why it's good
Above all the chick wants to feel special....which in GF world means spending time with them, listening to them, having dinner away with them etc.
After a while rocks and gold lose their luster.....go with the weekend....it is a sure fire winner. Plus she will be gratefull and you will get laid a lot.
hell, you can even do it in town, book a great hotel, book her one of those long pampering spa sessions (extra points if you sit in the mudbath with her) - or time the spa session for when the hockey game is on TV
When she returns from the spa, have light meal of strawberries, champagne and snacks waiting.
Trust me on this, it is glorious.
or take her for a heli-picnic, they will drop you off on a mtn top with picnic supplies and a blanket and leave you for a couple of hours.....this is an awesome choice - trust me!
