This weekend was an especially fun one for Luke and I. On both Friday afternoon and Saturday evening, we went out for drinks and food as a couple. It is rare that we have this time to ourselves without feeling the demands of parenthood or work. Saturday night we had gift certificates to a very nice restaurant and were able to soak up delicious food and lovely decor, all while Quinn was at a baseball game with his grandparents. Attending to our relationship has been a challenge since we became happy parents. But, since this weekend was so sweet and fun, it reminded me of our early dating days. 'Course, seeing all the prom attendees in their dresses and tuxes in the Uptown area also conjured memories of coupling and singlehood back in the day.
I'd like to begin each day with a question or thought from now on that all of you can comment on or blog about. Today, I want you to think about crushes and romance. To get the topic started, I thought I'd tell you my best "asking out" story. It was in college and he was probably two years older than me. He must have been the editor of something I was on the staff of... I can't recall. Anywho, I wrote up a short script that had a girl (me) asking out a boy (him) and he said yes and they agreed on a fun date- in the story. Then, at the bottom of the script I wrote that if he was interested in auditioning for the role of the boy in the script, that that would be great. Pretty funny, huh?
So, with many people blogging about their loved ones, dates and the like, I'd like to hear from each of you what your ideal date would be. What would be the coolest way to be pursued or asked out? What puts you off and what intrigues you?
Remember, your JOB is to read one another's blogs on a regular basis. Otherwise, why "follow" their work, right?

I think my ideal date would just be chilaxin at home..idk im not the one to really think about stuff like that. never been into romantic stuff makes me laugh at the boy when they try. .I don't this isn't a great subject for me..most of you have seen my past love interests! hah! but my current one is the sweetest of the bunch
Well, I suppose my ideal date is going to a movie and then dinner afterwards. No kissing though because that just leads to things you don't want sometimes!!! A cool way, I guess, would be to write a note or with a little gift. I'm old school that way and I'm not as shy then. Plus, I like it to be a little romantic :). What puts me off is when someone is extremely open about it and they know that you're not really interested and kind of grossed out but they keep pushing it. On top of it, they sound desperate and they're beginning to become really annoying! For example, this one guy at my old school kept asking me if I could call him and if I had time, we could hang out etc etc. He was very persistant and it made me feel very uncomfortable. The thing that intrigues me is when the guy doesn't seem all that into me but shows that he is in some way and also shows that he does want to see me again. It also intrigues when when they aren't fake. They aren't paying attention to anyone else except me and they are interested in what I have to say.
I like what you're saying Becky about wanting the time with someone to be comfortable and interesting. The setting is less important than the connection you feel with the person--- and how authentic and mutual that feeling is.
