Enough Ideas?

Enough Ideas?

Do we have enough ideas now? For dating?

I would like a few more… so far I’ve got:

  • After-work lunch
  • After-work dinner (with friends, a must!)
  • Beach hang outs (with set lists)
  • Candlelight concerts (romantic)

Yeah… that’s heaps, isn’t it?

Is it?

If you even go in that order — I’m gonna be pregnant after the candelight concerts!

(Chuckles) Hmmm… okay… but just give me a few more ideas…

Well… I guess if it’s more ideas for hang outs with friends… then… bowling?

You like bowling?

Yes! Who doesn’t like bowling?

(Never really thought about it) Okay… bowling… what else?

Picnic or BBQ at the Botanical Gardens

Which ones?

Doesn’t matter. Surprise me.

Do you want to go to museums? Art galleries?

Yeah…? (Shrugs shoulders)

No. You’re not very excited about either of those ideas.

Well it’s just something that I’ll do by myself anyways, these days. I don’t really need it to be a “date” thing —

Okay, never mind. We’ll scrap those ideas. We’re not adding museums or art galleries. What else?

I don’t know…

Do you like Escape Rooms?

NOOOOOOO!!!

(That was a big reaction for a seemingly harmless, curious question) (Startled)

I’m claustrophobic. And even in digital game escape rooms — I’m just not that good at them. (Chuckles)

Okay… no date night experiences that might trigger claustrophobia…

YES, thank you…

Do you like mini-golf?

(Shrugs shoulders) Meh?

Okay… no mini-golf…

Well… I’m just afraid that… I’ll beat you…

(Laughing) What?!

Well, I’m good at golf. Better than you. I’m better at golf than you, and I know I’ll be better at mini-golf than you. So then, I just think, well, that’ll be embarrassing for him if we go on a date to mini-golf?! He’ll feel emasculated if I beat him?! But then, if I try not to beat him, that’s a lot of effort for me… as a woman… to like, hold back? Do you know what I mean?!

(Laughing so hard at this) I don’t want you to “hold back” from mini-golfing with me?! If you’re gonna beat me, then BEAT ME. I don’t mind! I want to see your golfing skills! That’s it! I’m adding mini-golf and a full 18-holes golf course to our dating to-do list!!!

(Laughing) Well, maybe I’m not even that good anymore… I’m almost 40… millennial woman… I haven’t played in years…

This is another one of those kickboxing stories and it turns out you’re actually a child golf prodigy…

(Laughing) NO! It’s not like THAT… sheesh!

Well, what is it?

Nothing, I just know how to play golf.

Since when?!

I don’t know… since maybe… 6 or 7 years old?

You see?! You see?!?! You just proved my point!

That’s not a “child prodigy” to know how to play golf since 6 or 7 years old. That’s just a normal person who learned how to play golf in their childhood!

Most people DON’T learn how to play golf in their CHILDHOOD. That’s why it’s DIFFERENT.

Ughhh fine… believe or think whatever you wish… I don’t know why I learnt it, I guess my Dad got me and my brother lessons and we would go golfing with him…

(Smiling)

What?!

You’re so cute…

(LOL) Take me to a candlelight concert.
