| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery? Posted: 5/25/2006 8:05:22 PM | This is my first "alone" date with this guy that I met from POF. And I thought it was quite odd, when he asked me there but I hey, what the hell, could be be interesting!
So... he comes by my house all dressed in black, and me in white and we head down to the corner store to get ice cream (and batteries, for some reason) before the cemetery. The drumsticks were good and the car was clean.
It was pretty neat because this place has been around for hundreds of years and they host tours there randomly.
The cemetery had the most unique tombstones and it was so beautiful there with the trees and the flowers and a big cannon with a garden surrounding. All was pretty cool until we got creeped out with the grass sinking in on some spots, and then seeing some very young graves, so we decided to take off before it got dark and spookier....and headed down to the casino instead.
Anyways, it was pretty cool and just wondered what others thunk? Do yyou think I should see him again?
By the way this is my very first posting in forum world, how did I do? | |

| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery? Posted: 5/25/2006 8:40:34 PM | | In California there is a massive cemetery called Forest Lawn ..... and for the last 100 years it has been a destination for visitors / daters / school groups / picnics / et cetera. It is an intimate trip through history and a view of peoples inner thoughts and their love. A wonderful idea for a date. Do it again and often, no better way to get to know someone than through this type of conversation. Enjoy It. | |

| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery? Posted: 5/25/2006 9:05:02 PM | Genealogy is one of my hobbies so a date at an historical cemetery would be a treat for me....especially if I had ancestors buried there.
One caveat: I would have to be sure I trusted the guy because cemeteries can be deserted....particularly historical ones. A first date there with a stranger would make me uneasy. | |

| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery? Posted: 5/25/2006 9:09:23 PM | | Its in Glendale, outside Los Angeles, in the Hollywood Hills. My mother told me about it first, and she used to visit it as a child in the late 1920s and early 30s. It has mausoleums/funeral homes/crypts/churches & chapels/graves of stars/ordinary people/military people/pioneers. It has been a "destination" for a long long time. and it is a very popular dating/wedding (yes...lots of weddings there....done there for years)/picnic (and funeral) location. If you have not been there, its worth the trip. Amazingly beautiful and highly interesting and historical. A lot of tinsletowns biggies live near and use the grounds to get away from unreality for a walk amongst the real. | |

If you know someone well enough ,that they are not going to think you are a ghoul then go for it
just maybe don't suggest a picnic | |

| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery? Posted: 5/25/2006 9:39:36 PM | | I think it's a really bad idea, although if both people are goths, then it might be somewhat enjoyable. But personally, if you don't know anyone at a particular cemetary, you shouldn't be going there in the first place, especially on a date. | |

| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery? Posted: 5/25/2006 9:51:26 PM | I think it's a little weird sure :) But i also think weird things can be a lot of fun! I'd definitely be happy to give that a try.
You make it sound like you had fun though, so I'd say yeah, go for another date. Take the same precautions you would with anyone you don't really know of course... | |

| What do you think about a first date at the cemetery? Posted: 5/25/2006 10:00:26 PM | I'm into history so it's cool. I dunno that I'd like my first date with someone to be there , I think I've watched too many horror movies and knowing my luck as of late he would turn into some freak from night of the living dead or something! There is a little cemetary in Niagara on the lake - very interesting , I can't remember for sure but I think that all the headstones were from the 1800- late 1900's | |

Any man that is confident that he an bring a woman anywhere especially a Cemetary is BALLSY and still entertain her and have fun! ... is GREAT! ... you sounded like you enjoyed yourself.
I say you see him again. Who cares where you went. Ask yourself, how did he make me feel!
If it is a positive answer then you know what to do ... Now COMPLETEKAOS come give daddy a kiss! | |
