When I was younger, I loved going out to eat and playing mini-golf on a first date, because it enabled us to TALK to each other. You really can't get to know your date while in a movie theater and hoping he'll hold your hand; that's for date #2.
In my 20's, dating consisted of either a party; going to a bar/nightclub; dinner. And since I married while in my 20's, 'date night' with the hubby meant dinner alone and a movie, or a drive.
Now my idea of a perfect date is still dinner and wine, and conversation that does not include the word 'Mommy' or mention of any kids (unless I bring it up first, heh heh!). Take my to BW3 and see if I can beat you at trivia. Or let's go sing karaoke.
Special dates I hold dear? There are many:
Jan 1: New Year's Day and SIL's b-day
Jan 29th: Special ex-b/f's birthday. Suffice it to say I met him while in college, and he's in my Top 3.

Dates to Remember. ahh. What a nice post.
Date number two with my now-hubby is by far my most memorial. We call it "The Duck Date." After taking me out to eat at a restaunt (that was demolished in Joplin Tornado--waah), he drove me to a duck refuge where he liked to hunt.
We sat on the tailgate of his truck, in the dark, just the two of us, as he told me what each duck quacking around us was called. I loved that duck date. Good times.
How SWEET!
One of my early dates with the hubby, we discovered ourselves talking about weddings and baby names. Turned out to be prophetic!
