I was getting a very odd feeling about my relationship with my partner. We had been together for nearly a decade without any problems. Suddenly, I felt like we were slipping apart, or at least we didn't seem to be as happy together as we once were. This really bothered me, and I set out to figure what went wrong. 

Fortunately, I discovered the problem in our relationship before I shelled out thousands of dollars to see a counselor (which I was prepared to do).  

The problem was simple. We stopped having fun dates like we used to. Dinners and a movie, to be frank, are boring. They are a great escape but don't do much for relationships.

Then, I came across Michael Webb's book, 300 Creative Dates. I fell in love with my darling just by reading all the super, imaginative and fun dates Michael talked about. I could envision us doing exactly what Michael described.
