If someone was courting you, what would you consider to be the ideal 'date'?

That's gonna be different for each person, you know.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

I can gather ideas and pick between them, since I know the other person and which she would probably prefer. I'm not expecting one perfect answer.

[mockspeople.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

So what's this girl like?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Reserved. She's intelligent and mature, but can be cold and has difficulty accepting that other people like her. She enjoys swordplay and owns a pet dragon.

[mockspeople.livejournal.com]

She owns a pet dragon?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

A small one.

Ummm...you should have a date that keeps both of you interested. It's no good if one of you is bored...at least, maybe not on a first date.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

This is the only date she's going to let me have unless I can convince her that it's worthwhile to have more, so I thought I'd focus a little more on her interests this time.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Hmm, then what are her interests?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Swordplay. And brooding, if that counts.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Swordplay? [Think think think]

...do they have sword fighting competitions?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

There are some in my world. I'm not welcome at most of them, but they exist.

For Christmas, Ken and I just stayed in. We ordered in food, made a Christmas cake, and decorated a tree. I guess it was our first real "date", but it was the best.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Christmas will be over before my date happens, and I don't really celebrate it anyway.

[graceful-bombay.livejournal.com]

Well, I just meant that something small and private could be very comfortable, I guess.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure... Maybe. If I can think of anything.

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

Part of that depends on how long the 'courtship' has been going.

[glass-secret.livejournal.com]

What kind of date are you trying to go for, sweetie?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

She's a very reserved woman who agreed to one date with me. I want the best possible situation to impress her enough to have a second.

[glass-secret.livejournal.com]

Well damn. Talk about putting you in a tough spot.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Normally I'd just trust my own judgment, but this is important.

[glass-secret.livejournal.com]

You must really like this girl.

So what kind of things is she into?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Swordfighting, mainly. And she must like dragons or she wouldn't have a pet one. Aside from that, I don't know many of her hobbies.

[curajas.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I know it sounds cliche but just being with them. If you've been together a while, does it matter what you do?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

This is our first date, and possibly our only if I don't impress her.
