Best date you've ever been on?

[Deoni]

Inspired by Fozzie's thread..

I've recently started OD and could do with some heartwarming inspiration

My ex. We were best friends, got together, had already had sex and stuff, but our first date was a few weeks in. We got a bus for 2 hours to alnwick to visit barter books. Got off early as the weather was lovely, walked in the countryside. Got to Barter books, mooched about, had a glass of wine and a bite to eat. then bus home. We had ice cream when we got back, big sundaes in a lovely ice cream place.
We are still best mates. I wish i could go back to that day though. It was so perfect.

My first ever online date was actually pretty awesome... We met in a pub by the sea for a mid afternoon drink, drank pints, chatted nonstop, after 2 hours both admitted we were desperate for a cigarette so sat out on the harbour watching the boats and smoking... I had to leave as I was meeting friends for dinner but he told me where he was going to be later on just in case I wanted to meet him. I had dinner, shared a taxi home with a friend then, literally on the spur of the moment turned the taxi round and went to meet him. He was really happy to see me, introduced me to his friends, had a very fun night drinking and chatting til 2am with all sorts of people on a gorgeous hot summer night... Then he walked me home and kissed me. Ended up together for 5 months... It wasn't to be but it was the perfect way to get over exH!

I think perhaps it wasn't even him, just the fact that there I was, after years trapped in a rubbish marriage, out on my own having fun with new people and feeling like I was 25 again oh and he was pretty hot!

A lovely, lovely first date... arriving at his house, tea and cake, stroll through town, music, food; cold night and he gave me his scarf to wear , back to his....

I'm sitting on the exact spot where we first kissed now...

he made a lovely breakfast...
