| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery?
Posted: 4/6/2009 6:06:52 PM | Heartbreaker:
first of all, nicely done for a first post in forum world ;) Definitely different subject :)
second of all, I think I would have liked it if it was certain cemetaries. New Orleans had some amazingly beautiful, historic cemetaries that were so beautiful they made you want to cry. Seeing all that history; imagining the stories of those who were within the flowers, fascinating and amazing if it was light, a well kept one and one where you could read the stones and imagine those who were within.
If it was a creepy It's Grinchnight one though, well, a lot of horror fans would have loved that. I guess that is one way to get a date to hold one's hand... going through one in the middle of the night with sound effects and a friend hired to come jumping out of the bushes at you dressed in all black with black facepaint to make you cling to your date... :) | |

Posted: 4/6/2009 6:20:06 PM | I am sitting here just cracking up over this one. It brought back memories about how I had a first meeting with one of my best friends. We actually met on this site, and as things worked out, I knew the lady that lived in the apartment under her, and the guy who lived across the street from her. She had no clue who I was, until one of her neighbors vouched for me.
We decided to make it a quiet night in watching movies at my place. (Not the norm for me, but she had great references from people we mutually knew.) So she was always joking that she thought I looked familiar. Like maybe she had seen me on AMW or something.
She pulls up in my driveway (Lived out in the country, way out in the country) and I had laid a dirty shovel on the porch, and an axe. She was kind of staring at them when I opened the door. She came in and when she did I realized she was taller than what her profile stated. So I kind of picked at her about it, and she assured me she was exactly the height she claimed. I pulled out a tape measure, and when I measured her............I stopped at the top of the shoulders.
She looks back on it and laughs now...My wounds have healed nicely. | |

My first thought: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Wouldn't be bad. Unless you've seen the movie Mr brooks and saw what happens there. Then, might be a little freaky. But as long as you bring a stake to ward of evil Vamps ,sounds like it could be fun. | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 12:59:06 PM | I have tramped around cemeteries since high school.... I lived really close to one that was pretty old... I always wondered how or why they died... then I saw my first headstone with a picture in it... so I was hooked... the historic cemeteries are very interesting to wander through and I'd love to travel to Savannah due to the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil"... not to mention see some of the characters there...
My ex and I stopped at them on our road trips along the way and yes, I do enjoy geneology research also...
Here in Lee's Summit the cemetery on 291 & 3rd Street has Cole Younger buried there.. | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 5:31:02 PM | IF IT IS AT THE CEMETERY WHERE MY DAD IS...I think it would be the BEST DATE EVER...This cemetery is my most favorite place to go...FIRST FOR THE QUIETNESS Yes...but so true...then knowing my dad is here, right above my feet...Yes, I know his soul is here above with me... I love going to this place and stare at the OLD PINE TREES just blowing in the wind there and just praying and talking... and perhaps my date and I can sit on the grass and have a lunch knowing daddy is below...and I even though I understand it is just the body, to me IT WAS and IS MY DAD...the man who PROTECTED ME ALL MY LIFE, and yes what a beautiful date it would be to sit and talk and cry about how I wish he would have met the man I am in love with...Dad this is him...as we look to the sky...
I am at PEACE...we go as we look at some of the writings, and realize some people had it worse than I did...and you think of other families and know your NOT ALONE... | |

Posted: 4/22/2009 8:07:13 PM | | Personally, I think cemeteries to be quite interesting places, but....I don't think I'd want to go there with someone I didn't know. Reminds me of a guy friend of mine who was on a first date with a girl he was attracted to, she gets drunk, starts having some kind of drama and insists on being taken home. Ok, he takes her home, but first, she wants to see her mother.....after pulling through the wrought iron gates( he really thought her family was loaded!) he realized they were in a cemetery! The girl jumps from the car and starts running around the cemetery looking for her mothers grave! At that point, a police car pulls up behind him ,and after telling his story, the cops are feeling really bad for him! They told him, get her out of here and we wont ticket you for trespassing! lol! needless to say, there was no second date! | |

Posted: 4/23/2009 6:13:37 AM | | I'm not going to make any quips or puns because I'm sure they've been done to death in the last few pages, but yeah, a first date at a cemetary would be rather unique.. not sure about this one. | |

Posted: 4/23/2009 2:30:32 PM | I actually did this for , not the first date, but I think the third one.
We went to an old historical cemetery located about thirty miles away from where we live.
It harbored an urban legend about one of the statues there... " The Black Angel"...
Legend has it that if you stand under it and kiss she will do harm to you.
We went there one "dark and gloomy night", located the angel and I threatened him within an inch of his life NOT TO TOUCH ME...
It was fun and a bit scary. Kinda made a "normal" date into something to remember. | |

Posted: 5/11/2009 9:47:35 AM | I had a second date with someone and after bowling and meeting her friends, she wants to go swimming. She knows a place. Its an hour away. To top it off, we get there at midnight. We go walking 30 minutes in the woods with no path. I thought I was going to get mugged!!
She goes into a panic, cause its late, its foggy. She had no problem with going there with me a stranger she met 2 nights before.
THEN we find the cemetary we need to cut through to get to the beach. That date was a blast :-)
When we got there, its all foggy and creepy and she says who's that? There's someone watching us. I didn't freak out, I said its a post at the end of the pier. She said well if its a post, where did it go?
Yikes! Okay, that was scary, but as it turned out it was the fog drifting in and out that covered the post :-) | |

Posted: 5/13/2009 3:56:57 PM | | I think that would be a cool date (cemeteries have their own unique morbid beauty) but for a first date, not very safe. Since you are more isolated, if he had been a sexual predator, you could have been putting yourself in serious danger. You lucked out this time, but for future first dates, avoid places that are too isolated. It's just not safe. Women are disppearing every day after all. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 12:27:53 PM | | Been there done that. It was...surprisingly dull. She was the goth type of course, had a friend that was getting married in some sorta pagan/wiccan marriage for two years thing, was actually a good painter of spooky/eerie things. She took off to Berkeley or SF or something for college and, uh, an alternative lifestyle. One of my fonder ex's for sure. | |
