Must Love Cats
The Constitution of Love code
If you love someone, then show them and say so. MAKE A STATEMENT
If a kiss is the language of love, then we have a lot to talk about.
The Language of Love
The Methods and Meanings
Holding Hands- We can learn to love each other
A wink - I'm interested others say let's get it on
Slap on the Butt - watch out
Playing with ear- I can't live without you
Arms around waist- I love you too much to let you go
Holding on Tight- Don't let go
pulling hair on head-tell me you love me
Looking into each others eyes- let's get romantic
Kiss on the Cheek- we're friends
Kiss on the hand - I adore you
kiss on the Lips- I love you
Kiss on the shoulder - I want you
Kiss on the ear - I'm horny
Kiss on the neck - Feeling Kinky
Anywhere else - let's get busy
We'll Gently walk, and sweetly talk
till the silent moon shine clearly
I'll grasp thy waist
and fondly prest
swear how I love thee dearly
--Robert Burns
P.S. I Love You

Date IDEA #2
You don't have to go out to 'go out'
If you have a patio, set up the table with 2 taper candles maybe some rose petals
make the dinner yourself, maybe you can even have a friend help you out and serve the 2 of you.
(Romantic & Thoughtful)

People in a relationship tend to sleep better

Date Idea #3
Go do some B & B!
Bowling & Billiards That is!
Bowling
I think bowling is great for a first date.
Its a great icebreaker & it helps you both to be relaxed.
(because you have your mind on the game)
Billiards
I like playing pool as well
This is the same idea for the bowling
however this one makes you think
also for either one.. if oen of you does not know how to play get closer to teach the other
Dress Appropriately- No skirts or heels. (trust me on that)
The Song
Lyrics
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Selling little bottles of love potion number nine
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is love potion number nine"
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love potion number nine
Love Potion number nine
Love Potion number nine

The Semi-Valentine
LOVELY SCENTS - are these the TRUE Love Potions?
Some scents are warm & sensual these are a few I can think of. Ladies put these on your pulse points (esp. The ylang ylang & the guys will go wild) but remember if they don't not my fault as our body chemistries are different so try them out and try othes let me know what's worked for you!
As for the guys... Well The only suggestion I have for you is the Cologne COOL WATER (I have litterally Almost attacked a couple guys wearing it) also There's a Chrome scent & a calvin Klein one that were very for lack of a better term 'Baiting'
- Ylang Ylang (sensual)
- Jasmine
- Roses
- (warm) Vanilla
- Sugar Cookie (guilty pleasure)
