You know that guy in your life who never seems lucky in love or in life, in general. I’m sure that you have such a friend; it seems that all of us do.
The gift suggestion that I’m about to offer for him is rather expensive. I assure you, though, that you will discover it’s a very sound investment on your part. Maybe this guy is your son, or nephew, or uncle or your roommate who just refuses to leave.
Try giving him a romantic dinner for which he never has to leave the house or apartment. Hopefully he’ll be able to find some date with whom to share it. Let’s face it, nothing sweeps a potential partner off his or her feet quite like a private, romantic, home made dinner. Now, the friend I’m thinking of needs all the help he can get in this regard. You may need to be very specific when you give him your gift and the instructions to go with it. Remind him to light candles, choose the music for him and suggest he pick up his dirty socks.
Start with a gift of a gourmet cheese for the beginning course If he is capable of slicing a couple pears or apples, suggest that as well. This course can actually be a nice appetizer, before they are actually seated at the dining table.
For the entree, present him with a gift certificate for a gourmet dinner of lobster or perhaps a surf and turf meal, if he is a beef addict. Since this man needs so much help, you will want to be certain that the lobster is as fresh as possible.
End the evening with a delicious, gourmet turtle cheesecake. Or, if he does not like chocolate, then select the more traditional New York cheesecake, decorated with a sprig of fresh mint.
You might also recommend a fine wine, if he consumes alcoholic beverages. Lobster is very hearty fare, so don’t be afraid to suggest he pair it with a bold wine such as a Merlot or even a Burgundy.
Now, sit back and wait for the inevitably coming wedding invitation. If it doesn’t arrive within six months, just find another friend. That will be much easier.
