An ideal date...

I asked the fine young man I am seeing tonight to give me the suggestion for a blog topic. He said, "How about the best date you have ever had?" Now that is a great idea. Unfortunately, my memory is not what it used to be, so I decided to writte about what is the ideal date for me -- which I have been lucky enough to share with him too.

For me, dinner & a movie has always been the best first, second, and for that matter, any date. I like the dinner & a movie date for a lot of reasons, but most of all, it allows you that necessary social time to interact and some time to rest and stare at your guy, and then something to talk about afterward on the way home.

The dinner & a movie dates I have had included a wide variety of features, including Lethal Weapon 4, Jerry Springer: Ringmaster, and most recently In & Out. I would like to say the choice of movie is not a sign of where the relationship is headed, but the first never made it past a first date, the second a year of turmoil and horrors, but the third, so far, is turning into a happy, positive, fun journey into a bright future with endless possibilities.

Who knew the choice of a first date movie could be so foretelling...
