Perfect Date

So- up in the fencing discussion, I saw a 'perfect tourny' and a 'perfect club' thread...

Well, fencing aside, we're all people and we've all got desires and needs... so what's your perfect date?

I don't think there is a "perfect" date. It all depends on what you are in the mood for. No one likes the same thing all the time.

Kind of wish I had enough money to take my wife to an opera or orchestra with a fancy sit-down dinner afterwards. Maybe a nice hotel room afterwards (no kids) ...

After a dealing with kids all week, you kind of need something to make you feel like an individual human being again.

I think in the ideal date you and your date would be able to talk about a variety of subjects yet still maintain each others interests.

It was after a conversation like that the girl went from "a hot girl" to a "hot girl I would like to get to know better." Ultimatly we hooked up.

I'll say that conversation is neccasary, if you want to maintain a relationship. After all, have youe ever been turned off by a hot chick cause she was boring to talk with? yeah, I have.

Do you mean

the perfect person to date as in tall, blond haired, blue-eyed Swedish fencer or the perfect date as in dinner for two by candlelight, followed by a long walk on a moonlit beach with a blond-haired, blue-eyed, Swedish fencer?

You mean like sex-crazy, supermodel, nobel-prize winner, billionaire-heiress, who's mad about me? *sigh* still waiting for that date to appear... but I'm not holding my breath, either.

P.S. -- Did I mention she'd fence too? Just not as good as me.... :P

Hmm...

A nice dinner at an expensive restaraunt, followed by a good show at an actual theatre (not a movie). Les Miserables was excellent, so was Stomp. A glass of wine, then, with either a movie or good conversation, and finally off to bed.

You'll get a much better effect if you do that whilst wearing a big floppy hat and some gold chains. Tinted oversize glasses would help, too.

I would have mentioned it, but you would've been able to find out my Secret Identity. There are only so many fencing pimps in the Northeast United States.

To be honest, I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect date. You're supposed to be nervous, I think. Dating helps people get to know each other, and that process is full of uncertainties. I'll bare my soul here and give you an example:

I was a very very poor college student living in a rough and run down area of the city. I met this girl, and after a few chats, I got up the guts to ask her if she'd like to go out to a movie. To my surprise, she said yes.

At about the same time that I asked her out, my parents stopped by my place, saw that I'd been eating rice and soy sauce for 6 months straight, and bought me some food. The stuff I treasured the most was the fresh stuff - fresh meat, fresh fruit, that sort of thing. So, after months of eating the same thing, I picked the first thing that I thought was both tasty and healthy, and basically gorged myself on it.

So, that evening, I met this girl and we went to see the movie. About midway through the movie, I started feeling, uhm... "a little under the weather, stomach-wise". At the end of the movie, I was pretty desparate. The credits rolled, and we walked out. The food court was near the theatre, so salvation was at hand. With as much calmness as I could muster, I said "I'll be right back". She nodded and sat down at one of the tables. I dashed into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, what's left of me stumbles out of the bathroom and towards the table she's still sitting patiently at. She asked me if I was okay. I apologized profusely for my delay, and said:

"One apple is good."

"Two apples are good."

"Seven apples are BAD."

She laughed at me, and I took her back to her place. As I was sitting on the bus back to my apartment, I was sure I'd never hear from her again.

We've been married for over three years.

So yeah, in a horribly long way, I was just trying to say that a perfect date doesn't have to go perfectly... it just has to have perfect results.

Well, we're not necessarily talking about the first date here...what would be your perfect date now, with your wife? (Keep it PG, please.)
