So... what is a great date? What is your hallmark for knowing you are on (or had) a great Date?...
Of course, context matters. Is this your first date or a blind date.... or is it celebrating a special day... Valentine's with your wife?... Lol.

When you're both fully present (not just physically, but mentally and emotionally), and you both feel respected and appreciated, and hopefully desired by one another.

Can't negotiate attraction.
TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F
Either it's there or it isn't. You can't force it. And the more you try, the greater the "ick factor". I know, because I've tried in the past to force myself to feel something that I just didn't, and it always ended badly.
SW-User
It's a shame too, the deep understanding that patience brings can birth true, lasting lust.

I had a friend named Tony that passed away years ago. Ynot is his name backwards. I did it to never forget the impact he made on me :)
SW-User
Yes... and I've grown up a little...(okay, maybe a lot). I'm not 20-21 when it comes to a date. Lol.

You have to have that connection to your date and yes the chemistry needs to be there..
Carissimi · 70-79, F
For me, I think it would be having great company and interesting conversation with someone I enjoy being with. There would be a great rapport between us. You can't beat being with someone who genuinely "gets" you.

However, since my last date was 27-years ago, I'm just guessing. Reality could be different.
SW-User
Ooh... that's a good response.
SW-User
I think you are right... though at different times, the other two answers might be true as well.
Carissimi · 70-79, F
Djce, no one has asked me, and I'm not sure I would accept even if asked. I've only been single for 12-months.
SW-User
Yeah... 20-21 was not my most mature dating years... lol... I mostly wanted to end my date... umm... (better leave it at that...)
Ynotjenn · F
It's all about the chemistry. If it's there, it will be a great date. And you usually know instantly...
SW-User
Lol... what's the context of your name... Y not.. in front of Jenn?... LOL. Just asking...
SW-User
Ok.. I will probably delete it later. Since I shared it on EP, some have seen it before.
SW-User
Yes.. true.. not much of a secret. Should I just blurt it out? (discreetly).. Lol.
SW-User
It's hard to remember I'm sure... but why not date again. I'm sure you could, Carissimi.
SW-User
I admit... my face reddens just a little... admitting that to a lady. Lol.
Ynotjenn · F
Thanks but I'm fairly certain all girls faces that early in life ;)
SW-User
Thanks for not holding it against me.... Lol.
SW-User
Wow, that is beautiful. I don't usually say that.
SW-User
Ynotjenn - I updated the question

When you don't want to end.
Ynotjenn · F
Lol I remember those day :D
SW-User
Haha... is that a yes?
Btw Ynotjenn.. I posted my (other) most embarrassing moment story. You may have seen it on EP because I had posted it there. I might not keep it up, some don't like it. Lol.
SW-User
Thanks for not judging. I had mentioned that my dating goals... earlier in life... adolescence... were umm, less PC (using your term).
SW-User
Thanks. I know we had shared it before... did you get a good laugh? I do try to make it interesting in the telling.
SW-User
Ynotjenn - You are quite pretty... you must have faced that earlier in life as well... Lol.
Ynotjenn · F
Haha well I think your secret was already out. Lol boys will be boys :)
SW-User
Yes, Carissimi, I saw your profile. Still.. the time might be right.
Ynotjenn · F
Yeah...all that stuff definitely makes a difference lol
Ynotjenn · F
I'll have to check it out :)
Peaches · F
The eyes have it.
MrsKatherineArch · 41-45, F
