What's Your Idea of a Perfect Date?

Dinner, a play and coffee or dessert after to discuss the play.

 

i have a girlfriend, but I've never gotten to go on a date (with her or anyone else) due to covid. my ideal date would be roller skating and playing arcade games, and then going to this local cake bakery i live by! after that we'd probably go on a night car ride and just vibe and be stupid.

 

The idea of meeting up for coffee or drinks on a first or second date and expecting spontaneous chatter and laughter is the worst for me. I did that a few times when I was single and able to mingle and it rarely worked out well. Nervousness led to periods of awkward silence, followed by forced conversation and a generally deflating feeling. Far better to do something together and give yourself some talking points... and when I say "do something" I don't mean jump into bed with each other (although you may at some point).

 

April 25, because it's not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

But in all honesty, just a date where conversation is really easy with the other person. Whether it's over dinner or just a walk, if the communication goes smoothly and flows with ease, to me that's a good date.

 

Going on a picnic or out on a walk in nature, being able to spend time talking and getting to know each other.

 

i prefer somewhere nice and comfortable in nature like park or near lake or river . its more romantic to laying on grass and looking sky and talking about interest

 

The perfect date is when he pays for everything.

 

Something with adrenaline or like a calm cozy space. Playing video games together, sitting by a spa( Not dates I’ve been on but times I’ve felt emotionally close to someone I’ve been interested in)

 

I'd probably enjoy a date where did something we both enjoyed, like baking or painting. Something lively and cosy. I'd like it if the place was quiet, so we could talk or play the music we want.

 

My ideal setting would be with a boyfriend, matching suits but different acessory colors and such... In a restaurant. The resturant would be somewhere like golden corral, where the date.moves along at the pace we want.(entree,appetizer, dessert) Of course, we know that gay shame would be spread all around, but I have to ingore that. I would also like a date where I go outside with my boyfriend in suits, enjoying the outdoors at night because we could do so much without feeling embrassed because it's dark out.

 

So! How was it??

 

Doesn't the perfect date depend on the person with whom you're having the date?

Ultimately, it's only 'perfect' if something long lasting and real comes out of it.

The last date I had was 8 years ago now and it was just conversation and drinks overlooking the Thames. It ended with a kiss and within two weeks had blossomed into love. I very much doubt whether I'll get anywhere close to that perfection again...

...but hope springs eternal!

It wasn’t even a date. I was out for my morning walk today, with the idea in my mind to walk along a particular beach. As I was making my way along the road to the beach, I got a text, “Look behind you...!” I turned around, and there was “B”, my friend! He caught up with me, and I mentioned where I was going. He decided to join me. So we walked together along the sand, on a beautiful morning. The beach is about 2 miles long. We walked all the way to the end, and back. After the beach, we walked to his house. Much as I want to be with him (those of you who know my journey), it’s not my place now, so I said goodbye outside and continued on alone to my house, thinking about that perfect date, so close ...
And just for the record, I’m not sad about this. It was very good to see him, and I was happy that he had reached out to me along the way. Brings to mind a quote I saw over the weekend: “While I breath, I hope”
