I have an awesome boyfriend right now, but before we were officially together, we'd just hang out at his place and have wine n dine dates. We'd get whatever food tickled our fancy (usually pizza or Japanese, since he lives right by those kinds of places), head to Winn Dixie to pick out some wine for the night (and usually cookie dough...!), and we'd have a movie planned to watch, so yeah! Sometimes we cooked together, or we baked this awesome thing we call a s'moregasm. And there were lunch dates. ...What I'm trying to say is that we really like food and alcohol. lol
But anyway, he's actually the only guy I had dates with before actually making things official. Before that, it would just be me liking a guy and talking to them a lot and eventually they'd ask me out, then we'd date. But with my current boyfriend, we actually did a lot of hanging out and such before making things official, so yeah. I gotta say, I like that a lot more. I consider those dates, though I know some people wouldn't consider them as such, but oh well, you don't matter. :)
