    ...one that doesn't start as a date.

    My ideal date is: a hangout session with a friend - that ends up being amazing and romantic.

    For example, you meet a friend for lunch, then lunch turns into a walk afterward. Then, the walk leads to ice cream and canoeing.

    Canoeing leads to dinner. So you head somewhere for a bite to eat together. Dinner finishes right as movies are about to start next door. You decide to run to the cinema and catch a new release; and you enter the theater just as it starts.
    The movie ends; and when you leave the theater, you see the bars are full. You go for a quick dance; and you smootch on the dancefloor.

    I like something fun and different.

    For example, on what I consider to be our first date (even though we were just "friends" then) AJ and I went to the Central Park Zoo, found out mutual love of penguins, then walked through the park and hung out for a few hours before getting coffee at this cool little shop.

    I liked it because we were out doing something (and come on, who doesn't love penguins?) and it wasn't just having dinner or something like that! It was kind of perfect.

    Just being together, mainly, but we seem to have the most fun when we just wander aimlessly, with no set plans, and find an unusual place for dinner or lunch. It's very relaxing.

    Food, alcohol, pool and/or dancing. Although my daughter doesn't want to hear about the dancing, ha, ha!

    I like a nice restaurant for food I don't cook at home, a couple of beers and a few games of pool. If the place has a band, so much the better.

    I like to do other things but this is my favorite evening date.

    One of my most perfect dates would be something that shows skills while encouraging a little bit of competition (thus insane flirting!).

    Horseback riding, archery, range shooting or racing wave runners during the day, to then go for beers and food at sunset.

    Then another favorite, is the total glam one, where I get to put on a sexy dress, go dine at a fancy restaurant, and then off for drinks at a lounge or cocktail party.

    Ideally, both of them would cap the night at a crystal walled penthouse overlooking the ocean ;)

    I like to go some place that is specific to one of us. Doesn't matter where. Say a guy is really excited by good architecture--it's cool to be taken to a neighborhood you haven't been to before that he personally thinks has the best architecture in the city. Or for instance, I really love things that are industrial and find them fascinating--factories, bridges being built, etc. So if a guy knows this and says, "Hey, I found something that made me think of you and I think you'd like it" and takes me to go see some broken down factory or something, that is very good.

    I like a date that either says, "I would like you to get to know me better" or a date that says, "I enjoy getting to know you better." Those kinds of dates are good.

    i laughed and felt stupid because I actually had to think about it for a second.


    My perfect date is something out of the blue, totally spontaneous. Totally awkward with tons of laughing at ourselves.

    The ballet. Any man who will take me to the ballet will discover that I am the world's most incredible woman (or maybe just see my narcissism?)

    I agree! The best dates are always the spontaneous kind.
