Topic: Perfect night out

[Anders]

What's your perfect night out with someone you love like? You're not trying to get the person in bed, just have a good time. I'll set an upper limit of $500 (U.S.) - if that's not enough for you, tough shit. Post in some other thread.

My perfect night out is a night in. Alone.

Argh, Anders, you have caused me to daydream on a day when I have much work to do.

I would use your $500* for a night or two at one of my favorite places on earth, Blackwater Falls State Park, in Tucker County, West Virginia.  High on a mountaintop, as the old bluegrass song has it, remote, peaceful, rustic, and beautiful.

*That would totes cover lodging, food, and the drive from Allentown.

My gentleman friend and I would spend the days hiking** in the beautiful, lush woods, after a big breakfast in the lodge restaurant on the rim of the Blackwater River canyon.  Plans for the evening would include hanging out in the hot tub, dinner at the lodge, perhaps some quiet time by the fireplace (the lodge has a large, yet cozy, living room) or sitting out on the canyon rim, where the stars seem close enough to touch.  And yes, we're staying over dammit!  Your budget would allow two nights in the lodge, or one in a cabin.

Ahh...it would be wonderful.





**A man who won't go hiking with me is probably not my man.

We had a really good night out a few weeks back.  We went to one of the higher end sake and sushi restaurants.  We ordered the "Chef's Tasting Menu", which was a 6 course meal of whatever the chef wanted to serve us that night.  They also had an amazing sake menu.  We dropped probably $300 on that meal, and it was worth it.  We stopped for wine and beer on the walk home, and finished the night playing video games and getting sloshed.  For just a single night out, it was pretty badass.

No night out not ending in sex can be considered "perfect."

Well...he said "not trying to get the person in bed."  It could just, y'know, happen.  I think it's not specifically prohibited in the rules.

Hey, Anders, are you actually gonna pony up the budget for the best scenario?

Exactly, it could happen but you're not primarily interested in getting nookie here. Just enjoy yourself.

And no, unless I win a helluva lot of money.

1.  Excellent.   

2.  C'mon, man, get with the moneymaking.

What's the Sergeant's perfect night?

[stretcher]

Why not an entire day? This was me and the ex's routine, once a month in Spring and Summer: start the morning at the zoo for an hour or so seeing our favorite animals. Then I go up the street to the museum, spend about an hour there. Then off to lunch in downtown, there are several expensive restaurants I like there. By now it's about noon,  head to the theme park Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Ride rides, see stupid live shows, eat some overpriced food and drink overpriced beer. When it begins getting dark head off to the tourist trap $250/night hotel (a lot for a suite in that area, believe it or not), grab some drinks in the bar. In the morning enjoy breakfast in bed, then drive back across town to the real world.

I tried this with a girl I was dating recently. She didn't care for the museum and wouldn't ride anything approaching scary at the theme park, so it was a real let down.

Perfect night is a night in, with the following elements:

- Cool weather, preferably rain.
- Nothing important to do the next day i.e. sleep in without guilt.
- Indian take-out from a familiar and trusted establishment.
- A movie we're both excited to see / season or series finale of a show we're both into.
- A couple of alcoholic beverages, but just a couple.
- Rugging up on the couch with our bed covers.

Might sound boring but it's my kind of night.

[stretcher]

Those kinds of nights are great. I'll go with a rare really cool Summer night, windy, every window in the place open.

For me it would just be walking through the city with good company, eating, drinking (possibly limited shopping) at as many cool unique places as possible.
