A few years ago, I was able to use my grandparent’s Mystery Date idea and surprise my sweet love Todd with a mystery trip to Seattle to see the Mariner’s play. I planned the whole trip and told him to pack an overnight bag and hop in the car. I actually told him he was being “kidnapped” although there was no ransom note involved. At first I told him to close his eyes but that didn’t last long (maybe next time I need a blindfold). He had no idea where we were headed although I tried to give a few little clues along the way. I can’t tell you how much fun I had planning the mystery. He was a good sport for going along with the antics and was rewarded with a good game – Mariner’s won!
There’s something to be said about the premise of the Mystery Date. You make him or her feel special and I guarantee that in return you will be made to feel special. Get creative. Plan a surprise. Make today extraordinary!
