Whats your dream date ?
A dream date, in my view, only happens with somebody with whom you've some familiarity socially via friends or family or arranged (via internet for example) to meet at least once. Aquaintance meeting really isn't a 'date'. I don't think arranged blind dates are either.
That said, I like to gamble a bit like making dinner for her, maybe at her place or visa versa; followed by a night out for some kind of live entertainment, movie or even pool or bowling. Back at her door or mine, maybe a hug. Whoever initiated the date should be the one to await a call/contact to see if there is further interest.
Yes, I know. ... a very strange man.
If you are really connecting with the person, I think what you're doing is completely secondary. If you are connecting, clicking, whatever you want to call it, those moments are your dream date.
the company you keep but not where you keep it
Outside picnic, river running nearby, sun shining and peace and quiet getting to know each other.
"That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket." I couldn't resist.
But seriously, for ME, a dream date would be staying in, having a homemade dinner, some wine, and good conversation.
That was the first thing I thought when I read the question!!
The one I had the other night was pretty good, picked up and taken to a great concert for the night. Half an hour in the car each way, so time to chat and dropped off tired and happy.
On a date and wanting to have a second one with the same person!!!!
Kissing a lot of frogs are we?
@Silver1wun lol yes you could say that
Museum date with coffee after
With a relic ???
Hmmm positive chemistry, good food and good music
where time flies and it feels like it just started...
I have been on dates that went exactly as planned and were great. I have been on dates that went exactly as planned and were complete failures.
I have been on dates that went sideways almost from the get go and we had a blast! I have been on dates that went sideways almost from the get go and it was a painful evening.
I have been on formal dates, informal dates, and just 'off the cuff' dates.
My dream date these days? Someone with a great attitude who will work with me to have fun on any date, at any location doing pretty much anything!
It's not the location, nor the activity that is key, it's the partnership.
I tend to like simple things, like small concerts, watching a move or the other person's house or even a small picnic under the stars, as long as there is thought behind it and it's not just cliche
a nice hike to a secluded swimming hole, get a fire going, catch some fish, coat in clay and burry under coals, go swimming in said swimming hole, come back, food ready, maybe find some greens to sautee real fast, pig out, kick back, watch the stars come out, and see where it goes from there, that would be sweet
someday i might find someone to go do this with in a romantic way, but its also pretty nice by yourself or with friends or family. so its a win win either way!
Is it a first date? Or with someone I've spent time with before?
For a first date, I'd love to start by chatting over coffee/tea in a quiet cafe by the water. Maybe take the conversation out on a pier so we could see the beauty of nature. If things go well, go to dinner together.
Now, after a first date, I'd like to have the lady over to my home, and cook for her. Pour up a few glasses of wine, and put on some nice jazz. If we feel inclined, a little dancing would be nice - nothing extravagent - just spending time together, being ourselves.
Just dinner and a movie is nice and all, but your focus is either on the food, or the film. If it's a date, I prefer my focus to be on the woman. You don't get to know people without coversation.
My dream date is an afternoon of conversation over coffee, perhaps a walk along the river then dinner at a nice sushi place. Suddenly, I look up and see an owl staring at me from a tree outside. My feet are glued to the floor and I realize that I’m only wearing underwear and I’m late for class!
This is the best one!!! Hahaha I Love It!!! I'm cracking up laughing and I Love to laugh! Haven't laughed this hard from something I've read in awhile!
You are hilarious!!! still laughing
@Sadoi Glad to please!
@indirect76 oh it was excellent!! Truly!! Haha
Right now I will take a date. Lol
Awww
This was an actual first date (blind date) of mine, 17 months ago: I had been in town only 4 hours. Went to the Local Women's March on January 21st. After the March, I met her at an outdoor Beer Garden. Each of us had una cerveza. Then she took me to a Happy Hour bar where we had oysters on the half shell and another beer. In leaning over to ask her a question, she turned her head around and suddenly gave me the most passionate kiss on the mouth I ever had. Said she did it 'cause she liked me. Took me to the top of Vulcan, overlooking the entire city, where she backed off a little, saying she felt bad about her bar kiss. That she wasn't really like that. Didn't know what came over her. I just said ok. Took me to her house for a nightcap. As I was set to leave, a tornado alert came on her phone. She said she couldn't let me leave just then, that tornadoes in Alabama were deadly. Said I could stay overnight, but not sleep with her. I just said ok. Then said I could sleep with her, but no sex. I just said ok. Ended up we made love all night, and every day and night after that for 4 solid days. Then I took a plane back home. We were a committed, long distance couple in love for 15 months, seeing each oither every 2 weeks. But that first date was my ideal date. And I still miss her.
There's no dream date for me, only dream dates.
Some nights it's just a chill night cuddled up on the couch watching a movie, or playing a game together.
Other nights it's a fun night out - dinner and bar-hopping.
Depends on the night.
