'special sweetie' sounds like something I'd put in my mouth

"corn maze challenge"

Like the end of The Shining, you know.

If someone hands you a pair of binoculars and says "Let's observe wild creatures going about their business" you might reply "No thanks. I'm not looking into our neighbor's window again."

jokes

for romance, what can really beat 'Paintball and lasertag'?

That's for the 2nd date, maybe 3rd.

these are frankly all horrible ideas SORRY

Renaissance Faires

Here's a date that takes you back in time, to a festival at an English village in the 1500s. You will be surrounded by jousting, sword fighting, Old English fare and strolling minstrels. Welcome to the world of the Renaissance Faire.

FAMILIAR EXPRESSIONS, NOW AND THEN

Hello, nice to see you! — Hail and well met!
What time is it? — How stands the hour?
Where are the restrooms? — Whither be the privies?
What is your name? — What be thy tide?
Please wait on me! — Prithee, attend me!
I'm thirsty — I be parched.
Goodbye, I gotta go! — Fare thee well; I must away!

Also useful when dating Ned Raggett!

btw did abbott just misspell a word O_O

I fucking love corn mazes, I went to one, once, and got lost in it! Okay it was more like I was trying to get lost but it was full of kids yelling and signs pointing the way, so you couldn't do too badly.

Look, I've been to renaissance fair(e)s and in my experience don't take anyone there that you want to romant you, there are varying qualities of bosoms pretty much as far as the eye can see and it won't end well.

Heaving bosoms. Don't do it.

last time i was in a corn maze i was on mushrooms and... it was a mistake.

Get off at random subway station, explore new area of the city you've never seen! Find somewhere neat for dinner, drinks, dancing.. I don't do this often enough, truly. I've lived with A for two years so our date nights are playing Trivial Pursuit or Wii Bowling.

don't take anyone there that you want to romant you

XD

GRAVEYARD ETIQUETTE

This date was not intended as a suggestion for kinky sex, although some of you with Gothic leanings might be feeling a little fired up at the notion. If we were buried in some old cemetery we would be happy for you to do the nasty on our gravesites, but relatives who are visiting these places tend to have lost their sense of humor along with the dearly departed. So don't be leaving any used condoms lying about and for heaven's sake, don't be screaming, "Oh God, Oh God" unless you see an actual ghost.

Make Your Own Martinis? How is this any different from, say, "Tuesday night"?

^ on green like tomatoes

"Love at the Zoo

Grizzly Bears, snowy owls, orangutans, leopards, exotic snakes, koalas... How do you find a more interesting place to take a date?

Most zoos have special classes, events and activities that attract a wide range of visitors. Some have special displays, behind-thescenes tours, delightful holiday events and after-hours parties. The seminars and lectures can be both fascinating and educational, and perhaps they'll help you learn more about the animal in you. "

or you could just go and watch the monkeys do it

Heaving bosoms. Don't do it.

Along the same lines, taking a date to an airport bookstore might be ill-advised.

ok hoos fess up how long have you been saving that one

"Your Balls or Mine? Playing Golf"
Surely not always appropriate.

"New balls please: Playing Tennis"

I like how Abbott coined the term "hoosband" in a thread the other day...

"Eating in or Eating Out?"

I went on a date once and we ended up at a prominent gay cabaret where she was called onstage and did a series of torch songs. Neither of us calle the other back.

Talk about an unusual date — why not attend one of the many powwows held across the country?

Wait, I know the answer to this one.

I all the time am misspelling words. THIS IS KNOWN. To me.

abbz dont lie u r a total grammaqueen!

WIELD i before e COME ON

Why? You are crazy, etc...that sounds awesome

Outside of the fact that we both thought meeting for a first date at a cabaret we had zero in common. >shrug<

"at a cabaret WAS A GOOD IDEA,"

oh, ok...haha.........

FUNERAL PICK'R'UPPER

Let's say a good friend of yours didn't make the last turn on the way back to town and you've suddenly got a funeral to attend. There's no reason why you and the remaining living can't get together with a bunch of balloons and write messages to the dearly departed. At least you'll be adding some color to an otherwise dark day.

^ No one has ever ever done this except in a Wes Anderson movie.

otm!

I think tombstone tracing sounds kinda fun!

"Hey baby, let's go to the cemetery!" is probably better than most of the lame ideas I could come up with.

I actually like walking around really old cemeteries! I had to spend a lot of time doing that for a class project once and it was fascinating. Only because of that, on a date I would want to find the oldest graves and look at the inscriptions and pictures and such, not lie down and make out on a grave. At least not until I'd found the oldest grave.
