| I would like to get to know you guys a bit better, and some of the topics, well...just the title of the thread keeps me from going in there and reading, just seems like nonsense.
So, I thought I would start one with a little substance. Not sure if it has been done before or not, but if it has, then maybe your thoughts might have changed since it was last run.
If you met someone on here, chatted for a long time via email, messenger, phone, met in person a time or two..... If money, time, family demands, location were not issues to get in the way..... What would your ideal first weekend with this new potential love of your life be like? Set the stage for how you would spend that first weekend alone together, starting on your journey of something forever.
Mine:
Log cabin in the mountains with a metal roof, by a lake. Late spring when the world is still fresh and green, warm during the day and a light chill at night. Fishing poles, walking sticks, and cameras by the front door. Warm spring breezes during the day, gentle rain dancing on the metal roof at night. Fire in the fireplace. Sumptuous bed all soft, warm and inviting. Deep soaker tub for two. Chilled wine, fresh herbs, veggies and nice cuts of meat waiting in the kitchen. No tv. No phone. Cd player and extensive disc library.

| I wouldn't let any of the above worry you. Just ignore it. A lot of hot air!
Mind if I steal your fantasy? I like it and it sounds wonderful.
If you should go through with it, I suggest you meet the person in such a way that if they are not who you think they are you can end the romance and get away quickly.
Your vision is one where the two parties should have an established relationship before going out in the wilderness to a secluded cabin. Too many freaks out here as is clearly evident. Safety first!

I think I'd have her over to my place where she would clean my entire apartment and cook me delicious meals and then leave me alone.

| Oh, I meant that this would be after tons of talking and getting to know each other and doing background checks even, if that is what you want. Once you are 100% secure in being with the person you had in mind...how would you spend that first weekend together?

| EvilEddy - you always come up with the bestest answers bro! you are da man! ^5
As for me, I would arrange a place where both of us would be comfortable. The location is not important to me. I would be setting the stage for the first meet. (To me, a first meet does NOT mean "in bed" - go ahead.. I will let you think I am a fool, or old fashioned, or whatever!. ) Since it would be an entire weekend, I am thinking an extended stay hotel - they have a kitchenette (would love to cook a meal together), refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker (MOST important for me!). I would arrive early enough to stop at a grocery store and stock the fridge and get a selection of wines. I would get the groceries put away.
I would then find out when she is arriving, and be ready for her (come on now! not THAT way! sheesh, this is a first meet, remember! ROFL). I would ask her how her trip was, help her with luggage, overnight bag, etc. I would allow her time to get settled, pour a glass of wine (or her favorite beverage) while she is doing so.
I would have found out ahead of time her favorite activities, and planned an evening out with her. This could include dancing, a movie (in the room or at the theatre), a play, or some other event.
We would talk. Get to know each other. Share laughs, giggles, talk about our journeys, etc. I would also invite her to write in a notebook - a book of memories. I would be sure to write my own notes down.. feelings, thoughts.. that way she can read mine, and I could read hers. It would be a momento of our first meeting.
In the end, I would hope that both of us would have grown a stronger bond, remembered and experienced something special, shed a tear as we departed, and let our minds think about the NEXT chapter in the story!
Call me wierd.. I just prefer that my actions bring honor to both her and I.

| Hi Angel 
This is a good one. A thinker. But the more I try and think, I keep going back and reading yours. Nothing is left out.
I like the beaches, so I guess I would love a getaway to one of the islands with lots of privacy and lots of room service.
And if he did not want to do that, then I would call you Angel to plan it for me 'cause you know how to do it! lol

| Good job Angel girl!
Mine would be (is!) traveling to location for weekend by train, reading and relaxing on the trip....bringing warm clothes, jeans, and a little balck something. Arriving, meeting at train depot, walking around seeing sites, being tourists "I like this, do you see that?" carrying cameras....checking in to good hotel, getting ready for dinner, and live blues, walking the sites at night....talking over coffee or good scotch maybe live acoustic in the background, talking and slow dancing smiling to last call.....back in the hotel....talk more? Don't want to leave only time to be together....so stay awake and talk until breakfast from room service....see the city do the aqaurium, see the art museum...and repeat the evening before only maybe dinner Italian....a ride on the el?
Yum! Can't wait!

| I guess I will show my simplicity here.
On Lake Erie there is a peninsula known as Marblehead. At the east end of the peninsula sits the old Marblehead lighthouse.
Early June when the winds are mild and the weather is warm, there is a small locust tree near the base of the lighthouse. From there you can look south into the mouth of Sandusky bay, and see parts of Cedar Point. To the north is Kelley's Island, and to the east nothing but vast expanses of open water.
Just sit there with someone special, or even alone and enjoy a picnic lunch and the cool summer breeze coming off the lake. You can sit and watch the world go by from that location. The recreational boats running out to the islands or down to cedar point. The Coast Guard boats running to yet another call (It's usually the first or second busiest search and rescue station in the United States.) The occasional freighter coming in or heading out, the people fishing from the base of the light at the shoals. Parents bringing their kids to see the old lighthouse, and most never really knowing it's importance.
It's a place to sit and reflect. Quiet conversation if you choose, or just admire the fact that God gave us such a wonderful place. I typically go into deep thought there as that place to me represents my own mortality, since I want my ashes scattered there.
The only draw back is if someone knows I am there then my damned cell phone rings and asks me to help out on something at the USCG station a mile down the road.
