A Bachelor’s Ideal Present
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.
I probably should warn you in advance that you better be very fond of this friend, because the gift idea that I'm going to offer is a bit on the costly side, although it is worth every penny. Maybe it's your son, or nephew, or uncle or your roommate who just refuses to leave.
Try giving him a truly romantic dinner without having to leave the house or apartment. Hopefully he'll be able to find an appropriate date with whom to share it. When you get right down to it, nothing impresses an unsuspecting date more than an intimate dinner that the host has prepared himself (with your encouragementand supervision, of course. 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.
He can begin the evening with the first part of your present, a fine gourmet cheese for the beginning course If he is capable of slicing a couple pears or apples, suggest that as well. He can serve this course as a finger food or at the dining table as the formal beginning of the meal.
The second course should be a delicious gourmet dinner of lobster a different seafood dinner or perhaps a combination of steak and lobster, sometimes known as surf and turf. Since this man needs so much help, you will want to be certain that the lobster is as fresh as possible.
Tell him to cap off the evening with a magnificent, 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.
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.
Once you've done your part in the affair, relax until you receive the engagement announcement. If it doesn't arrive within six months, just find another friend. That will be much easier.
