What is the most unique or thoughtful date that you have ever been on? What made this date so special in your mind?

I've posted this before, but it was probably my best ever first date. I began corresponding with this man who lived an hour away and we exchanged daily emails and several phone calls a week for maybe a month until our schedules worked out to meet for dinner. That was OK, too because we were having fun sending playful and suggestive getting to know you emails. Before we met, he said he was so excited to meet me and really hoped there'd be 'fireworks.' It was cute, and this didn't faze me in the least.

We met at a cool place in Malibu, chatted comfortably all through dinner at a nice restaurant with an ocean view from our table. He was handsome and nice, and it was really fun and we stayed there for what seemed like a couple of hours. When my date excused himself to the restroom, I flagged down the waiter who was about to bring our shared dessert, and I asked the waiter to add a "sparkler" candle I had brought. When my date returned, the dessert was presented and I gave him a card that said, "wishing you fireworks for years to come."

He was really touched, and it made for a really memorable date. Then we went an made out on the pier.

Guess I will post this here as well. Lori has a similar thread going about fun dates.

Took a date to Sea World in San Diego first, that was a blast. Then we went to the race track and that was even better. She was absolutely hooked, and I had a pit pass so we went through after the races and had a really good time.

Have to say my current boyfriend is the most thoughtful whether its on an official date or not.

Like if we go out to dinner...he always asks where I want to go or suggests some choices he'd like to for me to choose from. Plus we're so comfortable with each other we'll actually offer the other a sample of whatever we order. Even feeding it to the other at times...never done that til meeting him.

He's also taken care of my pets for me when I'm not feeling well...got a cold cloth when I've had a headache, brought over breakfast or lunch for me even if he's not hungry etc.

Always tells me how wonderful or amazing I am each day as well as that he loves me...can't ask for a better guy .

I have 3 (with the same person).

The first sounds real corny, but it was an unplanned, impromptu, "date". We were basically hanging out and were back at her house. She decided to tidy some things up while we were there before we "went out". Well, one thing lead to another (no... not like that) and we basically spent the entire night cleaning her entire house up and down. It was very memorable because we had so much fun laughing, talking, (me teasing her on how meticulous she was about cleaning.... that she even "dusted her eggs" in the fridge). i never thought I'd have so much fun cleaning an ENTIRE HOUSE!

#2 was another impromptu thing where we had dinner at one of our favorite spots. Across the road from the entrance was the waterfront. We stepped over the railing from the path and sat on the rocks looking out across the bay for probably 2-3 hours (it was light when we started, it was pitch dark when we left). We didn't say a word the entire time. We just sat there, watching the ferries, the night lights, listening to the water, the birds, and keeping each other warm with curling up and occasional kisses.

#3 was a planned one. It was her first time being away from her familiy for the Holidays (and XMas is HUUUUUUUUUGE for her ~ she makes a big deal out of it every year). So she was depressed she'd be "alone" for XMas (this was before we were officially "dating"). So I decided to surprise her with a "night of XMas." I basicallytold her, "keep this night free, be ready by 6pm, that's when i'll pick you up. don't ask me anything about it." So first thing i did was take her to Beauty and the Beast on Ice (she had been saying how much she wanted to see it for 2 weeks). Then we hit every well-known XMas Lights neighborhood in the city. Then I planned to take her ice skating at a man-made rink for the holidays (but it closed by the time we got there). Then took her to a Comedy XMas Carolling dinner show in downtown that was hilarious. The smile she had all night was priceless. It was so good to see her enjoy the Holiday Spirit that night. Memorable cuz of that smile, and because I had no idea I had it in me to do something so elaborate for a person and pull it off.

BRE...keep in mind that 'unique' and 'thoughtful' don't necessarily = good. lol. Some of the dating horror stories on other threads would qualify. ; )

Uh-oh. Sounds like Jayjay only gets "unique" dates of the scary kind. Sounds like he's jealous that no one ever put a sparkler in his desert.
