Yard Sale-ing


This date is especially for those who have difficulty scheduling dates for Friday/Saturday nights.

Summer, Saturday mornings are the prime time for yard sales. I know you are probably thinking, “Yard sales?? Really??” but there are a lot of fun things to do and see at yard sales. Just exploring can be an adventure in and of itself! Enjoy yourselves as you search for hidden treasures, humorous things, and old childhood memories. To throw an extra spin on it, each of you can start with a few dollars and see who can score the best buy!

Not only is this date free (or extremely cheap) but it is creative. It will give you a chance to talk and have fun in an open and laid back environment.


There are several places to find out where yard sales are going to be held or you can just drive around until you find some that look promising.


Provo Garage Sales Search

KSL Classifieds (Search yard sales within _____ miles of wherever you live.)

Most larger cities/communities have yard sale Facebook pages or check Craigslist.

Let's Go Fly a Kite


I can't say this idea is mine. I stole it from a friend who tried it out and said it was a huge success. The weather is starting to warm up and most days have an ideal spring breeze to fly kites. Find a park with some wide open spaces (best to avoid the trees and power lines) and have some fun!

I am assuming most of you don't have kites stocked in your closets for such occasions. So, I did some research.
        * Dollar Tree (or I am guessing most dollar stores) carry kites for $1.00. Although I think you will
           probably get what you pay for there.

        * Walmart and Target also carry kites ranging from $5.00 to $20.00 depending on what you want
           to spend. They also carry do-it-yourself kite kits if you want to take the date to a whole other
           level.


Happy Dating!

Welcome Back!


Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, 

This blog was started a little over a year ago by my dear friend, Colleen. Since then, she has found a wonderful man and graduated from our lovely singles ward. Because I have yet to be so lucky, I have decided to continue on with this blog. (We singles need to stick together and help each other out!) As always, it will be focused on dating ideas, advice from the ladies to the gentlemen, and vice versa. I hope you find this informative, yet entertaining. Let’s face it- we all have some pretty good dating stories.

Please feel free to submit dating advice or dating suggestions to dearladiesandgentlemen@gmail.com (All suggestions and advice will remain anonymous.)

Love, 
Jess
