As a counterpart to the Outrageous date behavior thread (Outrageous date behavior), please share with us something that a date once did for you which impressed you, or perhaps something impressive you heard about happening on a friend's date.

Went out on a date on my birthday and she excused herself to the bathroom, later on I found out she already paid for the whole meal (expensive too). I tried to haggle with her but the server said "It's ok, it's the mid 90s women can pay too )

(It has been a while )

I've had a couple of great dates.

But then I wake up.

I always expect to go dutch on dates. Product of my generation or something? So I tend to be very impressed/touched by the gesture when a man does pay. It's unexpected generosity, to me.

That's really the only thing that's stood out as "notably impressive" on a date, thus far. Not had any sweeping romantic gestures or anything (not that I'm sure I'd be impressed by that--might be creeped out, instead!)

Of the two times this has happened, the dates turned out wonderful.

Without trying and within the first statement, I had two dates just start laughing hysterically at something I said. There was something about this that just paved the way from word one.

For me it's all about the simple gestures. I love when a guy plans a date that shows he's listened by picking something that he specifically thought I would enjoy based on something I said. I always appreciate that. I could care less about some of the more typical/stereotypical gestures, but anything that feels like it's a nod to getting me and who I am makes me feel special.

The first date with my long-term boyfriend started with him kissing me on the cheek as he greeted me (it was a Match.com meeting) as he handed me a single red rose. He did this with such ease that it wasn't overkill and although I was surprised, it felt just right.

That evening we were talking about a trip to Cancun I had scheduled in 10 days with my young daughter. He looked at me and said, "I miss you already."

Awwwwwwww. I was very impressed!

You were dating a 90 year old?

I remember a date who called me about 10 minutes before our scheduled meet to tell me she was at the restaurant and asked if I wanted her to go ahead and get us a table at that time. I was impressed. The only thing is this was after she had been 20 minutes late for our first meeting..... and who canceled our next date minutes before we were supposed to meet.
