[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?

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!

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.

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

Even still.
