Anticipation Is Making Me Wait
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com

Have you ever planned a special trip and bought a guidebook or video
about the place you were going to visit and got so excited by reading
about or seeing pictures of where you were heading?

Daily reminders of an upcoming excursion can make one anxious and
eager.  Likewise, by sending reminders of a specially planned event to
your sweetheart, you can multiply the anticipation and enjoyment of
the occasion.

If the event is going to be more romantic in nature then think of some
romantic items to entice them with.  Roses and pieces of chocolate
smell of romance.  On each day about a week before the special date
deliver, mail or hide a piece of chocolate or a single rose or other
romantic gift.

If you are poetic, try writing a verse to go along with each daily
gift.  If poetry isn’t your strength then write a simple line about
how you are looking forward to this special date or trip you have been
planning.

On one particular date I wanted to make really special, I bought a
dozen roses a week before.  Six days before our date I put half a
dozen roses on her desk with a note mentioning I was looking forward
to the grand event in six days.  I did the same three days, two days
and one day prior to the date.

If your trip or date is more fun in nature, send something festive
each day.  If it is a birthday party in the works, you could send a
party hat one day, then birthday candles and a noise maker and so on.

For those who like to plan mysterious evenings or getaways, try
sending clues throughout the week.  An event that is planned well in
advance could be promoted by offering weekly reminders beforehand.

A little hype can turn even the most average date into a special
occasion.  However, you must be careful not to over-hype an ordinary
date.  Otherwise, the date itself may be a let down.
