Listen to your significant other. Remember the types of places they said they hated? Now is the time to put that information to good use. And if they've expressed a particular affinity for one type of restaurant or an activity such as bowling, you might want to choose a date location that matches those interests.

Avoid the ordinary or usual. If you've been to one place dozens of times, try someplace else. There's never been a better time to go out on a limb and try something new. More often than not, your partner will appreciate the gesture.

Stay classy. Burger King might have been a good date in high school. But that doesn't mean it'll work as an adult. Steer clear of low-end joints, like fast food restaurants and dive bars. A date should be something special, and shouldn't resemble how you grab a cheap, quick lunch on a busy workday.

Be adventurous. Going on a date doesn't need to mean the same old dinner and a movie. Try something new, like rock climbing or a trip to a local casino. Your partner will appreciate the change of pace.

Do your research. That Italian restaurant you saw on the drive home might look nice from the outside, but what if the food is horrible. Check the web for reviews and ask friends and coworkers if they've heard anything about your prospective dating locales. A few minutes of research could save you hours of agony over a bad meal. The website Citysearch is a good place to start, though just searching for a restaurant's name can usually produce a few reviews.
