Where do you like to go on dates?

Lecheloco · 12-06-2015, 01:31 PM

Depends on the time of day, if it's an early day date picnic somewhere along the way of back road drives
Evening I will make dinner reservations at a spot that my date enjoys followed by a movie or jazz club

Sometimes the best dates go unplanned...

I love going on drives. Can be back roads or city streets. There usually is no outside interference. No phone calls, texts, unfriendly customer service , etc.

The sights spark conversations. You sing along to the music. Quality time. Hand holding, blushing.

And, Sometimes, a meal at an unfamiliar place turns into something special.

The entire time turns into a special one of a kind experience.

- A low-lit restaurant

- Coffee shops that serve food and are kind of off the grid

- Balcony dates are also the best. We can help prepare a meal together then enjoy wine, food, and the sunset with one another

- Surprise trip dates to another city...after we know one another well enough that I know you aren't kidnapping me

Justin · 12-06-2015, 02:12 PM

While I do occasionally love getting dressed up to go out for dinner and drinks, I typically most enjoy dates that are inexpensive.

Going for long drives and discovering towns or hole-in-the-wall places that are new to both of us. Maybe even getting lost at some point along the way.

A trip to the farmer’s market for dinner fixings and then back to someone’s house for wine and conversation while we cook together.

Packing a lunch and grabbing the fishing poles for a day of fishing at the reservoir.

Bringing a camera to take pictures while we explore local historical places and/or cemeteries together.

Museums, outdoor concerts, festivals.

Last night I had one of the loveliest dates that I’ve had in a while. My date and I packed some blankets and snacks and went to see America’s oldest Singing Christmas Tree. We found a secluded place away from the crowd to lay our blanket in the grass. The only light came from the tree, and the music was just beautiful. It was chilly, so we had an excellent excuse to snuggle up together. Totally my cup of tea.

I don't care too much for visiting museums or libraries or visiting historical sites. I don't actually consider places like these as date-type kinds of activities.

Some of the most memorable dates I have been on, included: Riding horses on the beach, staying in a remote location near the beach or up in the mountains and cooking food together, spending time together away from the busy clamor of ordinary life.

I really like putting together a little basket of food to eat and getting stuff to drink that my former dates have enjoyed.

For what it's worth, I date only people I've come to know in up close and personal ways (locally).

Oh, and taking in concerts or visiting local art galleries or local vintage/antique shops are definitely some favorite activities I like for dating encounters of a lovely kind.

Fair enough. Most people don't. I have trouble finding people who find sharing that romantic. I'm a brain based person so sharing learning to me is very intimate and will only do with people I'm very serious about.

Most people like remote romantic beaches, candle lit baths and walks in the moonlight. I'm a bit "meh" about those things.

That's why romance really is very individual!

I enjoy visiting museums, particularly natural history museums, because I've been studying nature all of my life, and I'm always up for learning something new. I also enjoy seeing films or checking out an art opening, I like meeting authors and listening to them read their work. I like to be outdoors, I love a stroll through a park or in the woods; better yet, I enjoy hunting for fossils, and find it most satisfying to find a better specimen of one I already have or a new one to add to my collection. My prize find was a paleo point, while it wasn't a fossil, it was found while hunting for them. Photography has been a hobby of mine since my mom gave me her old brownie.

These are all things I do on my own, and to share any of things with someone, as a date, would be very special for me. I would probably have a huge smile on my face, the entire time.

girl_dee · 07-08-2017, 07:45 AM

Someone special is turning me into a romantic mush bucket...

i have to say a nice dining experience. This would be a bit different on a first date, but since it would not be in my scenario, here it is.

My number one reason i like to dine out with someone i like is one on one. i want their attention, i want all of their attention. i want to talk, look and savor them across a table. i want to feel proud to be sitting with them, i want to know they are enjoying my company (hopefully they are). i want to watch them enjoy their dinner.

The other reason is that the world is tuned out. No cell phone (checks in ok at times), no digital noise, just a centripetal energy that surrounds us. We don't care what others are doing, we don't care what the world is doing in that moment. The world goes away when you have one on one time.

However i may be a tad distracted if the sun happen to be setting on the ocean right outside the window... just for a moment.

I would love to walk the art festival with Him. Next year for sure!

clay · 07-08-2017, 04:26 PM

Some of my faves have been artwalks, craft venues, fairs, picnics in the park, or sitting under huge trees, on a blanket, with a picnic for two..reading poetry...

LOQUI · 07-08-2017, 07:00 PM

Today?! Any place with air conditioner!

RockOn · 07-08-2017, 09:22 PM

I just tell her to take off her panties and get in the truck.

LOL!

Okay, here is my real answer.

Leave the cell phones in the truck, have a leisure dinner and conversation at a really nice restaurant. I ask the waiter to situate us in a private, out of the way corner away from noisey children.
