Untouchable_Fire Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Time for a positive thread. :bunny: Was the date simple? elaborate? What made it Romantic?
SilentVoice Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 It was a simple date .We went to a local park. That had a dock on the lake and a trail that ran over the water. We walked to the dock. Fed the ducks. Then walked the trail and had our first kiss on top of this waterfall thing. It was really nice. Then we made out on one of the park benches. It was great and wild deers were all over . Haha being a city girl I was in pure awe. :love:
denise_xo Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 My most romantic date was back when I was at uni. We went to a museum and then for some food but the romanticism had nothing to do with the specificities of what we were doing and everything to do with me just being completely blown away by this man. Just looking into his eyes or feel his hand lightly touching my elbow as we would turn to cross a street sent shivers through my entire body and made me feel immensely grateful. It was divine and remains one of my best memories to date.
Eeyore79 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I've frequently been taken to dinner or to the cinema, or into town for lunch and shopping, or out for a walk - but they were all much of a muchness, they blend together in my mind and no particular occasion stands out as special. I do remember one occasion when I was taken out for a drive to a nice country restaurant, but what made it special was that the guy in question was obviously into me and I was into him; we were all cute and kissy and romantic together. He would stroke my face, and gaze into my eyes, and kiss me gently; he held my hand and literally couldn't take his hands or eyes off me. He had brought me a flower, and he clipped it into my hair and told me it was almost as beautiful as the girl wearing it I think it was his tender words and actions which made the date romantic, not necessarily the setting or what we did. He was obviously smitten with me and it was just so sweet
collegeguy_24 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I've had two, both with my recent ex. THe first was our first date together. I took her to a BBQ place, cause she likes it, then we went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, only it was a play and not the movie put on my local actors. We had a great time together and laughed a lot. Afterwards we went back to her place, and held each other for a bit, just swaying to the winds and humming music together. Eventually I looked her deep into her blue eyes and kissed her. It was magical. The second: we were dating for about 2 months, and we hadn't done anything romantic in a while, so I went to her place in the dorms and used their kitchen. Together, both her and I cooked a fabulous meal of Game hens, and chopped potatoes. Then we went to a local Shakespeare in the park play, afterwards we went back to her place, while she was showering I melted some chocolate and brought out some strawberrys, put a nice, dark red blanket on the floor, brought out some realistic fake candles, real ones are not allowed, dimmed the lights, and we had dessert.
Author Untouchable_Fire Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 I wrote her a note to go to her car. I filled her car with balloons and chocolates. I put a poem I wrote for her on the steering wheel with tickets to her favorite play. That evening I took her to a nice restaurant on the water and then we attended the play. We ended with a walk in the park and a long makeout session. Am I trying too hard?

theBrokenMuse Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I'm trying to envision a car filled with chocolates yet keep coming up with visuals that are better suited for Tim Burton's version of Willy Wonka. Guess I am just not much of a romantic.
Author Untouchable_Fire Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Sounds sweet. It depends how long have you been dating?OR been together We had been friends for 9 months and dating for 3.

