I'm Zach Fazio and I'm from Texas in one
of my previous videos I showed you my
proposal to Ashlee Carroll now known as
that proposal took me a really long time
to plan but man it was worth it it even
got on national television on the TV
show right this minute here's what they
said many many people over the last few
years have claimed to have the greatest
proposal video but music you are the one
that has it so I've been a Christian now
for 12 years and I spent most that time
as a single guy but one thing I learned
in the church was how to take the women
on great dates and these dates weren't
necessarily romantic a lot of them were
just to have fun build memories and
build friendships in fact over the years
by my count I took at least 99 women on
dates before I went steady with Ashlee
and that's how I came up with the three
Eve's of amazing dates
these three things can greatly enhance
the dates that you plan from this point
forward so I eventually got really good
at planning great memorable dates yes
Chris doesn't the fact that you want on
dates with that many women mean you're
not good at planning dates
Touche and look this is just my advice
we're not talking about absolute truth
here some of these things might work for
you some of them may not work for you
take it or leave it
I personally believe regardless whether
you're single and looking for the love
of your life you're dating the love of
your life or you're married to the love
of your life these things can take your
dates from here all the way guys I'm not
that tall
to here
[Applause]
[Music]
eating is the most relaxing part of the
date experience and so I suggest that
you do it first it's a great way to
unwind not worrying about what happened
earlier today or tomorrow you can just
be in the moment this is also the part
of the date where you get the most
conversation time it's a great time to
ask questions get to know each other or
if you already know everything to know
about each other at least find out
what's going on in their mind today and
this doesn't have to be extravagant you
don't have to go to a five-star
restaurant maybe just cook lunch or cook
dinner or just take them out to get ice
cream or coffee but if you do decide to
just do ice cream or coffee let them
know ahead of time so they know what to
expect entertainment is the most
memorable parts of the date experience
this is where someone will say maybe six
months or even six years from now hey
Zack do you remember that time when we
pretended to be secret agents and we
traveled around the city finding clues
in order to solve a mystery there are so
many different things you can do for
this part of the date from going to the
park going to an aquarium maybe playing
board games and I know when you're
planning a date it can be difficult to
come up with some creative and fun ideas
and one thing that people often default
to is go into a movie now that's okay
but honestly that's kind of pretty low
on the creative scale because you're not
even talking to each other you can go on
a walk to the beach or the park or
downtown don't want a bike ride up or
feed ducks at a local pond you could
take a painting class or decorate a
Christmas tree together depending on the
season maybe you can get some fireworks
and shoot those but do it where it's
legal how about you go to a thrift store
and try on some of the goofy clothes and
take pictures of each other
you could try learning swing dance salsa
dance one time Ashley and I did
real-life fruit ninja basically we
carved a bunch of fruits and had a
competition to see who carved the best
shape in order to help you out I'm gonna
give you 100 fun date ideas that you can
do on your dates check it out in the
upcoming videos
[Music]
the last e of the three e's of amazing
dates is encouragement now this one is
the most difficult to implement and it
takes a little bit of practice and it
can go south very quickly but in my
experience when I would take women on
dates and I would ask them what their
favorite part of the date was they would
often say the encouragement part so what
is this well at the end of the date
after a long fun activity I would
suggest that you spent maybe 10 to 20
minutes sharing with one another what
you appreciate and admire about each
other be honest be genuine don't be
creepy so for example you might say
something like this Ashley I want you to
know I really appreciate it or time
tonight it's been a lot of fun and I
also want you to know that I respect you
so much I know you put in a lot of work
on the worship team at church and I also
respect what you do at your job
honestly it takes a lot of character to
do that tonight's been great you look
beautiful and fantastic tonight and I
hope you had a great time as well and
after you're done sharing they may or
may not share something nice about you
that really doesn't matter because if
you can say something that is kind and
heartfelt to them it may very well be
the nicest thing anyone has told them in
months so those are the three e's of
amazing dates and honestly they're easy
to get started even right now in some
upcoming videos I want to give you even
more tips on how to plan fun and
memorable dates including the four
things that I think women typically want
on a date versus four things that men
often won on dates we really are a small
team here in San Antonio Texas making
these videos so if you believe in what
