FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

A coffee shop to sit & chat a while. Say what we are looking for in a possible future friendship ? I am looking for a long time friend not a fast relationship. To walk & talk & dance it we can.

Would you be interested in a cup of coffeea and/or taking a walk?

Out for a nice dinner and chat.

My initial meeting would be of eager anticipation of intellectual conversation about matters that interest both of us, or topics that may be new and untried. There would then develop that emotional sense of caring that comes when the feelings of each are found to be sailing in the same direction with the same wind but without the sense of competition. It would be an imagined flotilla of ships (ideas) sailing the same sea (the universe) towards some common goal (appreciation of an aesthetic existence.) The conversation would be all-consuming as each one seeks to delve into the mind of the other to gain a sense of satisfaction in sharing much the same as two fans look to each other saying,_Did you see THAT?_ and knowing that the other DID see THAT. Or, smiling with admiration for the tail of Haley's comet, or the breast of the robin, or the pecking beak of that infernal woodpecker. Yet, each would appreciate the differences of the other --one who while swimming prefers the breast stroke as opposed to the butterfly -- and be willing to accept the differences as positive attributes and signs of the strengths of the other. What makes my heart feel the warmth of blood rushing to the extremities in wild anticipation of joyful union of hearts, minds, and bodies? The willing acceptance of romantic spontaneity --not ordering that special entree because it presumes too much--but allowing the freedom to choose without restraint to stay or go, to go fast or slow, to speak or not, to dream aloud, or select chopped hamburger over filet mignon and popcorn over pop art. The sharing of experiences that are common to both--walks on the beach; Beethoven, Saint Saens, Journey, Air Supply, Cat Stevens, Air Supply II, Elton John; double cheeseburgers for a buck; Blizzards at certain ice cream outlets; thick crust pizza; unexpected roller coaster rides; sharing good stories; listening to the whispers of the breeze through our own silent moments that say nothing to anyone but every...

Would you like to go to some cosy restaurants, with a candlelight dinner and a some sweet music to dance with.

The first date should be after we believe there is a attraction. Meeting where we both feel comfortable and have the opportunity to talk and look into each others eyes. In New York I like the Cloisters or the Botanical Gardens experiencing some thing together . Coffee is a tad dull. Feeling comfortable and safe is important. I am open to to your suggestions.

Walk in Washington Park on a warm sunny afternoon.

Let's have a seafood dinner at an ocean front resturant.

I believe we must meet for coffe or tea. Then we could decide if we would like to go out on a date.

Coffee or tea and a walk in the park or at the beach

WE'D MEET AT THE NIGHT OUT IN HIGHLAND THIS FRIDAY AND IF YOU SEE SOME ONE IN A KILT DON'T BE SURPRISED.

Perhaps coffee or brunch, whatever we both agree on.

My first date would be on a tennis court,golf course or in a coffee shop.

At my favorite seaside restaurant in Bodega Bay named The Bluewater Bistro and Bar. And then afterwards a walk on the beach

Dinner and wine at nice italian restaurant bar,where we can talk,laugh,get to know each other.

Informal lunch, How about grabbing a burger and fries?

My first date would be in a quiet restaurant where we could get to know each other better. Neutral ground is always easier for first time meets.

Drinks and appetizers at a waterfront restaurant.

Our firat meeting would be mutually agred upon.

What if we went to dinner at one of the spots that have live music and later maybe stop for coffee?