Guess I am just not much of a romantic. 1 box of chocolates. The car was full up with balloons. At the time I thought it would be cute... I spent from 3am to 5am inflating balloons. Looking back it might have annoyed her. I remember there were balloons in the back seat of her car for 2 weeks afterwards.
tigressA Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 My most romantic date...we went out for Chinese food, then for a long nighttime drive. We came back to his place, took a long bubble bath together, sipped Hpnotiq from champagne glasses and sang songs to each other. Then we had really great sex and fell asleep.
sweetjasmine Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 1 box of chocolates. The car was full up with balloons. At the time I thought it would be cute... I spent from 3am to 5am inflating balloons. It's cute and very sweet. I love that kind of thoughtful, slightly whimsical gesture. It's a lot of fun. Looking back it might have annoyed her. I remember there were balloons in the back seat of her car for 2 weeks afterwards. Hey, man, it's not your fault she left them in there.
SilentVoice Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 We had been friends for 9 months and dating for 3. Oh ok. I don't think it is too much. Did she like it? How did she react?
welikeincrowds Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I think the most officially romantic date I've ever been on was the time I stumbled upon an entire floor in an office building that was gutted for the sake of remodeling; just the entire floor was open, with windows on every wall; and so I snuck a table and chairs and candles and so on in there (and sushi, since I can't cook), and took my then-girlfriend for private dinner for two. To get her in the building I told her I had just remembered that I needed to run an urgent office errand I had forgotten and if she'd just come with me since it was only going to take 2 seconds and she was right here and so she may as well. Ha. But I also appreciate that it's not these overblown or creative moments that are always the most romantic. What really matters is what is happening in the small space between you and her.
Feelin Frisky Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Mine was so wonderful. During that period I had been stood up and disappointed in other ways several times. I was starting to get hard-hearted. I asked a girl out who had given me good vibes--she worked in another department on the same floor in a skyscraper on the NYC lower Manhattan skyline near Wall Street. I didn't believe it would really happen until she was really with me and we were on our way. We started with dinner in Chinatown. Then we went to the Ritz (a dance club featuring live music). We saw "Steel Pulse", a reggae/steel drum West Indian band. We danced and made all kind of penetrating eye contact. We left at 3am. I stopped the car at a news stand and got some breath mints anticipating making out. I parked in front of her apartment house and it started happening. We drove a block or two to a quiet side street. I put in a 90 minute tape of the perfect music for the occasion. We made out through the tape until it started over. She had never had an orgasm before. But holding each other so close and her presssing herself against my wood with our clothes on she found this thing happening in her. I encouraged her to let it happen all the way. She screamed when it did. Afterward she started feeling embarassed and apologetic. I reassured her that it was a good thing. And that there would be many more of those. I never got naked or anything and she finally went home. I drove home and found when I tried to get out of the car that I had the painfull "blue balls" I had heard of but never experience before. We became inspearable for 5 years. I still love her wherever she is. I can't imagine much of a better date night.
LisaLee Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Probably the most romantic one would be the first date with my SO, mostly because of the significance it was to us. We went to the Natural History museum in Ann Arbor, then Subway. We walked all over downtown, and watched a newly married couple take their wedding pics outside a very beautiful, old building. Tried to crash the reception but SO chickened out because we weren't dressed properly. So we loitered in the hallway. I was actually very sick that day; when we went back to his apartment I slept on the couch and then threw up later that evening. I felt much better afterward, though, and it in no way ruined our day. ...and sang songs to each other. I sang "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly" to my boyfriend last night, but alas, he did not join in with me (though he said he would if he knew the words). Edited October 14, 2010 by LisaLee

That's cute! I'm trying to recall how that song goes but can't. The song I sang was Fiona Apple's "Pale September". I can't tell what BF sang because it was all in Hindi... That made it even more romantic to me though.
2sure Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 NYC. Guy was still in college. I was not. I was hesitant to go out with him but agreed to meet him in Central Park for a walk. He met with me a picnic basket filled with many little appetizer sized dishes he had made at his apartment and a picnic blanket, bottle of cheap wine. While we were eating and talking...a violinist appeared out of nowhere to serenade us. It was his roommate. Sigh. Sweet Guy.
SilentVoice Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 a violinist appeared out of nowhere to serenade us. It was his roommate. Sigh. Sweet Guy. Aww .... but his roommate must have lost a bet to him to do that. But it is soo sweet
2sure Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I know!! I never went out with him again because at the time I was a materialistic shrew. And you know...he is probably a CEO somewhere now. Still cant believe me.
JungleLover Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I know!! I never went out with him again because at the time I was a materialistic shrew. And you know...he is probably a CEO somewhere now. Still cant believe me. After I read the the first thread, I was thinking that I bet he still didn't win your heart and then you came with this one. LOL.
yah Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Most romantic date was with my ex-fiance. We flew out to Tampa Bay and spent the day together with him showing me his hometown and the beautiful beach. Went off-roading and then took the boat out to the water. At night we walked around the dock, looked at the stars and talked about the family we would have one day. We broke off the engagement later that year... but it was very romantic at the time!!
djhall Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Many years ago a friend brought a friend to go boating with me and my roommate. The friend and I hit it off and flirted a lot during the day. That night we all went back to the apartment to shower and change before going out to dinner. After I showered she followed me into my room, closed the door, ripped my towel away, and pushed me hard onto my back on the bed. Then she climbed on the bed and claimed her prize while my roommate and friend waited in the living room. It was so romantic! :love:
pandagirl Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 For me, it was never about what we actually did, but the emotions related to the night. We saw a movie, went to a fancy NYC bar, ate korean food and then had a blast going to karaoke. Nothing particularly special or romantic, but the way he looked at me all night... That night before we went to bed as he was falling asleep, he told me he was in love with me. I'll never forget that night.
