What to do for a date when a date is not enough?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) August 26th, 2011

For a couple of weeks or so now I have not been single. I met a girl online a few years ago and we became good friends, and now we have become more.

For the last few months we have been chatting over text, cam and mic every day, twice a day, in sessions that usually last 3 to 4 hours, some times more.

We plan to meet up in London and do all kinds of cool things, from all the usual tourist stuff, to more inventive ideas.

When in London we will also start dating. However, a regular date out to the movies or something is just not going to be “enough”, so to speak. For some time now we have both been having a hard time staying appart, we have the will and means to meet up any time we want, and are having a hard time being patient and sticking to our most logical plan. (to meet in 2 months 4 days from now)

What could we do once we meet up? We are looking for something that is a combination of a first date and a honeymoon, something special. There will be affection and kissing, but there can be no sex yet, as I don’t think it would be proper until we have been together for some time.

Any ideas?

Things we have come up with already: hot air baloon ride, free camping, limo ride, shacking up with champagne and fine chocolates in a comfy room with a big tv and plenty of blue rays.

I went on a first date with my future wife. We went bowling and had pizza.
When I was ready to drive her back to her car, she said “Let’s go on a second date right now!”
So, I grabbed a sweater, and we went to San Francisco for a second date.

Have your first date before midnight. Wait and have your second date at two minutes past midnight. Just a conservitive thought about the time involved.

Before midnight, go to a movie you both would enjoy.

After the stroke of midnight, kiss each other and go to another different movie. You are already there, so why take advantage of it? Also, there are less people, in a movie after midnight and the theater will be yours (if you know what I mean).

If you don’t want to have sex,. I don’t think shacking up is a good idea.

What about going dancing? You can hold her and all publicly.

Damn man! Watching TV when you have a whole wonderful city to explore? I’d go on a long romantic walk. I’d stop a restaurant here, a gallery there, but mostly spend the night talking, talking, talking, and touching and kissing and torturing myself (although I don’t think it is very chivalrous to deny a woman that which she most desires).

I wouldn’t do anything that required me to pay attention to anything other than her. I did not go all the way to London to watch the telly.

And as to the sex thing—frankly, I think it is downright selfish to refuse her. And how many times do you have in your life when you know she wants you the first time she meets you? Maybe that happens all the time for you, so it’s no big deal, but if it was me, it would be a very big deal.

Do you have any friends in London? Ask them where a great little place to eat is, the kind that a tourist wouldn’t ordinarily know about. I don’t know where you will actually physically be in London, but you should take her to Portobello Road. It’s a funky little outdoor market where everyone is friendly and there are some odd things for sale. There are also some wonderful little used bookstores in London. Do either of you like to read? Go there and find some great books you may not be able to find in your country. I did that when I was in London and ended up bringing home one of my favorite books.
