Romance

[SexualDreamer]

What do you consider to be a romantic date? For each person it is different but tell what you would consider to be a romantic date.

I'm not sure dates really have a lot to do with romance. I mean a date can set the scene, the choice of date activity can be thoughtful or inconsiderate, but it's how the other person acts and what they say that makes it romantic or not.

Romance has a lot to do chemistry and actions but there are certainly dates I find *more* romantic than others.

Dinner and a movie is over-done and cliche. Not romantic.

A trip to the zoo or to a wildlife park or a museum, etc...those are the kinds of things that I personally find romantic.

Something slightly out of the ordinary, I think, is more romantic than the standard date (dinner and a movie.) It doesn't have to be so far afield (llike skydiving) but I think the important part of romance is either making it all about your date. By the same token, staying home and cooking a meal for your date can be exceptionally romantic.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... cliched but still fun romantic and fun; dinner at a fancy restaurant, drinks at a club and some dancing until very late.

NON-TRADITIONAL romantic; spending most of the weekend at a sci-fi/comic convention wandering through panels, doing lots of shopping, getting lots of compliments for our costumes, then dinner but at a casual but family-run dive, going to a goofy action-flick where we're the only peole in the theater so she and I can just gab and be silly and make-out through the movie, then go for a walk for a bit, grab some ice cream from a small shop, stopping back at the convention, catch a few more panels, stick around for the HORRIBLE but funny as hell midnight movie in the convention video room, making out in the elevator to our hotel room and then ripping each other's clothes off and fucking till we scream, then a long, warm shower together, maybe making love in the shower, maybe just cuddling and kissing, watching TV and slowly falling asleep...

Should I dare to say that I have done that as well. Well not so much of a date. My boyfriend ran around to find various Transformers while I was left to fend off some of the less socially capable at the convention....

Setting and atmosphere. Even wandering downtown can be romantic, if both parties make it. Fill the date with small, thoughtful and sweet gestures, such as making an origami flower out of the ice cream receipt and giving it to her as a token. Conventions (like the Sci-fi one), museums, fairs, carnivals, the circus, a show, poetry readings, the zoo, blues clubs, wine/beer tasting can all potentially can be romantic milieus. Not rushing, and enjoying the moment is romantic. Carving out the time and making it special is romantic.Consideration is romantic. Great conversation (even silly) and laughter is romantic. That's just me, though. I've been accused of being slightly odd .

Good luck.

fire_breeze Very nice! Those do sound good...I especally like the talking and laughter... laughing is always a good thing.

I wanted to do this topic because there are some men out there who may not know what us women consider romantic.

I would also like to add... on a cool evening .. some soft music in the back ground and a nice roaring fire place is very nice as well... with a little dancing throwed in for the beginning of a build up of sexual tension.

Or perhaps sitting/laying outside (I have done this in the bed of a pick up with blankets on the bed) some music playing in the background and laying there looking up at the stars.

You do not have to spend a great deal on a romantic time.. just be thoughtful.

A woman wants creativity on the man's part, but it seems all of the good ideas have been done before.
Candlelight dinners and rose petals aside, this was a typical ideas that man think.. but even in a simple things you can make your date romantic.. like Having a snowball fight!.. Make snow angels together… Build a snow-couple together!.. Get frisky in front of the fireplace… take a walk and talk, most romantic thing a man can do is take the time to listen to what a woman has to say, and then open up and share his thoughts and feelings. that was simply romantic…

I've always been very easy to please. My boyfriend and I don't do dates but simple things we do together I could see as being very romantic.

Taking trips together. You'd be surprised how romantic driving with your signifigant other would be. The scrolling scenery around you, talking to each other, sharing your thoughts/feelings/whatever's on your mind and enjoying that time together. I especially like it at night. We haven't had the chance to do it but my boyfriend wants to take me to a place he used to go when he was younger. He'd park and look at the stars.

I don't mind traditional dates but the non-traditional stuff is what matters most. I'd appreciate my boyfriend writing "I love you" in mustard on my sandwich than buying me a bouquet of roses.

It all depends with me. I enjoy dating athletic girls, and as weird as it may seem alot of my first dates have been going down to the park to play a couple pick up games of basketball.

One of the most "romantic" dates I had was during a game day here at my college. I go to UF so it gets pretty crazy. But we got together with some friends early in the AM and we all had a awesome game of football. From there we went to the game and afterwards went out to a bar had some drinks and danced.

Thank you It's what first came to mind.

I guess it depends on the two individuals. What I consider to be romantic may seem completely off-kilter to another.

What's the most important thing about romantic dates is the time, and the thought. If I know the person has put the thought into it, then that's romantic for me than the tried-and-true 'romantic gestures'. As SolidSoldier83 said, sometimes a one-on-one basketball game can be romantic - especially if we're not taking the game seriously and we both cheat.

Exactly, what one person may view as a perfect date, another may view as a perfect torture. A ball game, couple drinks and talking afterwards, movie at home is my idea of a perfect date.
