Give the Gift of Love to a Luckless Man

You know that guy in your life who never seems lucky in love.  I’m sure that you have such a friend; it seems that all of us do.

The gift recommendation that I’m about to offer for him is rather expensive.  I assure you, though, that you will discover it’s a very wise investment on your part.  Maybe this guy is your son, or nephew, or uncle or your roommate who just refuses to leave.

Give the gift of a romantic dinner with the person of his own choice–there in his own home.  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  Suggest that he consider serving the cheese with ripe apple slices or pear slices, but only if you trust him to handle a knife.  He can serve this course as a finger food or at the dining table as the formal beginning of the meal.

The meal’s next course should be a gourmet dinner of lobster a different seafood dinner or perhaps a combination of steak and lobster.  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, New York cheesecake or a turtle cheesecake, if he is a chocolate enthusiast for dessert.  Whichever cheesecake option you choose, tell him to spruce up the serving with a few fresh berries.

If he drinks alcoholic beverages, do not trust him to choose the wine for the dinner.  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 likely wedding invitation.  If it doesn’t arrive within six months, just find another friend.  That will be much easier.
