What's Your Idea of a Good Date?

[Akytalusia]

i'm absolutely vicarious, so a good date for me would be existing in proximity of two other people who were oblivious to me, and had a consensually good date.
the entire package is necessary, so if they noticed me at all, or if i was involved in any way, then it would not count as a good date for me.

Coffee and an idle through town followed by a rogan josh with either a good IPA or a bottle of wine (red for lamb of course) followed by whatever sci-fi or superhero movie is on... With bacon snacks of course.

Oh and it's important that both participants go into it with no expectations past the movie, that way we can just enjoy the time without angling for anything more. I have more fun that way.

Best thing about it is that I don't need a girl for it. Any one of my friends who enjoys good food and a movie can be substituted in.

 

[Strazdas]

No idea, never been on one.


Im so alone.

I have no idea either, as i never been on one. Possibly a fun game to play together during which we could chat. paintball or lazer tag would work too i guess. as long as we both have fun. i found strategy games great for ocnversation really, you can chat and play and they dont have to be related.

A good date should be day/month/year, or year/month/day.

Month/day/year is stupid.

I instantly uninstall any program that use stupid month/day/year thingy. they should be purged with fire.

I should be alive afterwards.

Humans, for all thier faults, are more resilient than you think. I have to survive being with people every day and am still breathing. heavily.

it contains sweet ass sex somewhere during the day or duration you are engaging or are in vicinity of your dating partner.

Well, i wouldnt go as far as to demand anal sex on first date....

Who said anything about first dates?

I'm horribly unromantic, so hard to imagine a good date. I'm thinking dinner at an ethnic restaurant followed by a walk in the city somewhere with fairy lights and/or fountains...

and then sweet ass sex.

Huhhhhhh, I suppose it's not a date because it'd have to be a full day thing.

-Something awesome like laser quest or I might even try paint balling or those places where they simulate sky-diving.
-Something to eat at an awesome restaurant but I'd even settle for something like Pizza Hut
-Maybe go for a couple of drinks in a quiet bar, hopefully sat outside if it's nice and cool so we can see the stars.
-Go home or back to theirs and snuggle on the couch under a blanket.
-Watch Adventure Time/something else awesome (I'd take this opportunity to get into GoT and Breaking Bad) with a few drinks.
-Then play lots of video games, zombie games on the Wii are always so fun.
-Then lots of sex XD (I probably put out far too easily, although I'd probably spend this day with a boyfriend or someone I had been on dates with before.)

I have to say, that date sounds fucking awesome. I should change my answer to that one (except substitute "boyfriend" with "girlfriend").

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Date: Probably going to a park and acting like children or playing European Football even though I'm not very good at it anymore. Or staying at one person's home for home cooked meal(or take out) and movies/video games.

Romantic evening: Fairly similar for date. Only with candles! Because candles make everything romantic according to the movies right?

At dinner, nearly every night, if I am sat near any female one of the mess staff thinks its funny to come out and light the candles whilst giving me a 'knowing' look... He said he will do it to make the evenings more romantic until I actually get a girlfriend and bring her to dinner one night... Crazy Latvian Bastard! He obviously has fallen for the Hollywood ploy!

OT: I am one for going out for the day to some neutral territory... then having dinner. This is for early dates. Later in the relationship it is all about snuggling to films!

A good date should be day/month/year, or year/month/day.

Month/day/year is stupid.

I disagree, it's should be m/d/y, that is how it's spoken. Today is September twenty-sixth, two thousand thirteen. But for cataloging purposes, year, month, day is best.

OT:

It really depends, for myself, my girlfriend and I have been dating for years, we are very serious. So a good date for us can be anything from picking up chinese food and watching a movie at home. Or it can be going out to Vancouver, walking around Stanley Park, go to a nice restaurant for dinner, then maybe seeing a show or a movie in the evening.

I guess for the first date, a good date is any date that gets you a second date. I feel that a good first date is something that gives you time to talk, going for coffee, maybe a walk in the park. Or out for dinner, and see a movie after. A good date should be fun, you should be relaxed and get to know the person. Also a good date should not involve an activity that only one person really enjoys, unless there is a 2nd activity to follow which the other person enjoys.... I say no more =p

It's spoken m/d/y by people who speak it m/d/y, you mean.

I say it's 26th (of) September 2013.

Yes that's true, a lot of people do speak it d/m/y

 

[Euryalus]

I am in complete disagreement.
I prefer to write it like I say it.

I'm sure we're all capable of saying twenty-fifth of September, twenty-thirteen... aren't we?! =_= *shrug*

That's too much work!

I can't be bothered to add another syllable!

...Not that I don't write it date/month/year anyway.

*grumbles about it being a requirement for work*

Sweet ass sex?

Or sweet, ass sex?

When she ****** my ********* and then we ******* for hours. I ******* her **** ******* *** and then ****** all over her ******. Then cuddling.

*takes notes*

But how do you manage to use the entire cake? Do you practice? XD

In an information theoretic sense, MDY is woeful. Either go with the least significant bit first or the most significant (DMY or YMD respectively); MDY is a half-arsed solution that suits nobody (it's only useful if you're discarding the year).

This may explain why I haven't been on an actual date in over ten years.

Still, those dates were awesome. Those little times when you don't even realise that you're actually dating, just habitually arranging to meet each other for drinks in a pub for four weekends straight.

I disagree, dd-mm-yyyy is the best, it's the ISO 8601 standard.

OT: A great date would be nice dinner, either at a Japanese place or a steakhouse, depending on the girl. Finish it with coffee at my place. And literally coffee. If it leads somewhere, awesome, if not, just talking is a nice way to end it.

Romantic evening? Homemade dinner with some nice wine, top it off with a fancy dessert. End it with a movie on the couch, curled up under a blanket with some popcorn and ideally, we only make it halfway through the movie.

 

[Mersadeon]

Hm. Well, I prefer not to go to the cinema or something like that on a date - you can't really talk, and the point is to get to know each other, right? Watching a movie at home, especially if it's really ridiculous and weird, that actually works out in my experience. If the chemistry is right, maybe just go out to drink a few beers/cocktails/beverage of choice together and talk about stuff.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I would say that a date and a romantic evening are 2 different things.

This is very true. I hesitate to call most of my time hanging out with my girlfriend "dates".

My GF and I typically just hang out at her place and watch back-to-back-to-back stuff on netflix (or the internet) while curled up on the couch. Sometimes followed by some minecraft. And that's enough to make me happy. ^_^

For actual "dates" we tend to go watch a movie, followed by dinner (usually the harvey's right next to our usual theater).

I'm happy just seeing my girlfriend though, so maybe I'm not the best person for this question, but I guess as long as we're free to talk and some cuddle time I'm happy.

This guy knows where it's at! XD

THIS! THIS! THIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSS!!!!

Day/month/year makes the most sense. You're going in increasing order of time units, which makes perfect sense. Month/day/year is completely stupid.

 

[Playful Pony]

Well, I always skip the movie... Not because it's too clichè and "I'm too cool for that shit", but because I don't like cinemas and they make for terrible places to talk! I like to take a walk and check out some fun stores while talking, maybe get something to eat somewhere if we're hungry, and if the date is good (as it should be in this scenario) we end up at my place where we'll watch a reasonably short movie while drinking something yummy. Then it starts getting "hot" in the room, she compliments my bra and I notice she isn't wearing one, the rest is for us alone to experience... This is based on the one good date I ever had, the rest were boring at best and downright uncomfortable at worst.
