[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?

ooc: /sobs my character....

Wow.

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

Should I be worried?

WHOOPS

Hey, what can I say? I figured out what not to do. I'd say it's working out pretty well.

Did you get the girl without her father killing you?

2/3

[fierybluebird]

WHAT AM I EVEN SAYING?

Done

[fierybluebird]

You shouldn't try to steal the girl from her father! You should make a good impression on both of them so that the girl would have enough respect for you to even consider it!

What the hell man?! Father's are only the enemy if you're going to do something suspicious! Jeez....

[kissmydamask.livejournal.com]

Look, if the girl's willing, then she's willing, and that's it! There's only so much I can do to make a good impression on the father, and even if I do, it sure isn't him I'm there for.






















And of course I got the girl, how else could I be telling you this now?

[Leaving out that a) he got multiple girls, b) he's always suspicious, and c) he's never actually tried making a good impression on the father...

What, he knows Elika's probably reading this, he's not stupid.]

[fierybluebird]

Then you're probably not going after the right kind of girls to begin with! Any father would want to protect his child, that's his job!

[kissmydamask.livejournal.com]

I know that's his job, why do you think I'm telling you to be careful around her family?

[fierybluebird]

That's not how you're supposed to be careful around the family! You have to win them over! Yes, it's still about the girl, but if you can't even get along with her support network, maybe you aren't that good for her!

[kissmydamask.livejournal.com]

I'm never good enough for her, that's the point!

[fierybluebird]

You could be.

First step might be trying to build her up instead of tear her down or practically kidnap her.

[kissmydamask.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about tearing down or kidnapping? Nothing happens unless she says so!

[fierybluebird]

Even still.
