November 2nd is Sadie Hawkins Day

Widely observed in US, usually on the first Saturday in November. Tradition established in "li'l Abner" comic strip in 1930s by cartoonist Al Capp. A popular occasion when women and girls are encouraged to take the initiative in inviting the man or boy of their choice for a date. A similar tradition associated with February 29 in leap years.
