Most Fun/Memorable Date

[Salayia]

What has been your most fun and/or memorable date you've ever had with your Significant Other so far?

[Ninedays9]

Our first is still the one we talk about the most... it really wasn't anything special in what we did.. just going to Perkins and Walmart and back to my apartment to play Elf Bowling on my computer, lol. But it was the first time we kissed after knowing each other for two and a half years, so it was special for that reason.

Huh, you know...hmmm. That's really hard. Seven years being together, and we definitely still date, it's hard to put my finger on that one date that was the most memorable. :soppy:

I'm with Gwen - we've been together so long (almost 11 years) it's really hard to pinpoint one date.

We're not ones that really like to go out - we're homebodies - and I really like nights where we get takeout, a movie and just be together.

Hubby and I have been together for 12 years tomorrow :soppy:

I think our first date was nice; nothing exciting, we just went out for drinks (he didn't drink though), but we talked for hours. I knew it was the start of something great.

A few weeks into our relationship we went on sort of a spur of the moment weekend vacation together. We got to talk and get to know each other a lot that weekend; I remember getting really drunk and pretty much poured my heart out to him (not saying I love you yet though). The next morning I was worried it would scare him away; still don't remember everything I said, but he said he wasn't going anywhere :wub:

I remember another date a few months later; we went out to eat and he gave me a cross necklace. Not for any no real reason; I had just mentioned wanting one not too long before and get got it for me ... I still wear it today.

We have not had any really exciting or romantic dates. Most have just been hanging out, going to dinner, and a few concerts. We have done weekends in Florida a lot too.

But I love every moment we spend together, no matter what we are doing :wub:

We've had so many laughs over the Eight years we've been together. Some going out just the two of us. Some just us at home. Others out and meeting up with friends. Or friends decending on us for an impromptu party. (We even celebrated Elektras Birthday with a party lol)

One that comes to mind was when we went into London for the day. Wandered around looking at the sights. Yes we live 20 minutes away. The sights have been seen a gazillion times. And DH used to work in the City Centre so he knows it well.

We got Lunch in a nice little pub off the beaten track. Then walked to the Train Station to wait with about 300 others for a coach to take us to a Recording Studio. Where we met AC/DC and took part in their music Video. That was a blast.

Finally got the chance to personally thank the Band for getting together with DH. We met on their Music Website / Chatroom. And without the music i wouldn't have a great Hubby.

Oh my goodness - It starts before we were even dating and we were just friends we went out on "ice cream dates" all the time. It used to be us two and a third girl we were both friends with and then slowly it was just us two. These dates were the most memorable because (bad girl alert) we were both technically dating other people and we would go out and get ice cream and vent about how much we hated our relationships lol. Those dates were definitely memorable.

I'd have to say our most memorable one was probably our first "real" date (even though at the time we didn't know it was a date). He picked me up and brought me a bouquet of flowers and my mom a bouquet too and we went out to dinner and to see a scary movie (When a Stranger Calls). I remember being scared and wishing he would put his arm around me or something cute like that - but he didn't. After the movie he asked if I wanted to go grab coffee - so we went to Dunkin Donuts and got coffee and donuts. I was kind of down in the dumps for 2 reasons - A.) He didn't try to make a move and B.) I was too scared to make a move.

So he drove me home and as I got out of the car I went to hug him like we always did and he gave me a peck on the lips. I dashed out of the car as quick as I could.

When he got home we chatted online and I asked him if we were officially a couple. He said "No, I still think it's too soon and we're moving too fast." So I was all disappointed but I didn't tell him - he goes "So Catt, will you go out with me?" I was all confused and he goes "I wanted to make sure you wanted to be official but I wanted to be the one to ask"

We've been together ever since!

Catt, your story is so cute! :D

And Brandi, congrats on 12 years!!! That's AWESOME!!!

