[BBS] What's in a Date?

[fierybluebird]

Since we all come from various different backgrounds, I'm curious as to what everyone of age deems a good date?

Are there any cliches where you're from that you want to avoid? Or perhaps customs that are absolutely required? When you want to go formal, do you prefer big and splashy or something quiet and intimate? Of course generally it's best to tailor such a thing to the person you're dating, but what if they're not sure? Do you bring a gift, and what kind, or is that too over the top? Perhaps something from the heart is better.

Anyone got particular favorite date ideas they've been on or wish-dates to fulfill?

Fun ones are the best! Seeing new things and having adventures together!

[fierybluebird]

That's generally how I think too.

What kind of new things do you like to see though?

[killurseawitch.livejournal.com]

Everything.

[This is not a lie. Sob.]

This world is so fascinating...!

[Sits all up in the post. She wants to see where this will go.]

I think I'll sit this one out.

Hey, that's cheating. You're depriving the innocent helpless of valuable experience only you can give them.

[redcinemareel]

I feel it would be cheating to tell you what I like. It's more beneficial if you learn so on your own.

[Only Zelos would put his name to something like this... And in such a flashy way...]

[fierybluebird]

I'm pretty sure even most of the guys here know not to do that, think you could be more specific though?

All of the above.

I'm trying to match up cultural commonalities in this area.

I've never had time to actually go on a date, so don't ask me.

[fierybluebird]

Want me to take you out?

[fierybluebird]

Hey Nepeta, [He's guessing from the fur and purr puns.]

I haven't been up to much, you?

No ideas of a dream date or anything?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

It seems like the most important thing is being with someone you like. ['As long as you're not chasing ghosts through an abandoned village or something, anything is good!'] Almost anything can be enjoyable that way. Maybe you could think of something meaningful that would have the same importance to both of you?

[fierybluebird]

Aye, that seems to be a general consensus.

Got anything you'd personally like on a dream date?

[toseehimsmile.livejournal.com]

I like a date that's romantic and very cute~

[fierybluebird]

Sounds nice, got any particular details on what makes it like that?

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

My only requirement is...

It's gotta be intimate, but it can't be just boring sappy shit either. I need something extreme.

[fierybluebird]

Something extreme?

[ohsoschway.livejournal.com]

The main thing in my 'verse to avoid is dreg hot-spots.

As for what to do, usually we hit one of the clubs, dinner and then whatever else we feel like at the time. If it's a first date, the first two are pretty much always done.

Ah, thanks. Very solid advice. [Since that is what he did too, so total approval from him.]

What if you wanted to go a bit more formal though?

[kissmydamask.livejournal.com]

Gifts. You have to give her gifts. Flowers, jewellery. Sweets and fruit are good, especially if she's got a sweet tooth. Show her you care, you know? Try to keep your hands where she can see them, and if her father's around, don't touch her at all because he'll probably try to kill you.

Getting her on her own's a good idea, too, but only if her family won't go looking, and especially only if you know the way around. Or she does. Sure, getting lost together can be romantic, but usually it's just a way to give her a headache or scare her off. You don't want to ask for directions.

And try not to run off on her if her father shows up, because that's just rude, and he'll probably send the city guard after you if he doesn't chase after you himself.

ooc: /sobs my character....

[fierybluebird]

Wow.

I think you just described advice on how someone should seduce me.

Should I be worried?
