Thread: your best date ever

Reading through some of the worst date stories (Russ ....OMG, poor you!.. funny though) I was just wondering what some here have had for best dates. I'll post mine later today(kids calling atm).

Sorry long in coming.. After our initial setup date I had an invitation to a wedding from a friend from church. It was far more lavish than I had been use to but they had a full dance floor there and a wonderful banquet. After the parties contra dancing was the slow dancing. I'm not a fast guy so I was a bit taken a back by her closeness but didn't mind. Shortly after the reception we took a walk alone on the beach. Mark, this is the first time I had ever been alone with a woman in a relational/romantic sense. the lake was glistening in the moonlight on the most beautiful June night I can ever remember. We walked for about a mile on the brick walk along the lake (Lake Geneva) and came upon a shoreline gazebo. No music no, crowds, no noise, just a mist over the water with the moon dancing on the ripples and us dancing in the gazebo. I had often wondered how I was going to ask for someones hand in marriage , but then I knew. That was exactly how I wanted to, and 4 months later I did in still a way she didn't expect. To those who think to themselves as hopeless romantics... your only hopeless if you don't open up and try.

P.S. Someone I know once said, "the greater the ability to love, the greater the ability to hurt." I can not tell you in words how very true this is, but I can say to persevere through the greatest of sorrows builds strength that con only come on the other side, and you'll be better for it. Had I not gone through a living hell experience for the 3 1/2 years prior to meeting my now wife, I would never be able to communicate on the same level as her and quite possibly never know a life together with my soul mate.
