Where do you like to go on dates?

Kätzchen · 12-06-2015, 04:00 PM

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.

Well IF Santa brings me the 3 things I asked for, I'd love to take a date to Chicago and show them the town! It's very romantic this time of year!

When my wife and I first dated.......

We took the kid and went camping and fishing
We went out and danced all night in West Hollywood
Saw the movie Frida (my first non- mainstream movie)
Went to the Beverly Wilshire hotel and after private time, sat on the balcony and read poetry for hours
Went to a movie premier twice (she worked at Newline Cinema then)
Flew to Scotsdale, stayed at a beautiful resort and then went to the zoo.
Went to the Indian Reservation near Palm Springs, and then had dinner at a casino where I taught her to play blackjack.

Funny, we only dated 2-3 months before I moved in with her...we did a lot!!

I suppose we'll have to set more dates now that i moved to Sacto last week,my winter job.She came with me and bought new stuff for my apartment..looks all Christmassy.We went and saw the Christmas tree lighting at the state capital and she kept trying to slap me because I was doing my best to get on the evening news..don't ask *snort*

I'm a night person so most of our dating is done dining out,catching a movie,having coffee at an all nighter...sometimes I late night hunt and four-wheeling it through the fresh mountain snow and building an outdoor fire and drinking hot cocoa is my idea date with or without someone by my side.

Yeah,we have done mostly everything together that others have posted...i don't enjoy zoo's for some reason *shrugs*

I still love going to gay bars and dancing,seeing new faces...going for late night swims..i also like visting ghost towns and old cemeteries...making love on a tombstone..but of course that would be after we had a few drinks.

It's tough to go on a date when you have a small child.

Our dates usually consist of going to the dance club or to a quiet dinner, just to talk. We did have a walk on the beach once, which was nice till you step on seaweed!
