(You may use my alias) Well, first of all, I don't really date. I have guy friends, but have been single for over 3 years. This time has brought me closer to the Lord, and has been amazing (though still hard at times!). I believe God will bring the right man to me when the time is right and I don't want to compromise my purity in any way (even kissing, or dating around-please don't hate me for that!). Right now I'm just focusing on God and believe everything else will fall into place. I think the date would have to depend on the couple's shared intersets (or maybe, if the man was planning the date, he may try a new interest that his date is interested in...like mini golf, for example). I think it's really sweet when a man cooks dinner and makes a fancy table for two all on his own (which has never happened to me, but I would love it if it did), maybe after they have gotten to know each other alot more (I'm also one who now believes in the whole 'never be alone with someone of the opposite sex' thing, which has helped save me from getting into trouble, like I did in the past). I think the best date would be to find out your date's interests, then think up something from there to 'customise' it to that person. Just have fun with it! God Bless =O)!

I plan to meet my date at Niagria Falls for a romantic getaway. This would be a nice but not too expensive little trip.
Female - Age Range: 31-40
I think my favorite date would be cooking dinner together. I mean think about it--you spend time together, the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, you can visit and get to know one another, you're learning about that other person's talents and likes/dislikes, you're cooperating so you find out if that person is a helpmate (like doing the dishes, setting the table, etc). You can play your favorite music in the background, too. You can make the date as casual (like grilling steaks) or as fancy (like leg of lamb) as you like. It gives you a good amount of time to see someone in their personal surroundings, too. And you don't have to actually cook. You can order in dinner and watch a movie. And through the entire process you're actually able to carry on a conversation. Many restaurants are noisy and crowded and it's hard to carry on any sort of personal conversation. Eating is something that we all have to take time to do, while not everyone enjoys all the same evening entertainment. And this date is perfect for a double date. You may not be completely comfortable inviting a new acquaintance into your home, but you can invite your best friend and someone they're dating to come along. That way, your best friend can give you an honest opinion on what kind of person your date is. (Too often we wait until we're fairly involved with someone to introduce them to our closest friends and family. By then, we don't want to hear anything negative about them.)
I think a quiet relaxing evening at home getting to know someone is a great date. And it costs only as much as you want to put into it.

My creative date is very inexpensive, but it could take up your whole day. Summertime is the best time of year but I'd never put a limit on it. All it would cost you is a picnic lunch, a bit of gas, and java for dessert. All you need to bring is your camera, binoculars, hiking boots, matches(just in case we need a fire), the picnic lunch, and possibly a blanket(tablecloth for the picnic lunch). We would take a drive into the mountians and hike up to a raging waterfall. We would explore the area(the wilder and more ragged the better),spy on the wildlife, take some pictures, and play in the falls,very wisely and carefully of course, but should we get a little too wet...well...that's what we brought the matches for and what better than a raging fire to go along with our raging waterfall? We'd hike up to a nice quiet spot overlooking the valley, spread out our blanket and picnic lunch and enjoy home-made vittles and just talk, watching the sun set on the mountians. As the sun disappears behind the ridge, we slowly make our way back to our vehicle, head for our favorite all-night coffee shop and top it all off with a great capaccino and more great conversation, to any ridiculous hour we choose.

Someone actually sent me this perfect date and I had to agree it was PERFECT. Here's what he wrote:
.
A small cafe in Florence in June at 4:00 pm. The weather is perfect and the waiter knows who I am by my first name. I order cappuccino for two as we get introduced. After an hour of conversation, we switch to the local Chianti that happens to be wonderful. The vintner that makes it is there and tells us the story of how his family has been making it for 120 years. He invites us to his farm to meet his family later in the evening. After our café drinks, we take a long walk through town to see the sights and shop. A long dinner at an incredible family restaurant with great food ... finished with a walk through a cool Tuscan evening! We find the farmers home and stop to chat with his family and friends. We are invited to spend time seeing Tuscany with our new friends. It’s a perfect evening with more to come.

