Wanna get FRESH on Valentine’s Day? Self-proclaimed diehard romantic and Date Guru, Coronado resident Janet Doré created a website that makes it easy to breathe new life into your romantic outings. Whether it's a first date, you're in the throes of a passionate new romance, or you're half of a seasoned couple keeping that flame burning hot...whether you’re 16 or 76...Date Oxygen is a fabulous resource for unique on- and off-island date ideas. 

Janet is a California lifer who left her quiet NorCal nest in 1985, and flew south to San Diego in her Honda in search of urban stimulation…and, a bit more sun. Her passion for exploring was ignited in Tahiti in 1991, after her tongue met Poisson Cru and she tasted freedom on a French-style (topless) beach. More than 20 years and 16 countries later, she’s adept at rooting out real gelato and authentic French macarons, is a full-fledged pizza snob courtesy of passionate chefs around the globe, and can root out unique experiences and the top independent businesses wherever she happens to be in the world. 

After years writing to inspire others to veer off-the-beaten-path in her travel blog, The Wandering Ex-Housewife, Date Oxygen was born to help couples explore San Diego together and serve as an outlet for Janet’s oversupply of romance and passion for writing. Says Janet…“Not only do you bond more with a place when you dig down deep to find the best of its small local businesses, but your relationship gets a huge boost as well. Never forget...LOVE is a verb, you gotta go do it. And, not just on February 14, but every day of the year.” She has removed the work and added convenience with an easily searchable date-a-base allowing you to filter dates by location, cost, meal, dress, length, vibe, and even dog-friendliness. Each date has a helpful description, complete instructions, Google maps, plus practical and romantic tips. Best of all, you can email it to your smarty phone to keep you on track the entire outing. 

Gentleman, ladies, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives...EVEN TEENS, it’s time to go get fresh right now at Date Oxygen.
