I've got a date.
I know some of you will be jealous, and many will be more than a little surprised, but I've managed to attract a member of the opposite sex that isn't horribly disfigured and actually seems quite normal. We haven't decided what to do yet, so what would be your ideal first date? Or how did you and your current other half woo each other?
(I helped save b3ta! Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Wed 19 May 2010, 9:07, 180 replies, latest was 16 years ago)
we spent 4 years as friends, sat in lectures together
helped each other with coursework etc. all the while seeing other people.

In final year we went to Barcelona, got really drunk (and I mean really drunk) on a field trip, realised that it'd suck if we lost touch after uni. Then I had to split up with my ex.

Worked out ok though :-)

Congratulations!
We never had a first date. It started slowly after years of knowing each other. We don't even have anniversary, as we don't know when we moved from friends to something else.

A nice trip to Wewelsburg
www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/destinations/germany/article1887284.ece

Reading that article, the town also has a 'Tractor Museum' too. This place just gets more and more attractive.

Mine can do all your cooking and furniture happily, but doesn't clean anything until I tell him to do it.

Mine cooks and cleans
he's my 50s wife.

I also clean, but every few days he decides its time to clean, regardless of whether or not I've done it the day before and that means in his eyes I never clean.
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 19 May 2010, 9:24, Reply)
I see
Well, mine cleans very well when I ask him to do it, but I have to ask him. And he's always too busy.

Now, he's very good at fixing things in the house, from changing floors to filling wholes in the wall that I've made unintentionally.

that's because you're a misery guts.
And it was Blackburn, the choice was Pizza Hut or Burger King and Pizza Hut was right next door to Blockbuster. Actually, so was Burger King. My point is, there aren't any nice restaurants. And the company more than made up for the food.

There is one day that is earmarked as the happiest day of my life
But it's soppy and full of the shit that 16 year olds get up to.
I wooed him in quite a bad way. He was heartbroken, I told him how I felt so he'd realise that he'd be loved again, he took advantage of this and used me.
In a lovely way.

We've never really split up, either :/

I get the impression that you're an outdoors sort of a bloke.
If she's similarly inclined then a short walk (one with some points of interest that can help the conversation if it happens to flag) Followed by an unpretentious lunch. That way you have two different environments (rather than staking everything on her liking a particular restaurant or club or whatever) and don't have to do the potentially awkward first bit in front of an audience.

Good luck with it.

No date as such.
Catface wooed me by offering a bed at his parents' house when I was too bashdrunk to get a train home and my shoe had broken. I suppose a 'proper' date was three days later when we booked a hotel room, drank Dr Pepper and vodka, ate Party Rings and got to know each other even better.

I once took someone to give blood for our first date.

Not entirely.
There are aspects of Roman religion that are entirely Roman (or Italian, if you're being pedantic) in origin.

Yes, but the basis are Greek
And so, most of the constellations can be tracked back to Greek mithology, which is fantastic.

Those Gods did know how to rule the world, eh?

Again whilst we're (I'm) being pedantic
I think Arab astronomers got there first.

Which Ptolemy greatly appreciated and built on.

(I helped save b3ta! Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 19 May 2010, 9:59, Reply)
I don't think so
Arabs might have named the constellations first, and the Greeks based his naming on that. The whole thing about adding mithology on the names and the beautiful stories where Greek.

My apologies.
I had not realised you had conflated Mythology and Astronomy.

It's ok, I forgive you.

What did I write wrong?
I'd like to know, so I don't do it again. Althoug I've been told thousands of times how to write phylosopy or philosophy or phylosophi or... I never know.

Oh well, since you ask -
Yes, but the basis are is Greek:subject/verb agreement.
Where Greek - were Greek.
That's what I was saying from the start (I see my spelling mistake now as well): full stop required before first bracket, and also before the closing bracket. Or alternately one full stop after the closing bracket.
Not intended to be an inclusive list.

We had just had a ferocious game of squash before going to the Planitarium.
And it was very relaxing - the seats reclined, Pink Floyd, the lights dimmed. I should have just shagged her stealthily and left.

I thought so.
It was one of those places you walk past for years and assume it's just for tourists, so never go to. Every city has places the inhabitants overlook.

No - but that deaf chappy does a very good show too.

to be honest I think I would find the planetarium interesting
I just don't think it's first date material.

And it's such a stereotypical geeky first date.

It was brilliant.

That was a keeper. Been together 26 years and she STILL doesn't know why she responded.
I do.

First date? Pub lunch and a chat.

I met my missus in a bar, she was chatting to a mate
I was bored and dicking about on my phone, when she came over and chastised me for being anti-social. We got chatting, she went home with my mate.

Later on she gets my number, then adds me on FB, and we start chatting. I let her crash at mine after a night out (it's a £30 cab ride home for her) and we spend ages talking (though nothing more). Second time she stayed over involved less talking...

He plied me with booze (a shandy), bundled me into his car on a cold, stormy night
and drove me to his house in the middle of nowhere.

Whereas I played 'Popcorn' on my teeth and dressed as St. Jude.
