The town where I go to school goes completely dead about half an hour after midnight. Until the bars start to close around 2 or 3, there is not a single soul on the streets, so I've found a few convenient fire escapes... I could easily combine that with the "lengthy stroll in the dead of night" idea, which I suppose would make it First Date Idea #1.5 for me.

Protohuman Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I think a lot of young people these days fail to realise that we're not in a film or soap opera. This is the real life, not fantasy. Don't be caught in a landslide to escape from reality...The real point of a date is to show the other person a good time, no matter what setting. Fancy resturants and godawful cinema isn't a requirement! All you really need to do is just show them the best of yourself as a person. And if you're nervous, or are being quiet for a reason, be honest about it. It is cute AND understandable.Remember, #####s love honesty!! Quote Gee golly, I sure do love Bionicles!

Mainly because the the concept of "dating" itself doesn't entirely resonate with me...maybe that's why all the ideas I've suggested so far are things I would get equal enjoyment from with platonic friends or by myself.

Gamzee Makara Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have to say, this topic has been a pretty amusing read.Well, the first week or so of August was pretty much a first date for me ...Snuggled on the couch and watched all the Lord of the Rings in one sitting (among other things over the course of the week)Took walksPlayed video gamesWent to the moviesHad dinner afterwardSnuggled moreOnly thing missing were literal fireworks, but that can made up for later on. -InfernaWow.I really am taken aback by how accurately that describes the majority of my recent "dates." Different movies, I'm sure, but... yeah. Pretty spot on.And that's how I like them.When I go on a date, I prefer dates that aren't thought of as "dates", if that makes any sense. I don't appreciate the formality and categorization that is stereotypically applied to dates. To be honest, I never use the word "date" in our conversations. To be even more honest, I don't even bother to call her my girlfriend.All of that feels useless to me, as it, however subtly it does, dictates in some manner what we are supposed to be, feel, and do. That doesn't make sense to me.What does make sense to me is letting the occasion, however simple or extravagant, be wonderful for the two of us. Sometimes that can be taking a walk. Maybe dinner at a real restaurant. Climbing a tree perhaps. At one point for us it was walking through a cemetery at night. Didn't matter to us.On another note, perhaps the one thing I can't stand in a date would be a crowd. A movie theater or music concert crowd, maybe those I could deal with. Still, what matters most to me is how we feel together. Just the two of us. Not how we look to our friends, family, the public. In the times we are together, separated from everyone else, I have found the moments most special to me.Wow that felt good to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Valjean Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I've never been on a date before, but somehow I always imagine I'll discover I like someone when I can engage in a prolonged philosophical discussion between noon and past midnight. Maybe around a campfire or something just to enhance the good memories, because for some reason conversations are always better near a fire.As for an official first date afterwards, I'd imagine we would go out and do some charity work or something like that.

They Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Wow intriguing topic. Dates always seem to happen without my realization, usually by simply meeting up to go to some festival or another where food is involved. Funnily enough, my compatriots always out do my send of clothing choice for the day.Therefore, here's mine:I'm actually wearing my favorite pair of pants, those long wide black chords with the red punk belt, my favorite coat, and a lovely white sleeved blouse or tunic underneath. We're off simply enjoying ourselves in some activity, even if that is simply gazing at ocean from the rocky beach (all the beaches are rocky here). Though I've always wanted to ride up on my bicycle at like 3am, throw a rock at her window and ride off to the perfect sunrise viewing spot with her on the back.In both cases I've packed a lunch.What's even cooler is that might just be happening soon. *Crosses fingers. * Edited August 23, 2012 by Kughii Quote http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9733&page=2&do=findComment&comment=546628 Link for the BZPRPG 2013 arc profiles.

otter Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well, my girlfriend and I have been together for the last two years, about, and we haven't even had a first date, really.So we decided that my older brother's wedding would probably be it.So I just say this: I'm like Vespertine, and whoever those other two were. And Bfahome.Then again, it depends on whether or not you count Moli and I just hanging out at my house (with, possibly, me singing some Frank Sinatra >_>) as a date. Because that was pretty ideal.
