If you're a young adult living in or around Anaheim, California, you might consider placing an ad in the "Personals" section of the local paper. Once that is done, once you have in print a testament to your personal effort to find a date, what should you do? Should you just sit by the phone? No, the wise ad-holder should start immediately on a suitable follow-through to his or her Anaheim personal ad.

Think ahead to what you will need to do once you get a response to your Anaheim personal ad. If you are a young man, you will need to decide where to take the young woman who has responded to this ad in the personals section. The advice for young women: Anaheim provides you and the responder many places that the two of you might go together. A realization of those facts should indicate the direction of a proper follow-through to an Anaheim personal ad.

The best follow-through to the placement of an Anaheim personal ad begins with an examination of all of the potential dating theaters in Anaheim. In other words, the man or woman who placed the ad should study carefully all of the locations in Anaheim where a dating couple might most enjoy spending their time together. 

Let us look now at a few of the Anaheim sites that should be on the list of the man or woman who has begun the follow-through to an Anaheim personal ad. The theme parks should, of course be high on the list. Knotts Berry Farm, California Adventure Park and Disneyland are all in Anaheim. All three of these parks are places where a dating couple might spend time together. But a follow-through to an Anaheim personal ad should not stop with a look at the location and prices for these parks.

Since the ad holder does not yet know anything about the interests of the person who could be planning to respond to the Anaheim personal ad, the ad-holder must be prepared to offer many alternate dating theaters. Suppose, for example that the ad respondent has a love for music. Then the ad-holder would want to mention that he or she had given thought to going to Anaheim's House of Blues. If the person responding to the ad is a real sports fanatic, then it would be prudent to show a willingness to visit Angel Stadium, Arrowhead Pond or Glacial Garden Arena.

Another word of advice for young men and women: Anaheim might hand you a date with interests quite unlike your own, then you should have planned ahead and should have available information that could suggest a preferred time for the date. For example, if a young woman wants to acknowledge a young man's interest in sports, but if she herself does not like sports, then the pair should attend a game that they know will be exciting. A match-up between the Angels and the Yankees, a series scheduled for April of 2006, would be a wise choice.

All of the above are meant to get the ad-holder thinking in the right direction. They are intended to prevent the ad-holder from sitting back and waiting for a phone call. They should serve as a reminder of the importance of follow-through on a personal ad, whether it be an Anaheim personal or a personal placed in a different city.
