Next time I challenge you to take the camera with you to the restaraunt and ask a person/your server to take a picture of the both of you together. It will be nice to have a picture to remember those fun times. By the way, great job on all that gym time!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33192339.post-9275409450104421552007-03-16T17:09:00.000-04:002007-03-16T17:09:00.000-04:00You know, in my mind what qualifies as a date coul...You know, in my mind what qualifies as a date could be anything that involves two people spending time together. I love movies, alone, with someone specific, with friends, but I'm not inclined towards movies as dating activity. It certainly counts, especially if both people are agreeable, but I prefer dates where I'm doing something, like miniature golf, going for a walk, even shopping (and yes, I like to). But mostly I just want an activity that allows my date and me to talk, which can be any of those events, or dinner (which could be followed by a movie if you want to be cliche), or an aimless drive around town. Mostly, I just like to have a good, interesting conversation. Can you do all of these things anyway, without it being a date? Of course. But if money's tight (and when is it not?), these things can be fun and they don't have to be expensive if you don't want them to be. What about playing croquet in the yard (assuming you have no more snow, have a croquet set, and the weather's decent)? To me, anything that gets the two of you alone together, doing something you both enjoy, should qualify as a date. <BR/><BR/>On a slightly more personal note, sometimes I think you just have to spend the money, even if you shouldn't, for a meal alone with your date. As long as you're talking about intellectually stimulating topics while you eat, you're on the right track. My opinion, of course untested because I'm delightfully single, is that it's better to spend a little money you don't have or shouldn't afford if it's helping to keep your relationship maintained, interesting, and happy. Having carefully monitored debt and a divorce isn't something I would seek out or brag about. I think it's really important to try to get out of debt, but not at the risk of everything else. If you'd like to go out to eat every week, but don't want to spend that much money, why not do that once or twice a month? And as for going out to eat, it could be at (EWW) McDonald's if you want it to be. Kim and Jeannie Burnham used to have lunch dates at Carl's Junior and Burger King. There'se nothing wrong with that. In fact, it could be kind of fun to get "all gussied up" and go to Carl's. Can you imagine the people staring...? But then, that doesn't bother me. <BR/><BR/>Here's to lots of happy dates!<BR/>KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
