That one actually sounds pretty fun. I don't know of any Denny's in my area, but IHOP could substitute. :)

IHOP is suitable. It's just more expensive. Now I want blueberry pancakes... Mmmmm...

Every relationship I've had has just started with hanging out at each other's houses/apartments, or with mutual friends... I've never really been on a "date", not before I was already in a relationship with her anyway.


this was how both of mine started too.. we very rarely went out on "Dates" with just the two of us before we were actually a couple. We did "Friend dates" with just us a few times before we were officially a couple.. but that just reinforced how much of a couple we had already became and finalized it. Never did the whole thing where I go and pick her up and take her out and plow tons of money into trying to impress her. She already liked me and wanted to be with me and it made the whole thing much more fulfilling..

My dates are perfectly organized. There are always four stages.

1.- Dinner: He talks a lot about how cool he is.
2.- Place where a lot of hipsters drink tea: He sits next to me and he talks about his "crazy and horrible exgirlfriend", then he says that he doesn't want a relationship anymore, only sex.
3.- Bar: We drink a beer and he touches me, saying nasty things to me, he tries to kiss me, saying again that he only wants sex.
4.- I call a taxi and I have the first interesting and non-sexualized conversation of the night with the taxi driver.

Add in step 3 1/2 where he starts sobbing uncontrollably about how no one's even looked at his penis in years, and I'd swear you've been on at least a few dates with me.

No, I don't generally hang out with mutual friends for a date, I wouldn't consider that a date. And if it was, they certainly wouldn't be getting the best of me! Group situations are the worst.

If I was hanging out at their house watching a movie or something, I probably wouldn't call that a date either because we'd already be "seeing each other" or "a couple" by the time I did that.

So my dates are generally one of the following:

cafe for a coffee or lunch
quiet bar for a drink
restaurant
cinema
park for a bushwalk
show (e.g. comedy)
mini golf

I prefer dates at home. It's seems much nicer to me. I could make dinner ( either with or for ) her. Then we eat at watch a movie or something. Maybe play games like Mario Party or an old fashioned board game. I prefer this over dates at restaurants, cafés, pubs, cienemas etc because at those places there will be noises and things to distract me and make me tired. So it's much better for me to do something at home.

Had a date last night at the local Tea establishment. I brought my tarot cards and she brought her runes and we gave each other readings. A random woman noticed and asked if she could pay us to give her and her friend a reading. We got her to pay for our tea in exchange and then we went for a walk to the park and made out. Perfect date. Romantic, memorable and free!

I can only put my fingers on top of dates, or hold them in my hand. They are much too small to go all the way on top, unless I am standing on a whole pile, which seems wasteful, IMO.

I agree with the first answers. Dinner and Movie is someting you do in my country, when you are already in an relationship or have at least done the first steps toward an relationship. So without any difference I meet girls and boys regular at home when doing stuff with friends, and if someone is more interesting to you, you naturally start to hang around with him/her more.

I wouldnt know, what the hell I should do with a foreign person the whole evening.

Our first official date as relationship partners, was hanging around at his home and watching television. ^^ So the same stuff, we did before with a group of friends, but without the group. ^^

House dates are great, last house date I had we ended up watching Lord of the Rings and the house date before that we ended up having sex and playing videogames. The cinema is definitely the worst place to date because you can't exactly talk, haha but I think arcades are great places to date as it gives you both an activity to focus on.

We don't have much arcades around here. But dates at the cinema can be good, because it makes body contact easier. At least for me it seems that way. It probably isn't too good for a first date, though.
