As someone who has had a shortage of first dates (I married the first boy I actually dated!), I guess I read this book to get some ideas on how to spice up my marriage by adding in a `date night' every now and then.  I have read several other books by Stephen Williams, and `First Date Ideas' looked like a cute book with some interesting suggestions.  I was not disappointed!  It has the same easy to read style as Williams' other books, and offers some fresh suggestions that I plan to implement to bring some oomph back to my marriage.I can see how new couples could really benefit from this book; Williams gives plenty of advice on overcoming first date jitters and planning ahead so you feel more in control of the situation.  Having a solid game plan is half the battle, and the other half is being yourself and being self confident during that all important first date!I really liked the fact that this book specifically gives tips on having the most memorable first date without spending a fortune.  Many of us have very little extra money to spend on dates, and young people who are trying to win over a new date often have huge expectations, but very small wallets.  Some of the tips are practically free, so anyone can try them any time, not just for a first date.If you had a great first date without this book's help, kudos to you, but you could still get some great tips from this little guide.  Williams has come up with some unique and easy to implement tips perfect for a first, second, or any number date, even for us old married couples!Before you plan your next, or your first date, give this book a read through and get mentally prepared.  After all, that is the hardest part!  How you feel going into a first date is really important, and can majorly affect how you feel coming out of it!  There are a few really good tips on self confidence for those who may be a little shy about approaching a potential first date, and they can really help set the tone for the whole experience.One warning for those who are married and reading this for date night ideas:  it may make you nostalgic for the past, and want to go back and relive your own first date all over again.  Unless it was horribly embarrassing and tragic, and then you will just wish you'd had this book before you ever tried it!  Another really helpful little book from Stephen Williams, perfect for new love, old love, and everything in between, promising that you'll never have a bad date again!
