Late night bump
 

Okay since it is a Singles mingle thread and I am single and want to mingle I thought I would I ask a couple of questions. What is your idea first date? Do you believe in LDR?
Now this is for both femmes and those that id as Bravehearts or Queer whatever you know those that would date us lol....not real good with the words tonight.

Late night bump
 

Late night bump time and maybe a definition for those that do not know what a Braveheart is. It is a term that was coined here on the site for a TG that can not or chooses not to transition for whatever reason. For some it is because of financial, medical, or because they have come terms with living in the body they have even if does not represent how they feel.

It is a gloomy rainy Sunday here hope the sun is shinning some where if it is how about sending it my way.....

Did you see the date ideas thread someone started a couple of weeks ago? Lots of good ideas there.

To combine your date question and your LDR question which to me also includes an implication of having met online.... To a degree I think that LDRs can work but to ME, they can't work or even truly exist without regular in-person contact - and there is no real relationship without that contact. To ME, there is just too much that you can't possibly know about someone until you spend a lot of time together.

So for me, the first time or two (or even more) that I meet someone from online, it's not really a date, or at least not the same kind of date. We are instead just getting to know each other and check each other out, no matter how many times we've emailed or talked in the phone. I honestly for myself like to keep these first meetings very casual, not dressy or romantic, because there's just nothing that can be as awkward as doing a big romantic date then realizing that there really isnt the chemisty to sustain or justify that kind of date. Then if we discover that the chemistry is there, we can plan something much more romantic, pull out the femme finery, etc.

Beautiful day here - just cool enough to know its fall but warm and fresh enough to throw all the windows open. Sending some your way!

I so agree about the meetings in a LDR that the first couple really are not the big romantic kind. No matter how much I want to pull out the big guns and reserve the nice restaurant and be all mushy and have the nice romantic walk I would like to know there is chemistry first. No matter how much time is spent on the phone, email, text, and Skype you can not know if the chemistry is there until you meet and get rid of those first meetings jeeters out of the way.
