FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

I expect maybe a kinda holding hands or a kisson the cheeck.

My perfect first date would be over a cup of coffee, getting to know the other person. Sharing our likes, dislikes and interests. The perfect first date would end in a mutual willing kiss.

Coffee in a bookstore or similar venue. Talk, sharing experiences, listening.

just to visit and get to know each other and maybe get to know the parents too

satisfaction

having a good time

Good conversation over a great cup of coffe (Peet's of course!)

maybe dinner and a movie

Well it would start in the afternoon with a walk on the beach, then lunch and then to the spa. I would then think that dinner at a fine restaurant with the sun setting would be next followed by? want to know more just ask.

I guess my first date idea is very simple. My first date idea is just hooking up to spend some time together in a public place. It does not have to be set in stone where. Places to meet could be a food establishment, mall, bowling alley, bar, etc. Just spend some time together and walk and talk and get to know each other as much as possible. Try to get a feel for each other to see how you feel around that person.

Honey and I have been kicking around the idea of writing about our ideal first date. I had to think long and hard about this one because I’ve had a lot of first dates and a lot of them stood out. They’re all pretty different, though, and a lot of it depends on the chemistry of the two people. I’ve had plenty of first dates where we didn’t go anywhere special, but the chemistry was amazing and we had a blast. Here’s my idea of a perfect first date. It’s not really a date at all, but more like a combination pickup and instant date. This post doubles as my entry in the dadshouseblog contest. First off, I would be doing something mundane, like going to the video store in the middle of the day. It doesn’t really matter, but let’s say that’s what I was doing. As I walked into the store, a hottie would be exiting. I would open her with situational: Lance: “Hi. What video did you get?” Hottie: “Hi. I rented XYX video.” XYZ could be something cool, like a Wes Anderson film, but it doesn’t have to be. It could be a chick flick too. If the video is cool, I’d simply say that I also liked it because of XYZ reasons and go into rapport with her about film, videos, etc. If it were a chick flick, I’d tease her, then go into rapport. At this point, say about 3′ into the interaction, I’d go direct on her: Lance: “Wow, I have to tell you I think you’re really interesting and attractive.” Pause. Her: “Thanks!!” We’d chitchat for another minute and I’d get the digits. Then, I’d take a leap here and ask if she wanted to get a margarita RIGHT NOW at my favorite margarita bar. This is critical, because it’s basically a screen to see if she’s spontaneous and ballsy like me. I could wait a few days and set up a date down the road, but that wouldn’t be half as much fun. I’m attracted to spontaneity and this would be unusual and exciting. She would say yes. It would be a total movie moment…improbable, but screw it, this is my fantasy. I wouldn’t even go into the video ...

I will let you know

A nice evening walk on the beach with no shoes after dinner, later go for drinks and see where the evening takes us.

NICE CONVERSATION

conversation and chemistry... at that point does it even matter what we're literally doing?

meet for some coffee and talk at a coffee shop

My perfect date would be fairly basic. A nice dinner, may be a movie and then a nice quiet lounge where we could get to know each other.

Chemestry

Find out my likes/dislikes first, set a date and be the gentleman your mother/father taught you to be. Open doors, pull chairs and have great etiquettes.

I have learned to keep my expectations low to avoid disappointment,with that said I would like to meet somewhere that is comfortable for both you and I that has a relaxed atmosphere.
