A Great Date? Hmmm.

[ercarta]

So I'm going to try to start a little fun here. I've been out of the dating game for so long now that I'm afraid to see what comes out of this thread. Yikes. :p

Question:

What are some of the subtleties or events that take place in a date that bunk your date to "GREAT" status from a women's perspective? Conversely, from a man's perspective? ;)


*Be sure to specify what side you're speaking on behalf of, male or female? Hard to tell reading user names.

Remember, this thread is just for fun. So have some fun. sammlung05

From a guy's perspective, I find that when my date genuinely laughs and my stories or when she maintains her attention on me all night long is a good sign. Subtle touches are also a good sign. And finally in any situation, a great conversation where everything just flowed, neither she nor I would need to force the discussion....those are my cues. Simple needs for me.

Plans for a second date....lol. j/k

Just an overall chemistry with eachother. Its a feeling you know shes a good one.

From a woman's prespective: I like dating gentlemen who pay attention to special details like opening car doors, helping me with my coat or chair, bringing me flowers or a perfect rose, and picking up the tab. Personality is very important -- I like dates who make me laugh, and who are down to earth, honest and open with me. Also, I only date non-smokers.

A bad date is when you can't wait to say goodbye! I think a good date is when you feel you've both enjoyed your time together, the conversation flows, your styles are compatible, there's humour and a little flirtation. Doesn't necessarily mean you meet up again, but it can still stick in the memory as a pleasant experience. A second date for me requires thee to be desire and intrigue and the sense that ordinary things will seem a little bit special on account of the company you're in.

Come to think of it, some of the greatest memories of dates I've been on were with girls that I dated only once.

I believe that a single date can also be an offset to a more intimate friendship between two people. Oddly, very rarely did a date turn into a romantic relationship. Rather, a closer friendship or a fleeting social experience. :)

You know I've always wondered what the phenomenon behind a woman receiving flowers is. Can anyone clarify this for me? Is it the moment of receiving them that counts, because I do know they do not last long at all.

In fact, I know a few women that bring the flowers home and hang them upside down to dry them out right away. So they don't even get displayed. What is it about flower receiving that is so great? Or do you just feel gypped if the man does not go through the motions for you? Hmm. :confused:

Any woman's response will do.
