Let's get one thing straight:
I love going on dates.
Seriously! Though I've only ever been on proper dates with my marvelous boyfriend, I love them. El-oh-vee-ee them! It has come to my attention though that I am apparently confused as to what a "proper" date is.
As I was perusing Yahoo.com, I came across this little article.
"Don't Take A Woman Here!"
Within that article was a list of places that men shouldn't take women on dates. On this list was sport themed places, theme parks, chain restaurants, paintball, and more. Am I missing something?
Did I miss the memo that females are supposed to get once they hit their dating years that tells them that going out and doing fun things with the guy they like is what counts as a "total dating disaster"?
This is truly something that REALLY gets on my nerves. I hate that so many people think that dates have to be pricey and super out-there in order to be any fun. I mean, come on!
Paintball with a boyfriend? Epic idea.
McDonald's for dinner? Totally ok with me.
Day spent at the soccer fields? Heck yeah!
Theme park? WHAT GIRL IN HER RIGHT MIND WOULD TURN DOWN A DATE AT A THEME PARK?!
Maybe I'm just very easily pleased, but I believe dates should be about spending quality one-on-one time with the one you love, not trying to impress anyone. Sure, there's nothing wrong with a little spoiling every great once in awhile, but I have to say, my top 3 favorite dates with Ryan(not including our first) would have to be these:
1. Going fishing together.
2. Going hiking at Long C Trails.
3. Playing Scrabble at the park, and then star gazing.
Call me simple, but those were some amazing times together.
