What was your best date ever? Describe it in detail. Maybe some of us can get some great ideas from your experience.

Probably the best date ever was when I took my ex-girlfriend to Austin to see the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show for her birthday. Both of us were huge Rocky Horror fans but had not been to the midnight showing before. I bought the tickets online without telling her. Told her I was going to take her to Austin for dinner, we went to Magnolia Cafe in Austin (not near as good as Kerbey Lane, though) and asked her if she wanted to see a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse, so we drove over to the theater and of course she saw they were showing Rocky Horror Picture Show and commented on it, I then proceeded to tell her that I just happened to have tickets. We both had a blast, probably the best date because it was probably the most creative thing I have ever done and even more so one of the most random as I had just bought tickets the day before the showing. We both had a great time. I would love to go again, just need someone to go with.

Some of my best dates weren't really planned so I am not sure if these would be good ideas for this thread but here goes...

Going at night down to the beach to lay out on our backs and watch a meteor shower.

Leave in the morning to go for a hike and completely change your mind a few hours into. Decide to go to a little mountain town just over an hour away for Apple Pie. End up needing to out maneuver some forest fires. We finally get to the town around 7pm and everything is closed. That is how little of a town it was. Great day, though.

Once on a blind date, I picked the guy up at the airport with no idea of a real plan. We ended up going to a cute marina town for sushi. Afterwards, we walked around the marina. It turned out that that particular night was their boat parade, so we watched from a bridge all the boats decked in their Christmas glory. That turned out pretty cool.

I had an eharmony first date with a guy and we decided to meet at a little coffee/breakfast place in the morning and then go for a hike. That was a fun date. The hike was nice because the activity leads to conversation and also, there is just something relaxing about shooting the breeze while you are out walking or hiking. When we got to the peak and were hanging out, a swarm of bees came around. It was kind of funny seeing my date react along with the other people. I kind of knew then that maybe we weren't meant to be but I enjoyed the day enough that we did go out a few more times after that.

I am kind of thinking my best date will be the next one.

Last night was pretty good. Simple dinner in she cooked. Went for a walk in the neighborhood, she made a decision to turn right instead of left as we usually do, I made a spur of the moment decision to go left at the corner, she was going to go right. Then back to watch a DVD. Inexpensive, simple, no big planning but a fun time none the less.

Isn't it really about the people and not the activity?

In my experience, it's not always what you do on your date, but how you interact. When you find that amazing chemistry with someone, anything can be fun. On a side note, I find a good winery makes for a good date.

A GREAT date is meeting to play billiards. I'm terrible at it, but willing to try. If the guy knows how to play at all he can give me tips, coming up next to me to show me how to hold the stick, where to aim, etc.

There's all sorts of playful innuendo you can come up with while hitting the balls. You get to talk, and laugh, and get to know each other all at the same time... with built in opportunities to touch and flirt. What could be better?

Yes, a game of pool is an excellent date.
