The Ideal Date

[SarahsKnight]

ou wouldn't object in the slightest if she wanted some uber-cheesy rom-com like, say, The Notebook?

I don't know if Saucy would object to it, but I DEFINITELY WOULD.

A good Christmas film, like Did Hard.

Bahah! I always watch Die Hard every Christmas. It's part of my tradition with friends, so I understand this. "It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza."

What's with all The Notebook dislike?! It can't be that bad! Now I definitely need to watch it.

This is a "love story" where I constantly asked myself, "Am I really supposed to be cheering for this couple?"

To put it lightly.

...I'm all ears for your take on the ultimate...
...Maybe you've got this awesome date memory you want to relive...

I do not have any ultimate date ideas.

But I do have a memory I want to share.

It wasn't a date; it was with a guy I was friends with before we became romantically involved with each other. We had gone to see the movie "Zombieland". If you haven't seen the movie, there's a character that goes by the name Columbus. There's a scene where Columbus encounters actor Bill Murray pretending to be a zombie. Columbus thinks that he is a real zombie and ends up shooting him. My friend and I laughed about it for a long time. We had a good time...

Ah yes! I remember that part! Bill Murray says something to the effect of, "It's my own fault, I'm too good of an actor." That's a great memory, thank you for sharing!

It's...a great example of a very unhealthy relationship that we're somehow supposed to cheer for. But it is a very well done, well acted film, for sure.

With autumn at hand, I long with all my soul to have someone to simply stroll with under the multi-hued canopy of leaves, hand in hand, chuckling when they drift down on our heads or gently slap us in the face. Then going home to turn on a favorite movie and snuggle up cozily on the loveseat with the evening all brisk and dark beyond the windowpane. Maybe fall asleep with my head on his chest. I would be in utter bliss.

Not a "first" date idea, obviously.

I've never personally dated anyone so you people will be getting a kind of Freudian look into who I am by me stating this. I think a picnic by a lake would allow both parties to be able to talk about who they are while also establishing common ground in a friendly manner while simultaneously being surrounded by nature. Ideally that nature is not hostile but I suppose that could potentially make it fun. Though depending on where you are it could also require a machete, so maybe avoid places like Alaska (mountain lions) or India (tigers) as I don't think taking a machete to a date would come off well.

Unless you both bring a machete!

Eating in front of another person, especially if I'm nervous, is not an ideal first date for me. I'd be anxious not to spill anything, get food stuck in my teeth, burp, hiccup, have food-smelly breath for the rest of the date, etc lol. Just for me, personally, I'd prefer a foodless first date. Subsequent dates after that, when I'm not buzzing with nerves? Sure.

That's understandable!

So, no plate of spaghetti on the first date? Haha
