What’s your idea of the perfect date?
He picks me up but lets me drive. We go to 7/11, procure Slurpees and compare brain freezes*; following cranial defrosting, we go to an olden-timey arcade and play Skee-Ball until my arm is sore*. We trade in the tickets we have accrued from said ball throwing for some sort of plasticky delight (preferably a guy with a parachute that we can throw) and leave.
We go back to his place and bake cupcakes* (not a metaphor) and eat them until we either run out or feel like we may explode, take a post-baking power nap, wake up feeling too lazy to do anything else and spend the rest of the afternoon hanging out, talking, whatever.

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
* = I have actually done this on a date and it was splendid
also, random, but if you remember my ranting about not liking “best” as an email signoff (see fourish entries ago), I was hoist with my own petard the other day – I had to email someone I didn’t really know and I was, like, what do I use?! Cheers? It stressed me out so I just wrote -Natalia. That works, right?

park, picnic, photography excursion… soemthing along those lines.
I love that date idea, Nat. So fun!
My ideal date would be visiting thrift stores, trying on stupid outfits, looking at vintage books, and talking over live music at a coffee bar.
Did you know National Slurpee day is July 11th? 7/11
Go out and celebrate! And maybe grab a date?
That sounds like the cutest day ever! Thats for the idea.
That DOES sound like the perfect date.
That sounds fun, actually. Pick you up at 7?
Seriously though… that’s a very low-maintenance attitude toward dating. Simple and intimate. But my favorite part is the “not a metaphor” disclaimer. You KNEW people would go there. lol
That would be a great date.
That all sounds like great fun… but only with the right person.
I think Natalia is fine.
@angi1972 - that’s a good point. If they’re rude, then FORGET IT! (That’s my rule!)