You may use my alias. I would send a written invitation for a trip to (fill in the blank.....a place where I knew he would like to go), sayyyyyy Rome. He would be instructed to bring a packed suitcase small enough for carry on on a flight, and to come to my house for travel to Rome. (RSVP required, but I would not tell him anything more.) When he arrived with his suitcase, I would have a limo, and a blindfold, and we would go for a short ride (supposedly to the airport), ending back at my place. (In the limo, we study basic Italian vocabulary.) Now in the interim, I will have had a friend set a few things up: (1) Hang a sign by the front porch saying Welcome to Rome (in Italian, of course), and (2) Italian opera on the CD player. The limo arrives, the blindfold comes off, and we are in Rome. Inside my house are posters of St. Peter's, The Colleseum, etc. A lasagna that I prepared in advance is in the oven, so the place smells like Italian food, there is a white tablecloth and candles on the table, which is already set. The menu includes appetizers (maybe melon balls and proscuitto?), the lasagna, a side dish or salad (I would have to know the guy and his likes/dislikes to know exactly what), and desert (preferably tira misu or creme brulee. Mmmmmmmmm!!! Before dinner, we go through his suitcase (customs!! lol) to see what he would bring in such a small space. This could tell you alot! Did he bring his Bible? or condoms? See what I mean? You would learn alot! After dinner, we would watch either a travel video of the sights of Rome, or a great old movie set in Rome. By the end of the evening, we should both be fluent enough to say 'Goodnight my everlasting love' in Italian. (Even if we are just friends and say it while rolling our eyes and giggling!)
Costs would be for the limo (about 30 minutes), the posters for decorations, the food ingredients, the perfect CD of Italian music, and the video. (The posters and the video could almost certainly be borrowed from a travel agent, so then that would be free. If you have a friend who happens to have a black Lincoln or Cadillac or something like that, you might even be able to get out of the limo cost!) All in all, an inexpensive evening, and alot of fun.

Since I live in a very very small community , and deep into the country , you need to be imaginative at times to have a really good date.
We would meet in town at the coffee shop and introductions and maybe a little chat, then go do a little horseback riding to the lake,where we could fish and kick back for some fried chicken and fixins and chat, maybe do a little target shooting, then head back to the house , and dress for dinner. a really nice elegant , candlelight dinner under Texas skies.Very simple & very relaxed. Cost. under $50.00
results, priceless.

NO FORMALISMS, I like to see our mistaken customs and easy free habits without fear. Of course, we ought to be formal, respectful and courteous at all times. Elen G. White said that all moments of our lives are very solemn! And I mean what a poet said: 'I love you when you drop the spoon,...'
For the first few dates try not to spend much money. I am very giving but I have learn very well from experience not to look like that. The less pomp and display you use, the better opportunities you'll have to really know each other. It's a fact. Main key is communication, relationship, friendship, etc.
Simple beautiful places like religious museums or a bookstore cafe, or simply with families, friends and nature. Depending on country and circumstances. Never go to the movie to entertain me and my friend with scenes full of blood, adultery, steals, drugs and death. In greater or lesser sense we always partake of what we see and men give us to contemplate. 'The light of the body is the eye'. Instead I would continue cultivating by sharing with her all our sound hobbies.
I love sea sunsets and hope one day many dreams will come true by the sea shore away from the people, close to the sleeping light of eternity...
I think of how godly people dated in Bible times. We can imagine Mary and Joseph...!, What a dating by a manger...!!! Also, they kept pure before marriage. Will Jesus bless our wedding as He blessed the one at Cana in Galilee? He saved the best grape juice (called wine in their language) for last (John 2:1-11). So we ought to save many ''afections'' for after the marriage public confirmation in order to be really blessed. Please, sister, don't argue with many beautiful pretexts to keep your very ''huggy-touchy lusty point'', I love you...!
May the Spirit give us wisdom.

I would like hiking, camping with friends, something outdoor, would have worship together, cost...does not nessasarily have to cost anything...if a person have a certain minimum that is has to cost for a date...then I would somebody else...then I would know that this person would not be the right person for me.
There is lots of things you can do together which doesnt nessesarily have to cost anything or at least very little.
The most important is that you also get to talk about more serious things...that you just share your thoughts...
And that you respect a person who says NO to go any further...
