FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

A romantic dinner full of laughter and intellicaual conversation followed by dancing in the city.

A walk in the park with ice cream!! Go for a coffee or a nice afternoon lunch

meet on common ground,public place,coffee or lunch. Afternoon or early evening. maybe a movie

It's all about chemistry, isn't it? At least at first. It's like a glue that motivates two people to continue to know each other. I'm a hopeless romantic. I love all the things that anyone has ever described in these profiles. How I would love to sit with someone on my swing on a balmy summer night with the full moon overhead listening to Debussy's Clair de Lune! Or maybe that someone would like me to play it on the piano just for her. I live alone in the high desert (not the Mojave) where the days cool off nicely. and the night sky is dark with myriad stars. Though I am only a mile from a small town, it does sometimes feel like an outpost from civilization. But for me that's the charm. Upon the first mention of the word 'desert' most people recoil in a knee-jerk reaction, but it's not as bad as one might think. Though some joke about it, the air is drier here and it makes a big difference in one's comfort. The winters are actually more severe at times than the heat of summer and can be a bit challenging - but sometimes comes the snow and it is beautiful as you will see in my pictures. I know i'm in my early seventies. I feel like it's a curse because I also feel I have so much love and affection to give to the right person who wants and needs that - yet many feel i'm too old and bereft of those youthful things of yore. But they are wrong! You don't need to look like a princess for me. All you need do is to bring that mystical something we call chemistry that occurs between two people who barely understand why it's happening but are quite glad that it is. I'm a retired teacher, smart, literate, and fairly well read. I could be better read, but I love to work outside the house more than read a book on the inside of the house. Maybe it's just a 'guy thing'. Well,I'm almost out of space. I wanted to talk about traveling. Suffice to say, I love it and would love it more with my favorite gal.

Meet in a public place for coffee or to see a movie

Lunch on a boat, maybe a little fishing. I love the outdoors, although the summers aren't my favorite.(don't like being hot and yucky) rather be making a snowman or snow angel!!!

Coffee or Tea, Brunch, lunch or your choice if meal or snack ideas.

Location depends on many factors, hopefully not a fast food Restaurant. UGH! Want it to be quiet!

Coffee and conversation sounds good.

Will consider any suggestions. I do love chicken wings or ribs.

Not a first date - more like a first meet up, a sharing of commonalities, goals, ideas.

Meet in a public place for coffee or lunch and see where it goes

Meet for coffee just to meet

getting to know each other...introduction...what are we looking for in each other.

Assuming some prior communication occurred and we both think a meeting could be fun and/or worthwhile - a nice restaurant where we might carry on a conversation w/out shouting.

Conversation over a cup or coffee or lunch works for me.

I would rather talk over a meal share by both of us and just chit chat and see where it wants to go.

Over coffee preferably Starbucks.

Coffee or a drink on the water

I'm sure we can agree on the simple things like dining out or sipping a cup of coffee at our local cafe, but, why don't we work on this one together as we go along. Are you up for it!
