P And Q blind Dates....

Ok campers I'm Cilla Black and we're going to play a little game if you like, if you don't then feck off.

In fact, answer these questions briefly and I'll use the responses to pair you up...and most likely not in a good way. I will, once we have enough people, send you off on virtual dates, which you both get to report on, just like Blind Date, or whatever that crap Tv show was.

1. Describe a good romantic date.
2. What turns you on?
3. Ideal man/woman?

Ok, thats all I need to completely mismatch you all.

Get camping campers....

I'll join in too and get someone else to pair me up.

I watched this show today, and it's sad. They DEFINITELY choose people they KNOW won't get along. :P

1. Describe a good romantic date.
2. What turns you on?
3. Ideal man/woman?

Hahahahaha, I can't believe I am doing this. Too funny!

1. Depending on the circumstances...I could go for a sumo wrestling match, play around at a Playground (no joke), watch some horse polo, ride my horses on the beach and tie up for a picnic (maybe a swim swim)--or just go to the beach and play frisbee, lay out in the sun, swim and eat...hmm...we could compete together at a Pub Game--you know they have weekly? The ones where you put in some money, you have a team and you drink beer while answering questions about anything and yeah...if you don't know what I'm talking about, forget it. We could take our dogs on a long walk, rent kayaks, go dancing! (not like a club, but maybe salsa or swing? Yeah!), we could go to a theme park, a fair, attend a book reading at a bookstore...book browse and grab dessert...We could go to a Live Comedy Show! How about blasting Funk in my living room, dancing around and laughing for a few hours? Alright, I'm up for almost anything...so what do YOU want to do? ;)

2. Nice eyes--big and sexy, interesting hair (long, curly, mohawk, etc.), hmm...Humor and wit turns me on. Affection too :) I like getting in playful arguments. Oh, and everyone loves a nice smile.

3. Haha? I don't know! Ok fine. I want a dark, tall, athletic ethnic guy with gorgeous eyes, a sexy smile, and long, thick, DARK hair. (Don't tell Jeff!). I like full, kissable lips...strong hands, muscular back and abs, broad shoulders....Oh sweet jesus, I'm drooling. Personality? I like the non-comformist type. Someone who is incredibly interesting, ambitious, clever, serious AND silly. I like a guy who is adventurous, open-minded, and intelligent. Yup.

Kevin, I pick you. Oh crap...I guess we can't choose ;)

Bob, horses and motorcycles? We should hang out!

Ok guys this is good, nice answers there Jane, and who knows maybe someone else will put us together for our virtual date.

Regardless, I will need maybe 3 more people before i start sending you all off.

Here are my answers.

1. Describe a good romantic date.

Well it would be, or start at least during the day, you know so if she runs away I can follow her. I like doing things with people, active things, so maybe a wee picnic in a nice scenic spot in town, have a chat...lie about yourself, you know. And then off to play Tennis or something, cylcing, whatever, something active and potentially competitive so you can see what they are like under pressure [cause obviously I rule at all games]...after that, maybe a nice walk and talk...and perhaps some food and tea...and then maybe a gig, you know some accoustic night so you can still chat...and then..well who knows.
2. What turns you on?

The button baby, the button. Girls who really look at you and show you they are really thinking about and considering you, awareness basically, and girls who move and dress in a free comfortable way, and I don't mean slutty, though that is fine, I mean comfortable, you know they like their own skin. I like a challenging humour and wit, in a playful way..and I like tomboys cause you can punch them and they can play games almost as good as me.

3. Ideal man/woman?

Well Helen Mirren is hot. She is taken though. Ah, just someone who gets me going you know, who is highly aware and sensitive enough, and abstract enough to hold a conversation with me that means I don't have to explain everything twice..someone who can take a joke, and give one back...and a girl who drinks pints, that is always cool. Who knows though right, these are all random things...

1. Describe a good romantic date.
well somewhere where it's just me and him. Probably go over to his house and he can cook a nice meal. Aww. Oh and of course it would have to incorporate a spa. There could be a spa bath outside on his balcony and it would be early autum so not too hot not too cold and it would be night time with lots of stars. And the balcony would have to be overlooking something really pretty like a rainforest, or beach. And then we could go inside and watch a movie..hmm a comedy I think. Everyone needs more laughter in their lives. Oh and how can I forget chocolate dip strawberries.

2. What turns you on?
Intelligence, but not pompous intelligence, or arrogancy or people who broadcast how smart they too everyone. But more subtle intelligence that shines through in those special comments he would make here and there. And ofcourse humour I love laughing. We would have to have things in common also and enjoy a good debate here and there so we can bounce ideas off each other and be very passionate. And eyes and smile I always notice that's a majoy turn on.

3. Ideal man/woman?
Doesn't have to be spectacularly good looking but I do need to be attracted to him. Eyes and smile are things I always notice. Must be understaning and trustworthy but also honest. Lots of things in common. Display the above things. I often thought I would like to marry a doctor but of course some doctors have long working hours. And then the dilemma would occur when he would have to examine other beautiful women so thus I conclude that he should only have eyes for me.

Whoever said wishes come true should seriously re examine there case lol

1. Describe a good romantic date

I would say, moonlight with a hint of starlight, under the Gondola...Sipping hot cocoa with lil marshmellows and enjoying the lights of Venice.

2. What turns you on?

Slowly torturing someone under the moonlight...

3. Ideal man/woman?

Don't know...I guess J'Lo is an ideal woman for moi...And Beyonce..And Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell

Well as this is a "fake" dating game, I suppose I can play too! :)

1. Describe a good romantic date
Well there could be a range of things - a day time date with someone thats more of a friend developing into something more serious would be adventurous like going dirt bike riding, then eating Nandos (I love Nandos) or having a bbq outside with a couple of drinks overlooking our big back yard (its very pretty)
OR if its more of a "date date", I would want to do something fun like go dancing (but not doof doof dancing - more structured dancing that requires a bit of skill). Maybe have something to eat on a boat restaurant (they have them on the Thames River - so nice with the London lights of Westminster and Big Ben reflecting on the river) and then a stroll somewhere - not too far cause I dont like walking so much! :) It has to be original tho - any good ideas he can come up with to make it original would be good.

2. What turns you on?
Smile and eyes definitely. I like longer less kept hair usually. I like the surfer look and attitude as its just so laid back and full of life.

3. Ideal man/woman?
Honest, trustworthy, good/wicked sense of humour, intelligent but not arrogant, full of life - SPONTANEOUS! Adventurous... when my husband and I got engaged (overlooking Vic Falls in Zimbabwe) we spent the weekend celebrating by going on game drives in a reserve, bungee jumping, going on a helicopter ride and a river cruise - was the best weekend ever!

HAHA - reminds me of my Friday night last week... except i was alone... lighting fires in my backyard and getting in trouble cause I used too much petrol on the fire (the wood was all wet... and I like petrol) and accidentally burnt the neighbours bamboo... oh well - it was a cracking fire after that. Nothing wrong with waking up the next day with a sore throat when you know you've done nothing you regret! :)

Give me draught anyday over bloody floods in summer! NOT HAPPY JAN!

Oh... and give me weeds any day of the week too... weeeeeeed

J.k

I've heard a lot about Kaitlin this last week... Wonder why I've never met her.

When do we get our dates Kevin? Are you paying for everyone? You're such a kind fellow... (I cant believe I just used the word "fellow"... oh MY Im sooo posh right now)...

I can crack a whip pretty good... so Bob and I can stand on the side and watch while you guys fight for Kevin!

haha. Oh. I just realised how old I am. This is sad. haha.

f*ck it.

I wanna play!

Date:

Something very un-date-like. A real date would scare me. I'd much rather have some casual time with someone, until that's comfortable. So! Fingerpainting or some other art project.... playing chess, Risk, or PrettyPretty Princess.... (Scrabble? ~ ~ ) Walking out to my favorite place.... squaring off with lightsabers.... (I'd totally win, by the way.) Making friends with trees...

Turn Ons:

abby.

Ideal Man/Woman:

Honestly, nerds seem to do it for me. They get so carried away by what they're interested in, that they don't even care how they come across half the time. Plus, I'm a nerd, so it just works. They would most seriously totally have to be a reader. Books and the stories they hold form such a big part of my life that if someone can't get that, it can't really work. Apart from that... someone genuinely nice, who sees some of the silly humor in everyday life... who loves being outside... who doesn't care about possessions or appearances. I know I said "nerd" earlier, but I don't really care how they did in school or anything. The important factor is that they actually open their eyes and take the time to contemplate their situation. Thinkers. Feelers. This conscienciousness and connection to the world can be apparent in the smallest comments, but I'll notice it and appreciate it.

