Background on this Bulletin Board

• I was listening to a lot of my residents
  girlfriends talking about the dates that their
  boyfriends take them on and how they would like
  to be surprised more often.  This Bulletin Board
  would be really good for a guys hall during
  February!  I went online and found some really
  cute date ideas, most of them being inexpensive. 
  
• To make the board, just print out the
  presentation on white paper and staple it up to a
  red background.  To add a little more holiday
  spirit I kiddy cornered some florescent pink
  paper behind it. 
• The board is a little dorky but the guys on my
  floor appreciated it and their girlfriends
  thought it was fun too!!

Creative Date Ideas

Tired of the typical dinner and a movie date.
Surprise the woman in your life by showing her
that you are able to be romantic and inventive!
Being creative will impress her and show her that
you care. You can use one date idea or combine a
bunch of them together to make the date your own.

a step further by grabbing a kite at one of the
local gift shops.

place in advance to cut the pizza in the shape
