keep your girl close is to plan a long-term date with her. Is your favorite band playing in her city in October? Buy tickets for it and make sure you stick to your plan to see her again soon. Or you can arrange a trip together, even if you’re on a budget. This is the way to keep things hot, even when the temperatures start to drop.

Don’t Dwell On The Summer Experience

It may be tempting to keep referring to the summer you spent together, but it’s not the best way to move forward with your relationship. We’re not saying that you should never refer to it – by all means, it’s where it all began and you should cherish it, but dwelling on it too much is a little sad and a sign your relationship is stuck in the past. It’s far better to talk about what the future holds, and share your present any way you can.

Use Any And Every Way To Connect

Thank goodness, modern technology is a real savior when it comes to long-distance relationships. Use the Anastasia Date chat app, use your camera, write letters; any way you can effectively communicate with her should be employed for your higher cause of keeping the fire alive.

Express Yourself

Don’t be afraid to share your feelings and thoughts. Be honest, show her you mean business and make her understand you’re not deterred by distance and that she is your priority. Don’t be shy about being as expressive as you like, as long as she’s into it too. Make your chats as saucy as you both feel like.

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and there is bound to be some of that after your summer romance. But that doesn’t mean you should let your feelings (and hers) wither away as the summer holidays become a fading memory. A summer romance can be a solid winter relationship if you really want it to.

If you’re eager to experience your own summer romance, perhaps a visit to AnastasiaDate is all you need to do. For more relationships and dating advice, continue here.

The sun is out and so are you. When the summer days (and, more importantly, nights) get too hot for comfort, take your date/fling/ significant other on a fun summer date that is certain to keep the spark going.

Enjoy The Hottest Season With These Fun Summer Date Ideas

It’s the season when we all want to wear as little as possible and be out as much as we can (just make sure you are respecting the social distancing!). The possibilities for fun days and nights out are endless, but here are some of the coolest (or hottest, if you like) ideas for a fun summer date.

Ride the wave

Can you think of a better way to cool off than by hitting the beach? We’re not just talking about swimming, though. Be more adventurous and try surfing instead. If you don’t know how it’s done, take up a joint lesson and have fun learning the secrets to a perfect hang ten, bonding in the process.

Show Off Your Skating Techniques

If you’re not the water-sports kind of guy, make the most of the absence of snow, rain or cold winds for the perfect chance to do some skating. Impress your girl with your technique, or enjoy a romantic skating stroll at the beach during the sunset.

Take a tour of an ice-cream factory

If you and your lady are ice-cream fanatics (who isn’t?), a tour of an ice-cream factory is the perfect combination of learning about the way the most loved summer dessert is made and enjoying yourselves as you try the different tastes of ice-cream available there.

See the city from a hot air balloon

Summer weather is just perfect for a ride on a hot air balloon, so lift your spirits – and your bodies – as you ride one. Enjoy the city views from up there in the sky as you take the best Instagram pictures together.

Go on a cocktail-tasting bar crawl

Pick your favorite refreshing cocktail, like a deliciously frozen strawberry daiquiri – and spend the night ordering and drinking just that in a number of your favorite bars (the more you can visit, the more interesting the competition). Place your marks and decide which one wins at the end of the night. If you’re a lightweight drinker, you may want to be careful how much of your cocktails you actually down, though.

Enjoy a film under the stars

Nothing screams “summer” more than an open-air rooftop cinema. Wait for the sun to set before you engage in one of the most wonderful ways to spend a summer night. A great film and your girl by your side under the beautiful starry sky; what more can a man ask for?
