Fortune Teller |    |
Setting the Stage:
Are you lucky in love? Is your date written in the stars? You’re about to find out! This will come as a surprise if you are a non-believer, but there are a wide variety of fortunetellers; palm readers, card readers, intuitives as well as psychics. They range from those considered so reputable that they often assist police departments with hard-to-solve cases to total con artists. How do you tell them apart? The latter usually set up shop in the touristy areas of town and advertise with big cheesy signs. Referrals are usually the only way to find a trustworthy psychic. A good alternative is to seek out an astrologer. Astrologers usually have years of study behind them, so they are a great bet if all else fails.
Even if you go to the fortuneteller on the corner as a lark, this date is sheer frivolous fun. First dates are about light enjoyment, so ask romantic questions, fun questions, and leave the heavy duty “why did my grandfather hate me” emotional scab picking for a quiet and more personal time.
When organizing this date, add a touch of mystery by playing it up with dinner at a dark, candlelit and slightly eccentric spot. Perhaps a restaurant with belly dancers, or eastern European accordion bands, or any kind of Gypsy or old world charm.
This is a date that might have you getting lucky!
Dress to Impress:
 | Black pants with a black turtleneck under your all-purpose black leather jacket. If you’re swarthy enough to pull it off, substitute the turtleneck with a red or burgundy silk button down. |
 | Peasant chic, of course! An offthe- shoulder peasant blouse with your favorite skirt or trousers. |
Devil's in the Details:
 | Spanish could hit the old world spot just right. A great place to take a date is a tappas bar where small plates of Spanish delicacies are served with wine or sherry by the glass. They often have wonderful and sometimes live music, which would hit just the right note style wise. |
 | Share a delicious pitcher of Sangria, or order sherry by the glass. Sherry is a wonderful fortified wine that ranges in flavor from dry to very, very sweet. It is served in tiny glasses and would ebb a great accompaniment to your tappas feast. |
 | Wonderful South American or Spanish music, The Gypsy Kings never disappoint. |
 | All the fortune telling accoutrement. |
 | Your curiosity and an open mind. |
 | Do you believe in this stuff? What is the most twilight–zone experience of your life? Have you ever seen a ghost? |
 | A candle, rare oils, a book on Tarot reading, or a small crystal, which is said to promote healing and good fortune. |
 | Ask the fortune teller what your date’s most erotic spot is and promise to give it attention later! |