Mitch, when I lived 45 minutes from LA, I would do that too! I'd been there a million times, but STILL loved to go to the city and act like a tourist. :yesnod: Of course, if I went there now, I WOULD be a tourist, so I probably wouldn't do any of the "touristy" things! ;)

OK, I've been thinking about this, and really, our most memorable date was the one I posted about in my wedding journal. But, I'm gonna post it here too. ;)

FH and I went hiking at this Civil War Battlefield. There were few maps of the place, and none of the hiking trails were on any map. So, we walked all around the place, taking different trails. Saw something that, to this day, we both think *might* have been a black bear and its cub. We were on one side of a creek, and "they" were on the other side. I saw something black and small go quickly back into the woods. At first, I thought it was a raccoon, but it was the middle of the day, and they're mostly out at night. But, it was about the same size as a large raccoon. And the real reason we think it was a black bear is because there was something bigger behind it, but they both moved too quickly back into the woods for us to tell exactly what they were.

So, we continued on, and got to the area where the whole battle began and took this trail to where the battle had started. By this time, we'd been at the battlefield for about 3 hours already. So, when we'd read and seen everything there, it was time to go back to the car. Well, I have this weird thing about hiking trails... I can't take a trail and not find out where it leads to (I think this trip cured me of that though! ). I'd read on one sign that the trail looped back to the main road (again, there were no maps though showing you WHERE the trail looped back), so since I had this thing about finding out where trails lead, I started walking. Nate says to me, "shouldn't we be going this way?" :yesnod: pointing back to where the car was parked. I said, "NO! I want to go THIS way! The sign SAID that the trail leads back to the main road!!!" :realmad: So, he follows.

Well, low and behold, the trail DID lead back to the main road... THREE MILES AWAY!!! So, it's the middle of summer, and I wasn't exactly wearing hiking clothes to begin with (jeans, of all things!), and not the most comfortable shoes either. By the time we figured out how far down the road we were, it was useless to turn back, so we kept walking... and walking... and walking. Finally, Nate says to me, "how about you sit here underneath the shade of this tree while I walk back and get the car?" :hearts:


It was the sweetest, most incredible thing anyone had ever done for me! I mean, despite me not being very nice about wanting to go a different way to get back to the car, and then finding out that he was right, and that we SHOULD have gone that way, he was STILL the sweetest, most unselfish person about the whole thing. And that really was the sweetest, most memorable date ever! :)

I don't know that it's necessarily the most memorable (and it's definitely not the most exciting) but my favorite "date" we've had was the December before we got married, we hosted his step-dad's family Christmas. After all the family had left and we were totally exhausted and I just didn't want to eat leftovers for dinner, so we hopped in the car and went to Sonic. After we ate we went driving around town looking at Christmas lights and talking for a couple of hours until I fell asleep in the car!

aww Catt your story is so cute!

Our most memorable date for me would be our first one.. After talking online and deciding to "take it to the next level" we met in the shopping center and he brought me flowers :hearts: and he picked the resturant (which was horrible) and I picked the movie (which was also horrible!) lol another inside joke of ours course he tries to blame both on me these days lol. So the movie let out at 1030 if i remember right and we put the tailgate on his truck down and just talked in the parking lot about everything. finally about 330 we decided it was time to part ways and go home. On the way home i said to myself that he was the one (turns out i was right :p)

Our most memorable one is so random!

We were off in college, but came home to visit our high school home town. We had an early movie night or something with all of our old high school friends at my mom's house. When everyone left around 10:00 I wanted to get out of the house and get something to eat. He asked me what I wanted to do, and I didn't know. So we finally decided on grabbing some Chinese food to split. I wanted to sit on a park bench and eat our food. Thought it would be romantic. We drove around for almost 20 minutes and couldn't find anything! So finally, we parked in the Barnes and Noble parking lot, got out of his van and sat under a lamp post, eating our food. It was simple, spontaneous and awkwardly romantic. We laughed and talked about all the memories we had there. Toward the end of our senior year in high school I yelled across that same parking lot that I really liked him and wanted to know where this was going and he just yelled back, "Wait until after graduation!" So, it was the perfect spot to have a random date night after we'd officially been dating for a while!
