Dream dates

[Mum2Bug]

Ok ladies (and the men if you read this)

As single parents we have been there, done that, iykwim and are now looking for a new love and a bit of romance. So what I would like, is your ideas of your dream dates, the ones that would sweep you off your feet.:D

[mum2littleman]

would so have to be a nice dinner, where he comes picks u up- comes to the door to get you, opens ur car door pulls out your chair- all the sweet things real men are ment to do. followed by sitting on the beach looking at the night sky and talking about anything and everything....

i like people that i can talk to... where im not sitting there thinking ummm wat to say..... i just like being me...

:laughing: I have to admit I laughed out loud with that one. And yes I am looking for newly dating ideas:D Im just not sure how I am going to top our first date:p

[LilShenanigans]

I like fun dates, something simple like watching a comedy at the cinema.. or if I lived in Qld going to a theme park.

If it's dinner, maybe have waiters dressed as random disney cartoons.

I dunno, to sweep me off my feet, it has to be different, out there, intriguing, and fun...
I'm not a big fan of romantic dinners and flowers. I actually hate flowers lol

[SweetSerenity]

I had my dream date a year ago :o:D I absolutely LOVED it.

We met up in Darling Harbour to go out for dinner, and he had also booked this beautiful room in the Novotel for us to stay in.

Instead of going out for dinner, we ordered room service and ate our dinner in the room, talking and looking out at the view.

After that we ended up going out for a nice walk in Darling Harbour and sat ourselves down on a bench and just sat there for an hour or so talking :)

We then walked back to our room, holding hands :goodvibes:, and then hopped into bed and watched a couple of movies and talked some more.

I went to sleep and the only contact he tried with me was stroking my hair as I went to sleep :cloud9:

It was so so sweet.

The next morning I had to leave early to pick peter up and he kissed me goodbye (our first kiss) and that was the end.

He then left for the UK for work that week after, and will be back on Anzac Day, where I'm now organising a lovely night for him :D

He's a perfect gentlemen and couldn't have made that night anymore special.

[Mum2Tyla]

it's funny before I had my daughter I never had any problems finding someone, I was never alone for long and could pick up easily but I guess my priorities are different and I dont have the same insecurities I had back then, so I am a bit fussier, sorry a bit off topic, i just want someone that will listen to me has a wacky sense of humour and can respect me. I would be happy to do something simple a guy doesnt have to spend a fortune on me, a nice picnic somewhere, a day at the zoo just anything where you can talk and get to know each other I guess. I am so happy for you mum2bug sounds like you have found a keeper I really hope it works out for you, try not to stress too much and just let things happen.

Aww Nat that is absolutely beautiful:goodvibes:

I wish perth had a more exciting night life or a theme park over here or something. I think I might look into some of the wine cruises we have here or something.:D

Kelly I have to admit I have been very lucky finding this man. It only took me 12 years grrrrr. But he makes me feel so special and I have never had that before. He has also been very patient with my insecurities and always does his best to make me smile. The best part is he adores Bug. (still confused how LOL). You have been through enough hun and one day you will find someone just as special. It seems to be true that the right one comes along when you are just going about your own life and not even looking for anyone. :hugs:
If you ever want to catch up for a chat and cuppa, let me know.

[tyler's mum]

I would be happy to just go for a happy meal if it meant i was on a date with a great guy:laughing:

Hey now there is a great idea. It means the kiddies have somewhere to play!!!!:laughing: Im not allowed to have too many dates without Bug so I might keep that idea as a back up. Just a pity the only great single guy I know works away a lot otherwise I would introduce you!

[neostudded]

:laughing: Yep, me to give me any setting as long as he is my soul mate, I dont care!! lol

I really havent have many life experiences so I dont think I would know what I would really like until it happen's.;) (but a baby sitter is a bonus!)

[OneBabyBoy]

The thought of going out at night in public scares me lol. What would I wear?? Where would we go?? :laughing: It's been wayyyy too long.

It's a bit unrealistic for me because I have noone to mind DS but I guess I would love to go to the movies, haven't been in 2 years now. I really can't think of anything else De :laughing: sorry !

[Mum2Bug]

We were originally going to go to the movies last week but because of my problems with being so lethargic with this anaemia, I probably wouldve fallen asleep. Next thing I knew I was walking along the beach under the stars. :D SSSSOOOO much better than the movies:laughing:

has he got a brother and does he live in canberra if not how did you meet him?

[Mum2Bug]

Sorry hun but not only is his brother not near you, he isnt anything like J either. I met him once 3.5 years ago and he seemed nice enough then but apparently he has changed over the years.:no:

Oh and i met them because they are my best friends cousins.

Aww Lou. You are going to make me cry :crying::p Thank you:hugs::hugs:

[Julez82]

My ideal date would be something that really stands out - it could be anything! A game of crazy golf, a boat ride, an art gallery, an exhibition, a parade - something that is memorable! It shows that the other person has taken the time to put some thought into the date, which makes you feel special. It could be a walk along the river or in a really beautiful park (especially at this time of year), so long as it's memorable!

The whole dinner and drinks things has been done too often for me... lol

[haydens#1mum]

A romantic moonlite dinner, at the beach would be my ideal date, then a walk along the beach and maybe a midnight swim.:laughing: depending on how much i liked the guy! If not a picnic at the beach, with my kids and the guy.
nothing fancy, I dont like eating at restuarants i feel subconscious.
What I want to know is how do you find a guy when your a single mum? Not that i want one now, but for future reference! :laughing:

Sherry, I cant answer that:laughing: It took me 3 years and even then it turned out that the only guy that interested me in that time is my besties cousin:D

[icthesky]

Well girls, it seems that the answers are as varied as the people who wrote them. Making the date special is the easy bit. Meeting that someone special is the challenge. I think maybe luck plays a big part. I have been wrecking my brain for a while now trying to figure out how to meet that someone special. The bar scene is not really the way to go by the looks of things. I've tried the RSVP thing as well. Any suggestions would be welcome. Being an emigrant without old school mates etc. doesn't help much and working in a male environment does allow for a lot of options.

I am glad to hear that women still prefer a gentleman. Social rules have changed in recent years which can be a bit confusing. I was brought up and still believe in opening doors etc. and I am glad to hear women still appreciate it.

Ok, the perfect date? Being able to have a conversation in order to get to know each other, I feel is important. A setting with subtle romance in the air, a nice bottle of wine and a starry sky. This though, I'll reserve for the second or third date and not the first. To put one's emotions on the line with the first date, unless you already know the person well, is too full on.

Maybe I spent too much time growing up around my grandparents but I have to admit I do prefer a gentleman compared to the guys coming up through the dating ranks around me. I think if i was to go on a date with most of the men i am friends with, I would walk out about 15 min into the date. I think Im just too traditional when it comes to dating (although will gladly put up a fight to pay for my share)

Apparently many of us love the idea of a nice, quiet, starry night and conversation:D Is it an age/generational thing?? Or is it that we just know from experience that the clubbing meat market etc is not the place to find that someone special these days, especially as parents.:confused:
