Epic Adventure #2: #Threesomes (are you thinking of something dirty...?!??! O_o)

That's right, a second date/post in one day. What can I say, I'm doing everything I can to procrastinate be relevant. Anyways, the last date cost NO money (except for the cost of a juice box...which again, is something everyone needs to try in the near future, I've been craving them some kind of fierce).

This date is all about NUMBERS. So that is the first series of dates is all about playing numbers. Wait...let me start over.

So I was watching that movie Date Night with Steve Carell and really say. When I think I actually watched that movie and then the other one, Crazy. Stupid. Love. and I got really sad. Why after being in a relationship for so long that you stop being yourself? Or more to the point, why is it so stale? The routine, the time commitments, hell, even family. I get sad thinking that THAT is how everyone ends up. And when you DO go out, all you get is some lamea$$ dinner in some local eatery. Well, I say "Hell's to the No!!!"

So that really is where I started coming up with date ideas. Everyone SHOULD have a date night, but it should be something you look FORWARD to, not another chore. So instead, we should all just call them epic adventures. In another date, I will be explaining how MAPS are a great way to make dates fun. But not this one. Another component that I wanted to explore is making the dates as much a surprise as possible. (who doesn't LOVE a surprise?).

So this is how I would start of the week: I would allow my partner to chose from the following numbers: 2, 3, 4, and 5+. This epic adventure is if they choose 3.

I would call up their best friend (girl, guy, it, dog, cat, whatever/whoever they are) and come up with a plan to do something they absolutely love. This could be watching a sporting event, playing darts/pool, going hiking, or for those who have female partners, maybe even trying a manicure or pedicure (you will get MONDO points if you go along with two females to the salon. Believe. Me.) The main point is that it is an event/activity that your PARTNER loves to do, not you you selfish prick.

Whatever you choose, you do this even with the three of you. Basically going back to the idea that you, at the heart of your relationship, are friends. So unfortunately, no lovey-dovey-ness during the date. In fact, the rule is that you actually cannot have any physically contact.

Now, if you raise your eyebrow at that last rule, let me just remind you that anticipation is one of the greatest turn-ons you can find. Especially if you are normally very affectionate. Just imagine when you actually DO get to touch O_o. (hehe)

So let me reCap:

1. Your partner picks the number 3
2. You call their best friend
3. You make all the appropriate appointments/reservations for the date
4. You surprise your partner alongside with his/her best friend (yes, all three of you are going) with the adventure
5. NO TOUCHING (and you might want to mention this to them, when you are told you CAN'T do something, it makes you WANT to do it all the more)
6. Throw yourself into the event/activity 100%. No half-hearted attempts. This is very important. This is a day for them, not you. So even if the activity is not something you normally want to do (ie: high tea with champagne and crumpets), if you do not have fun, then what's the point?
7. Report back to me how it went ^_~

Epic Adventure #1: Tree Climbing

Now, I firmly believe that "dates" should be more then just dinner, movie, or even miniature golfing (although, those CAN be fun). Especially when you first start seeing someone, the excitement you feel generally (or at least with me) spills over. So instead, I like to call them epic adventures!


So this epic adventure requires a certain amount of athleticism and a lesser fear of heights. You and your partner go out into some public area because if someone offers to take you into the forest for the first time, you should run FAR FAR AWAY and pick out the best climbing tree.

Hopefully you have remembered to wear proper attire, because to be perfectly honest, high heals, dresses, tight jeans (or even baggy ones!) do not make this adventure a success. So, after picking out the tree...guessed it! You start climbing. This is where a camera is definitely a must. Because the best views are taken at the highest points, especially through the leaves.

Oh...and if you brought snacks so when you are hanging out in the leaves, that would make this date rock even better. Personally, I recommend juice boxes, they are forgotten delicacy.

So to reCap:

1. dress comfortably
2. pick a PUBLIC place
3. pick a good climbing tree
4. take loads of pictures
5. Then come back and tell me how it went! 

Dates I Want Someone to Take Me On

Yes. That is right, I have a list.

I can't help it! And since my invisible significant other is of no use to me, I want people to try out these SPECTACULAR ideas and get back to me. Yep, I want someone to try these dates out and report back to me the success, failure, or augmentation of these dates. Some are from inside my head, some are from friends, some are from the interweb, and some are from pop cultures (what can I say, I'm a sucker for a romantic movie ^_~).

So please, read, try, and enjoy!
