Ok I wasn't going to blog until next week, because I've been dealing with a migraine, writers block and all this other stuff but I changed my mind and I'm back.
What's A Date To You?
For me there is really only one thing that makes a date A DATE to me lol. And that is.....the guy picks me up from my house. Ok now before you get all crazy on me, If your a guy that has taken me out, please don't think that because you didn't pick me up from home that it wasn't a date. I'm simply trying to express that I've never been picked up for a date. I know that we live in different and dangerous days than we did back in the 50's and 60's. Back then, you could meet a stranger and give him your address and didn't fear for your life, that he'd stalk you, rape you, or even murder you at your OWN house. But sadly today, this is one of those things we have to worry about today and you know WHAT?? That freaken sucks big time to me. Because that means I will never have what I consider to be a real date. I want to know what its like for the guy to knock on your front door with flowers and ask you if your ready to go. he walks you to the car and opens the door for you. You arrive at your destination and he gets out and run to open the car door to let you out (by the way that part of chivalry went out the door decades ago lol).....lets fast forward....you arrive back home and he walks you up to your door and you have that awkward moment of does he deserve a kiss on the lip, the cheek or worse.... the hug or hand shake. It makes me sad to think I'll never have a real date anymore. Every date I've been on, I ended up driving and meeting my date at the location we agreed on. That's ok, but for once it would be nice to experience that old school chivalry. What's A Date to You? Leave your comments below.
This is a great question! I don't think a date necessarily involves having someone show up at your door. For one, depending on how the date went you may not want that person to know where you live (lol). But I believe a man, on a planned date, should/could bring flowers or some small gesture to your meeting location. For a woman it gives a slight hint as to how considerate and attentive he is, but of course that doesn't mean he isn't if he doesn't bring something. However, chivalry is important because if he doesn't show it during the date, and if it's something that means a lot to you, He's most likely not going to show it during marriage. On the other hand he could be waiting to get permission from you to be chivalrous, because some of Today's women have used feminism and scared some of these men from being protective and caring in that way. I feel so long-winded (lol).
