Best date ideas - Think you know cupid?

although i am married i still call them "dates" because we still act the same now as we did 10 yeara ago in college dating. My question for all you smarty pants is: anyone have any ideas for a date idea or first date idea that could be fun for any age or location? I'd love to hear your ideas.

Best date ideas - Think you know cupid?
Hmm. 2 ideas. Definitely not first dates though! ;o)





1) Requires secluded picnic spot with comfortable place to spread soft blanket (i.e., no bugs, rocks, snakes, poison ivy - you get the idea). Drink: yummy very cold champagne with real glasses (the real is important for clinking as well as taste). A really yum-yummy champagne is Piper Heidsieck demi-sec cuvee sublime. Hard to find, but not horribly expensive (usually around $45). If she's not a big fan of champagne, try a French hard cider. Much cheaper but there are quite yummy ones too. Ask which is a sweetish one (but not too sweet) because they can be sour sometimes. If you don't drink at all, sparkling cider is just as good. Food: favorite fruits. Depending on likes, good ones are strawberries, pineapple, mango, grapes. Cut pineapple in chunks %26amp; mango in slices (no skin, and never put your mouth on mango skin - often produces a nasty allergic reaction). Make sure the mango is ripe, and don't get the "champagne" mangoes (smaller yellowish ones) - unreliable as to yummyness. Make a vanilla yogurt (be indulgent %26amp; use a whole milk one) and honey dip, with a little cinnamon %26amp; nutmeg to taste. If you can grate it fresh that's good (this has to stay cold too). Bananas are good too, but don't cut them ahead of time. They get brown and besides, it can be very sensual to peel them. Dipping %26amp; feeding each other the fruit is also a very sensual activity - if you can keep from giggling, which can be romantic too! Fruit is best for a romantic picnic because it all smells wonderful (unlike cheese, which people often think of as romantic picnic food - ick). Also good for licking off in case it falls on you accidentally... This is a lot of prep work for you, but that's part of the charm for her, that you went to all this trouble. And bring some wipes to get the stickiness off your hands when you're done. Being prepared %26amp; considerate is sexy!





2) If you want something a little more exotic, you can play pretend. Arrange to meet somewhere. You can decide ahead of time whether you'll be yourselves, or create entirely different personas - but don't tell what, that's part of the fun (a sessions musician? an anthropologist? a massage therapist? a detective?). When you get there, whomever's there second should go over to the other %26amp; strike up a conversation as though you're strangers. Could be at the bar area of a restaurant, or at an event you'll both enjoy (e.g., an outdoor concert or a museum). The main thing is to pretend you don't know each other - you'll have to talk to each other as if you don't know anything about each other except that you're attracted, and you sometimes find out things you wouldn't have in normal conversation, even with someone you know so well. If you don't like pretending it won't be fun, but if you do it's a lot of fun. The objective is to get her to leave with you %26amp; go to a hotel - even just for a couple of hours! - and keep up the pretense there as you register. Once you're alone you can drop the characters - or not, as you like! Do your research ahead of time to find a decent, cool place that will let you check in and out in a couple of hours. If you have to, explain to the manager that you're just setting up a romantic date for your wife. Not a bed %26amp; breakfast, someplace big enough to be anonymous. Same for where you meet up - don't go someplace you always go, because getting recognized will end the game.





This is if you are looking for different. There's always the tickets to something she really wants to go to idea, but the problem with getting tickets way ahead of time is that children tend to get sick when you do!
Reply:I think it would be nice to get massages together and then after go to a romantic restaurant for good food and dancing.You can spice it up and go to a hotel for a night. :)
