Do you STILL go on DATES with your Significant Other?

Yes we go out dancing ...( ballroom ) at least once a week, so we get dressed up in better than casual ,but comfortable clothing to go to most dances
No frills or long dresses like the old days.
 
We never had a date night. When the kids were growing up,If we couldn't go as a family someplace we didn't go and that was fine with both of us.
When my daughter got married and lived on the West coast we traveled by car to visit them a few times. Now that she is in VA. we travel to see her more often. That's enough for us. When at home we go to IHop on senior Wednesday or an occasional buffet other than that we are like a couple of comfortable old shoes. We both like our own space. The hubby in his recliner with the tube and me in my daughters room with my crafts,books and sewing machine. A borrowed movie from the library for night viewing once in awhile

The rest of the time our kids and the Grands round out our lives.

Dancing! That’s such a romantic thing to do together.
Did you take dancing lessons together or did you both know how to dance before you met?

I wish my man knew how to dance but he doesn’t. My parents enjoyed ballroom dancing and did it often.
Myself, I’d prefer the dancing without the ballroom. Even just to dance under the moonlight... sigh.

My husband and I go out on dates to restaurants mostly by ourselves but we also like to go walking, skating, swimming, tobagonning, sailing, ( is a new one ) singing, painting, horseback riding and other exciting things with other couples too.
Sure we enjoy each other’s company but sometimes it’s nice doing things with others. It adds interest.

With this nice weather there are so many more things to do.
The winter season tends to keep us inside more for obvious reasons.
Yayyy summer.

I also enjoy my alone time too:)

Has anyone ever tried going to a paint and drink class?


My best gf drinks and I don’t really but we went to a Canvas and Cabernet!


It was really fun. It was a 2 hour class with everything included including a glass of wine. We both had a great time and came home with a nice picture.


There are other places like ‘pinto palette’ ‘paint nite’ wine & design, paint and cocktails.


Some artists will come to your house and host your painting party . They supply all the painting supplies while you supply the painters and your own food and beverages.


I’d like to go dog sledding one day
Zip lining? And water rafting !
I’d also really, really love to go on a sleigh ride in the moonlight. So romantic.

Keesha We had both been married before ( we have been married 31 years )
I must admit not all smooth sailing :( .
I knew how to,dance before met him ,then one day I seen a dance advertised in the local county newspaper and we went along to watch ,in the hope he’d at least try .

He agreed to take classes close to,were we live ,and when we were confident with those, we started traveling down ( a 300 km return trip ) to the city to tackle more advanced dances .

The last 3 weeks we have attended 3 different venues a week for dancing
We have been dancing together 9 years

Wow! That’s fantastic! What a trouper your man is to go along with it and now you’ve had a dance partner for 9 years.
How romantic.

I bet the dance venues are stunning.
Do you watch any dancing shows?
So you think you can dance?
Dancing with the stars?
Or World of dance?

World of Dance is the new show with Jennifer Lopez as a judge. It’s an amazing show.
 
We call them "adventures". We often just get in the car and drive. Never sure where we will end up. Nice about having an electric car. No worries about the rising gas prices.
 
We love our date nights and have at least two a week. Of course,having the foster kids,it`s the only way we can have "alone time"-although we frequently are with my sister and BIL. This week was a little different. We took two of the girls out to dinner with us on Friday night as we had a new girl(and her baby) coming in late Friday night. Did have a date night with my sister and BIL on Sat. night and last night went out with our new girl and her baby. The other two girls were spending the night with friends. We don`t usually "do" infants,but this girl was with us four years ago and we loved her to pieces. Then she ran away-not to get away from us but due to her background,she just couldn`t stay in one place. And she had basically been on her own for a time before she came to us,so she wasn`t accustomed to having "parents". Anyway,she is now 17,has an almost one year old and realizes she DOES need guidance lo. But she`ll only be with us until late August when she turns 18. Then she will get her own place,enroll in college and be on her own.
 
We are widows with a lot in common. We go out for lunch or dinner, go on winery tours, pick apples, visit Cornell's botanical gardens, see comedians, attend rock concerts, food fests, movies, and go for walks locally. We like going for hikes on several trails within an hours drive.
 
My hubby and I are so different ..... it would be hard for us to do anything together. I don't know how,but we make it work and enjoy every day with each other .
 
The last date I was on she said she puts out at the end of the date when we get to her place. So when got to her front door she went in and came back to put out her garbage and next let the dog out then closed the door!:frown-new:

:rofl: Well at least she gave you fair warning.
 
I think going on dates helps keep a spark alive. For a long time my husband and I didn’t do much at all together except work, going for walks, and watching tv. It wasn’t until I met my girlfriend that we changed all that. Her and her husband do a lot of different things together. They are always going out so since we are now friends, their lifestyle sort of rubbed off on us. My girlfriend and I also have date nights so it makes it extra entertaining
It keeps my husband on his toes :grin:
Next weekend we are all going to a Neil Young tribute. I am really looking forward to it.
