This sounds just perfect to me.<br /><br />My perfect date with Mister is pretty much the cruise we have coming up- we've been on lots of fun dates over the past 4+ years, so something a little out of the ordinary is going to be fun. Otherwise? A BBQ at home with cold drinks and a movie after is pretty much my perfect night.Kyla Romahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522259960482023707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-2634068642461453802009-07-10T15:31:43.976-05:002009-07-10T15:31:43.976-05:00Oops, and I don't really have a perfect date, ...Oops, and I don't really have a perfect date, but my best date? Was probably when I showed up at Steve's apartment (with two bottles of champagne in hand, haha) and he made us a delicious pasta dinner. Then we drank both bottles of wine while watching 300 (yes...) and went to another bonfire party where we drank beers and sipped rum all night. And then we went back to his place and I landed on my face in his bathroom, literally. (But it made for an awesome story for him to tell his parents after!)oyveyheyheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373511769915482363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-6303504345201957262009-07-10T15:29:06.011-05:002009-07-10T15:29:06.011-05:00First of all - OMG, sex on the third date!

Why would he say he's been thinking about you all week? I know it SOUNDS nice to hear, but honestly it can be a real burn once you realize he's too interested in you. Mystery makes you think about him more.<br /><br />2. Him telling you that you look nice over and over is also a failure. If you DON'T receive a shitload of compliments, the ones you do receive are worth more. Plus it makes you raise your own standard of looking nice, in order to get his attention more.<br /><br />Otherwise, class act. Not telling you what Plan B was is a PERFECT thing for a man to do. Also, kissing you early is awesome, I highly recommend it on date #2. That is, if the woman is showing signs of attraction, otherwise I bail early on date #2.<br /><br />Congrats. Date #3 is even more nerve-wracking since so many people adhere to the sex-on-date-3 in Chicago. Odd, but true.<br /><br />Don't get nervous.ChicagoSanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340155009202867002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-88279026165889369832009-07-10T15:15:54.852-05:002009-07-10T15:15:54.852-05:00oooh yay for a good guy! that is awesome he made t...oooh yay for a good guy! that is awesome he made the first move and woo for date #3.Katelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994241556437259884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-36829020106851306852009-07-10T13:16:27.577-05:002009-07-10T13:16:27.577-05:00yay! i'm so glad it went well - he sounds like...yay! i'm so glad it went well - he sounds like quite the catch. <br /><br />that sounds like a perfect date. 8 years into my relationship with my husband (not even married a year yet), you sometimes forget to do those things. we have date night every friday, but usually just go to dinner. maybe i'll come up with something more creative tonight. like dinner at a NEW restaurant ;)jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899230553694156798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-72083335420460114922009-07-10T10:15:05.400-05:002009-07-10T10:15:05.400-05:00What a cute date!

I'm not THAT easy!<br /><br />My best date ever was one that was pretty darn spontaneous. Dinner was planned, but afterward we went to a bar and shot some pool, then he taught me how to drive his car, which was a stick-shift. TOTALLY fun.<br /><br />I just like when the conversation flows easily and there are no awkward pauses. That's always the best sign.Pretty Unfamoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049313019260731194noreply@blogger.com
