Big date coming up, need ideas.

Woah woah woah, you saying the last few were bad includes my post. Thats total bull, chicks will do anything to see Germans blast each other with pyrotechnics. As far as Soopa, Im pretty sure we all knew he was going to suggest a restaurant,"teh butt secks", and pimp hands; he probably learned everything he knows about women while hanging out behind Ruby Tuesdays begging for scraps.

dude ive never even been to a ruby tuesdays

Horseback ride out, picnic, see how things flow, let her know how you feel

[cowboy_00]

yea who knows, you might end up riding back facing each other...



if you get that your a dang perv.

[WaffleBaron]

Kinda hard to steer like that though...

[cowboy_00]

not if you have horses like mine, when you point them in a direction they just do it...or go home by themselves.

it leaves you free for all sorts of things...but lets not get into that.

Have fun!

take a horseback ride to the paintball field

then just go out to dinner and back to your/her house for a movie.

I actually went through this EXACT same thing, but I'm only 17.
I had known this girl for a few years, and we both knew we liked eachother.
Nothing really got started until we had a serious talk with eachother. We were both worried about how things would be awkward between us, but we decided to give it a shot.
She wasn't allowed to date until she was 16 - this was in a few months.
I waited until then, and I went through the same thing you did. I was stupidly nervous and it took me a month and half to even ask her out.
Like you, I wanted this to be different, special. I knew she didn't care where we went or what we did, but I cared.
What did we end up actually doing? Yes....going to a movie
Things have progressed, and she is now one of the most important people in my life.

So...
I really wouldn't let the whole "she's been a good friend. This could ruin our relationship" thing get to you.
I got the same thing, but I would have completely hated myself and regretted it forever if I didn't do something about our relationship. Asking her out was one of the best decisions I have EVER made. We now have a very strong relationship, and she means the world to me.

I would tell you not to fret over a "first date" that much, but this is a different situation.
Ultimately, she just wants to be with you, but a special night would definitely be a smart idea.
Try thinking of something yourself. You'll feel much better if you do.

I have a feeling this isnt going to be sound advice... but who knows.

Sometimes some of the simplest and overused things are the nicest.
While I won't tell you to bust down her door with a handful of chocolates, I will say the occasional flower is nice. You said that you've known this particular person for five-ish years, so you should already know what pleases her, what she likes and dislikes. What to say, what not to say, and topics that probably offend her.


Take her to one of those Art places that let you shape and fire your own ceramic bowls, or 'sculptures'. It can be messy and fun. I know there's a place around here I'd like to go to with my girlfriend when I have the time, and I stop being such a failure to her.

Instead of taking her TO a dinner. Bring the dinner to HER.

I direct you here.

Some of the best things aren't that 'big' at all. Spend a day with her, go to a bookstore for a few hours, maybe some new paintball gear?

You mentioned awkward silence. Maybe you could do some of this in a group environment, so if you two find that there is said silence, someone else can pick up the slack.



Also,
PENII.
