[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?

- Marco

Ah, I have heard that before...

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

It's not a bad thing.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

No?

[A glance, and then back down at his sketchbook]

Ah, well, I view myself as quite ordinary and boring.

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

Really? I cannot even begin to comprehend why you'd think that. I find you fascinating matey.

...Generally Westerners have similar opinions, but then attempt to change my ways to fit their own. [So it's weird hearing it... sounding like it's in a positive light... what]

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

But it's because you go your own way that you're cool.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He'll just pause

and then awkwardly draw Marco as a phoenix next to his itsumaden picture]

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

Hah~ It's me.

[One-armed hug.] Man you're good at this.

[Action]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[sir why do you have the hugging disease this is so strange]

Eh? I am flattered that you think so. Ah, though I wonder why you are a megane phoenix... [It looks like he's wearing glasses, he means...]

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

Eh? Oh. [Pulls out his glasses and puts them on.] They make me look smarter so everyone takes me more seriously.

[Action]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[LOOKS AT]

Ah, they do... [Wait. Marco you have a serious face to begin with, was that ever an issue. ...]

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

[Believe it or not, yes. He's had to use them a bunch of times in the gardens.]

See? Glasses off I look like a pirate. Glasses on, I'm a scholar.
