Ideal Date

This is how I go about asking someone out:
1. I usually like to get to know you before I make it official. This means café rendezvous, long phone calls and text messaging—I love texting.
2. Even though I fall in like easily, the other person needs to make their feelings known (body language, flirting, you know the signs) because I’m too shy to take a leap of faith.
3. First dates are always cause for extra attention to details. I realize how important first dates are, and I am always conscious about the first impression I make, so you know I’m thinking about fantastic first dates the moment you say, “Yes.”

Sorry to be superficial, but when I consider my options, appearance is definitely up there. Please try not to violate my “hair” rules, or wear the same thing every time we go out. I’m definitely an eyes person. The color of your eyes is not so important, as what I can see in them. Also, if you are overweight or your skin is translucent, I’m going to be a little turned off.

As far as dates go, I like to take care of my dates, and I definitely try to impress them by taking them out to places they like, or trying new activities. At the same time, I’m a fan of quiet time. I’m an outdoorsy person, so hiking, lying on a secluded beach or cruising around the island is always fun, whether I’m with friends or someone special. I get euphoric when I get to roll down the windows, blast some good music and sing, without caring who is listening. I’m a fan of hearing life stories, gossip and embarrassing moments, but I don't like to talk about anything too heavy, like politics, economics or exes. I like laughing and smiling and if you can make me LOL, you make my night. When I really care about a person I will pull out all the stops to impress them. One of my weaknesses is definitely spending too much money. When the impersonal flower girl comes around and asks if I would like to buy a photo or some roses, I’m all over it. If I like you, I don’t cut costs, and I never regret splurging on someone cool. Do I kiss on first dates? Hells yes! I like kissing—nothing too raunchy or obscene, but I like that contact, for sure.
