So many of you may remember how great my Cancun trip was with this new woman I went with, who I didn't know. She's coming here to visit me next weekend and I'm very excited about it, but also a little nervous. I need some ideas on planning some fun things to do. She used to live in Atlanta, so she's not a tourist. Since I was unemployed for so long, I can't afford to really go all out, but do want to show her a good time.

I'm also concerned about what she'll think about my house, as its been pretty empty since my divorce and could use some small improvements (which I hadn't done since I was unemployed). I've already started straightening it up and cleaning and considering getting a cleaning crew in here to make it spotless.

Any other suggestions?

Apart from relax and have fun - no - you don't need more than that. Enjoy!

A clean house is a great start. Good idea about getting a service in to help with that. (It's a nice treat for you, too!)

Since she's lived in Atlanta, you could ask her if she has some favorite restaurants or activities she'd like to revisit. Not exciting, I know, but some people like to check out old haunts. You could follow that up with one of your favorite activities or places, and then maybe a new one where you could make a fresh memory for the two of you together.

Have a great time!

Cleaning the house is good. So far as improvements or lack of stuff in the house don't worry about it. Women really do understand that things happen. Like the improvments and such were beyond your control, a clean house isn't. So clean, then relax.

Greet her at the door in your birthday suit holding a bottle of wine and two glasses.

Seriously, though, just clean up, relax, and have fun while she visits. Good for you, mate!

As far as the house, if you have a good girl friend maybe have her visit your house and take a trip to Target and buy a few things. I went to a guy's house who did not have soap in his guest bathroom. I was a bit amazed. (he had a gorgeous house and major electronics so he could have afforded soap).

I am not familar with Atlanta but there are always fun free or cheap things to do around here. Does your paper have a section that shows what is going on around town this weekend?

I agree also with relax and have fun.

I agree with Tipitina....old haunts sound cool (but that is me).

It depends on what you both like to do. Do you guys like live music? Maybe one night you can go out to dinner and listen to music. Or maybe a comedy show? I am not sure about day activities because I have never been to Atlanta. Is there wine tasting or an art exhibit or musuem that you want to visit? Maybe hiking and/or a picnic?

I would just find out what she likes to do and what you like to do. Plan something fun and just have fun! Best of luck!

She's coming to spend time with you, not to be wowed by the expensive time you can show her (it's not exactly like you can top a cruise to Cancun, anyway...lol).

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you have to plan every minute of your time together. Just think of a couple of activities that will give you something to do while still being engaged with each other (there are some good suggestions for that from FebruaryStars). Are there any local festivals taking place in Atlanta or one of the neighboring towns? That would be another option...

If she is adventurous enough to have invited a strange man on a cruise with her, I don't think you have to worry too much about whether she'll be up for doing whatever you plan.

Check out accessatlanta dot com. They have listings of things going on all over the metro area. You can find out about festivals, cheap and free events, etc. It's great for planning Spring and Summer outings.

Oh, you could also check out the Starlight Six Drive-in. Not only are drive-in movies super fun and kinda romantic, but you can get a double feature for $7 and bring your own picnic basket.
