Design a date

Like most women I love reading about beautiful and sweet first dates between a couple.  I always long to be a part of it.  I can imagine it well, hearing what they hear, seeing what they see, and so on and so forth.


Unfortunately I’ve never been taken on one of those dates and have missed it. So I want to know of your dream date. Where would you go? Who do you long to have with you? When would you go? What would you do? Why do you choose that as your dream date?

Its not hard but I do expect some great use of imagination here. There is no lack of money for the date but don't forget sometimes the simplist things make fo more meaning.  Make me want to be the one on the date and if its true make me jealous of your luck.

Rules:
1. Write it in story form.
2. 250 words to 2500 words (a few more or a few less will be accepted, don’t go completely crazy or it will be DQed)
3. Check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation well.
4. It’s a first date lets keep it semi clean, I’m not a girl to put out on the first date.

  • Awesome! I have been waiting to enter something like this! *jumps up and down with excitement* I stand with you for not having pre-writes. Good choice.

      Thanks, I was unsure how this would be accepted yet can't wait to read the entries.

      Most of the time I'm ok with prewrites (unless they are ones i've read before) but think with this it will be better with fresh ideas.

  • I'll start writing something tonight and hopefully will be able to hand an entrie by tomorrow. P.S What kind of date/guys do you have a soft spot for?

      hahaha, not telling. You'll just have to look through my stuff and my friends to find out what and who i like.

  • You and TNTrouble eh? Grrrrr, that was the only thing I could dig up that might be useful to me. I'll just have to craft an entrie based on my fantasies.

      LOL! Aye tis TNTrouble and i together, but you didn't think i would make it easy on you did you. Come on get that imagination going.

      • No, but I think my fantasys might be enough to pull a good entrie together.

  • Yes!
    I've been wanting to write about something like this for a while and it sounds absolutely fun!

    Bookmarked.

      Thanks thought it would be interesting to see what others think of as a dream date.

  • Hmm?

    I've had five women throw(give) themselves at(to) me on the first date. I rather liked it, but they dumped me later.

    Two questions: Does it have to be a first date? Would you let me know if you open to prewrites? I've got a story about a special date, but the couple had been seeing each other.

      I would love it to be a first date but if I don't have many replies within the next week I'll see about opening it to pre-written entries.

      I'm not one of those girls that will throw myself at the fella on first date but glad you liked those that did, sorry they dumped you later.

      • Yeah!

        I've never had a very long term relationship. I'm loyal, honest, and I guess unloveable.

          Awwww, I bet you're lovable. You just have to find the right girl/guy.

          • Possibly.

            I think a lot of the problem is that I don't look. I'm attracted to younger women, I don't have a car, but I do own a house. I spend most of my time at the computer. I have my cats and I hate rejection. I haven't been on a date since 2000.

            If I should start selling my songs or my writing, who knows? Maybe I'll be able to afford a car again and have more occasion to get out.

              I've always heard its when your not even looking that love find you and can attest to that. I NEVER would have thought I would find love online and was just goofin off with a real life friend when i found a great group and started talking to them. Within that group i started getting to know a few and some how some way got closer and closer to one and then my heart was stolen by the man who is mine now. I never looked for T but am thanking God each and everyday that we found each other.

              • Well,

                as it stands, online is about the only way I'm likely to run into anyone.

                  Online tis just as good as any. Tis where I met T and where we have to live our relationship until we are able to be together in the years to come.

      Hey Andy,
      I went ahead and opened it to prewrites. Go ahead and enter yours if you want.

      • I've only got one happy first date story,

        but I've got one that's more of a perfect date kind, 'The Concert'. I'm entering it. Hope you don't mind.

        Andy

  • I like the sound of this. I haven't ever been on a date, but a girl can dream can't she I'm gonna bookmark this.

      Anyone can dream of the perfect date, i know i do constantly.

  • I had the weirdest, random dream and it kind of inspired me to write for this contest. So keep your eyes open for an entrie later on today!

  • I'm sorry I couldn'y get my entrie in today because I had to go birthday present shopping and that ate a massive chunk out of my afternoon. Tomorrow I have to go Grocery shopping as well so I will do my best to get it in ASAP.

      Awwwwww, Come on Love not even gonna try to design a date for me. *pouts* And here i thought You would take me on a long ride on the back of Your motorcycle to surprise me with a few other things.

  • Does it have to me with someone I am with already.

      Can be with someone you are already with or anyone you have ever fantasized about dating. You know its a great chance to plan that special date with that hottie in the movies (whichever you want) or even a character from a book. I could easily see MANY MANY young girls and guys writing about dating Edward Cullen or Jacob Black.

  • Can I enter a flas-fiction, like the dream part of the dream date?

      Sure can, enter pretty much anything dealing with a dream date.

  • I have officially satrted writing my entrie. I have to do homework now though *groans* I will work more on it later.

  • I'll have to try and enter this later before it closes.... Great idea!

      Can't wait to see your entry, i did extend the time to get some more entries.

  • Aw man! I originally wrote Skating On Ice for this contest specifically (it was a new story but I saved it as a draft) before my computer totally blacked out before I could put it in...
    Now it's over...Damn. Honestly, I feel like banging my head on the table repeatedly coz I worked it till midnight just so it would be in time for the contest.

  • Hi Ms. Alee!

    Thanks for the honorable mention and points. I appreciate them. I'm pleased you like my story.

    Thanks for hosting.
