Best dates you've been on

[QUOTE=Noah930;4613111][QUOTE=Shaun 84 Targa;4613086]hey Todd, to which date at the Copley Marriott are you referring?

Dude, have you been in a hole these past 24 hours? Some young lady got murdered in the hotel. They have all sorts of security video cameras of the suspect in the hotel, and walking down Brookline Ave. Very weird to see those photos, and know that you've literally stood in the exact same place before.

Funny Noah and I both move to the west coast and we know more about what's going on in Boston than the locals do! Hey Shaun if she's still around we can double date when I'm back in May..
OR how about computer game night with Chris B and the boys ? If that doesn't make you look non geeky nothing will!!!

Here's a joke to woo her with while looking at the frogs.
"Hey Baby, do you know what a horny frog says?"







"Rubbit."

Top that off with a nice dinner at a French restaurant serving frog's legs, eh?

My wife woke me one day and told me to get dressed we were going to breakfast. After that she drove me to a small airfield where she treated me to an hour in a glider. It was better than sex.

I can tell you about some bad ones

My wife and my second date came over month after our first date. She called me out of the blue with Supercross tickets. I found out years later she had no desire to go to a supercross, but she wanted to invite me to something I couldn't resist.

My best date wasn't with my wife. It was dinner at a nice restaurant and a play, but it was in HS so it seemed especially romantic.

Have a wonderful dinner, take your time, listen to the music, talk, go for a walk......and offer to take her home. No strings attached.

Hold On

This is not a bad plan either.

Karl, you're a romantic.

Shaun listen to Karl, if she agrees to it you really cannot go wrong with his suggestion.

You know a lot of people hate the whole boat on the water thing. Myself included.

My ultimate dream date involves a hot female cop, her cruiser, some handcuffs, and "stern on the spot punishment."

Muwahahaha

At least one of you is doing it wrong.

[911Rob]

Best date I ever had was at the Toronto CN Tower spinning restaurant; took my girl for a romantic dinner and told her I loved her. She broke out crying, she was so happy. I married her a year later

From the very first date I treated my wife like a Queen, but that was the best of the best.

[m21sniper]

IMO so far Karls suggestion is the clear winner for a 2nd date where the man is doing the planning. (For the ladies you cannot possibly go wrong with the story i related earlier if you are really into a guy and are ready to get funky.)

The quiet home cooked dinner and talking is a very, very, very good way to get comfortable/intimate/lucky and doesn't cost a lot of bread, so even broke guys can do it too.

If the woman agrees to it at all you already know that she is highly interested in you, and trusts you to a fairly high level- so it's also a good litmus test.

Actually i hope they do...well, the female cops anyway.

[KarlCarrera]

Thanks Snipe

Don't know if I'm a romantic, but it sure seems to work. (At least it did 27 years ago). And your right, low budget. Let's you know if she's as interested in you, as you are in her. Find out what she likes, bust your butt to cook it well. It will also let you know if this will be a high maintenance or low maintenance relationship.

Give it a try Shaun.

Nobody believes him when he tells Robert. But later Robert goes to her apartment & finds it is filled with pictures of frogs & aquariums with frogs in them everywhere -- hundreds of frogs! Robert freaks out & his girlfriend says, "You know Robert, we all come from frogs". With that, Robert made a quick exit.

Let's hope your date doesn't turn out to be a frog-lady!

Take her to the Volvo next week. Even if you/she doesnt like the water, this is something to see. Sort of like F1 on the water. There will be parties all over town and I've read Boston is putting on quite a show.

[vash]

i saw the exorcist with a group of friends met a cute, very nice girl in the group. went home and told my best friend, "i met my wife tonight".

i called her and proved that i have absolutely zero game. how i got married is a total mystery.

now some other "not so nice girls"..those were DATES! j/k. i was just practicing for the real thing.

My buddy use to own the Orange Julius in Fishermans Village, Marina del Rey back in the late 80's.
Went to the top of the light tower, wine and sunset; pretty awesome...

Best recent:
1. Father Daughter dance... by far...

LMAO, here it is 3;30 am and I am working but reading this stuff is just a crack up. Oops, the boss is looking over my shoulder, back to work, that was funny.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Thanks for all the suggestions, it turned out to be a great second date, very simple and lowkey, which, surprisingly, she thanked me for at the end. She came over to my place, we went into Boston, walked around the Commons, stopped at a specialty chocolate shop for snacks, walked over to the restaurant and had a nice long dinner, came back to place.

There will be more, so hopefully I can pull from ideas here. We're definitely going to see the Frogs exhibit sometime soon.
