52 Dates For You & Your Mate
By David & Claudia Arp
Three Wishes Date
The Idea: Yes, our friend actually met her husband at the door one evening in a tutu complete with wings, quiver, and three arrows with hearts. “Tonight is your night!” she told him. “I’m your Fairy Godmother and I will grant you three wishes!”
Our friend was quite sketchy about what happened next, but the giggle and silly look on her face told us it was a fun, romantic date. While not asking specific details, we did gather some practical suggestions in case you feel like turning into a Fairy Godmother or Fairy Godfather.
Heed the Warnings: It’s best to make this a surprise date. But you’ve also got to be in the mood for this one. Announcing the day or morning before the date that you’re set to be the wish granting fairy may set both of you up for a letdown. Expectations may build too much. Or your day may get out of hand and be one of those awful days that if you were a fairy, you’d want to make yourself disappear – much less grant wishes!
One more caution: Some may find that granting three unqualified wishes is a little too threatening. What if a mate asks you to do something you don’t want to do? If you are worried about this, you can ask your mate for five wishes; then choose the three you feel comfortable granting. You may be able to relax more this way and enjoy bringing pleasure to your mate.
