Looking back, even though I was plagued with more bad than good online dating experiences I did have some really great and memorable dates. These helped me move forward in the hopes that I'd have many more good experiences. Even if a date didn't turn into anything more than friendship for whatever the reason, getting out and having great conversations with interesting people is fun. So how does one define a great date? If you ask me, all of the following would qualify:
1. Driving for 7 hours in a bad snow storm or going a long road trip and never once feeling the need to turn the radio on.
2. Laughing so hard your face and abs hurt! Tears of laughter also qualify!
3. Sitting together in silence for hours without feeling nervous, anxious or awkward or worrying about what the other person is thinking.
4. Having wait staff at a restaurant refuse to bring your bill and beg you not to leave.
5. While in the middle of date #1, firming up details for dates #2 and #3.
6. Cooking together in harmony without having to say a word or stepping on each other's toes.
7. Not wanting the date to end and finding excuses or ways of extending your time together.
8. Finding yourself in an embarrassing situation, but feeling comfortable enough to ask your date for help. Then later looking back and laughing your asses off!
9. Talking for hours and it feeling like it was only for a few minutes.
10. Surviving a trip to the grocery store or any shopping trip for that matter!
11. When the date ends, you're left wanting more.
12. Getting home from your date, calling him to let him know you made it home ok and talking until the following morning. Then meeting for breakfast!
I'm sure there are many more examples, but these stand out the most for me based on my experiences. This post is going to be short and sweet so I can leave you wanting more! Lol
Thanks for reading and have a great night!