If they're a good kisser, extra points, because I enjoy it immensely.

I'm really not a great chess player (though I am improving)... I make messy mistakes. I think I'm too impatient. I have, however, perfected the art of being defeated in a long, drawn out, irksome way, that sometimes makes my opponent just want to give up. Hee hee.

I know when the game is over about halfway through. Does that make me a good chess player, or just a really bad one?

Haha, I have a few things to add...

Oh, I'm halfway decent at Chess. I'm teaching my Uncle to play.

Angelina, you can have Kevin. I'll take Bob when he was 20, if that's possible. Sorry Bob, you're too old for me now. Abby, let's make babies. Or try. Why Sybelline, I only date nerds :) Oh Kevin, shame...I'm probably the toughest girl you will ever meet. I ride bareback only (Yes, Bob, I'm a tough horse woman), I played goalie and attack on my highschool Lacrosse team and was MVP every year, I took fencing for several years, and I was an assistant horse Vet...If jogging Thoroughbred stallions, drawing blood, holding horses as they are put down, taking x-rays and ultrasounds, drawing up and giving shots--isn't enough for ya, I don't know what is. I could go on, but I won't.

And adding to date possibilities: Wrestling (funny thing is, you'll probably end up on the ground below me...I'm an agile cat, I am), watching live jazz at Yoshi's while drinking margaritas, eating edamame and chocolate cake, building a fort and climbing trees in the Red Woods, going cycling (be that motor or regular), going for a hike...and did I mention a Theme Park above? I love roller coasters, they're 'ace.' Hmm...I'm a master at essentially all video games, but god forbid, I can't play war games. No joke. Guys always think I'm all talk, no play...but I guarantee you, I will not lose (unless I let you win because you're cute...or we're playing a war game, yeah).

Sorry, I felt as though I was being outdone and couldn't let that happen. Jealousy, ya see?

Abby, I'm straight...but I can make one exception ;)

Building a fort!!

Let's have a play-date.

Yes, let's, but you are the cookie bringer. Don't forget!

'Well it would be, or start at least during the day, you know so if she runs away I can follow her.'

That's the funniest thing I've heard (or read) all morning!

Wow!

First off, thanks everyone for getting involved, though I know it's because you're all desperate, it really touches me somewhere, maybe my knees, maybe my ears....maybe somewhere dark.

Right, I'm now going to set some of you up, and tell you what you are going to be doing. To keep things simpler maybe you should all create a thread for each new date and you can both tell the story and act as you wish, and I'll try to keep the spoilsports out with a warning that any posts not related to the date will be deleted.

Bob, seeing as you are a dude I can depend on, you get to choose my date...don't mess me over man.

oK DATERS...behold your destiny.

Mo and Blank Illusion are going on a Hot Air Balloon ride over the Grand Canyon, with a hamper, some choons and a few choice beers.

They both want great views, some good music, food and drink, Mo likes the long haired type...Blank likes....*purdy ladies*....a match made in heaven.

*and that gets him off my back....shudder*

Bob and Sherry are going to Rome for the weekend, all expenses paid do as they please.

Bob is most likely the only person in here, who is male who could fix Sherry's "porch", so to speak. Sherry wants a gentleman who knows how to treat a lady proper, and they are both too old to morally date anyone else in here....Ha..only jesting you geeks...I think you'll be grand...say hello to the Pope for me.

Noir and Sibyllene [I am breaking my own and Abby's heart here] are going on a survival weekend in Wales. They can take part in all manner of exciting woodland and lake activities!

I have completely disregarded what they asked for, as I'm going with my instincts on this one...I think they two Polar opposites will click in that magic way that only the brat pack sing about...yeah.

Ok, that will do for now I think....we really need more chaps for this to work in a Christian way. So, create your date threads and get going...oh I forgot to mention, I will be visiting your dates as the host and doing little interviews with each of you...you know, asking about first impressions etc!

Ok, get busy..and I'll get to the rest of you very soon.

*psst bob...psst....I can handle 3 girls at once man...just to solve the numbers "problem"...wink wink..

Haha! Well, well...thanks a lot. Old man, I should not have tried to compliment you.

Actually, the main reason they kept him alive was for media coverage. If the media and the general population weren't so involved with Barbaro, the accident and his potential recovery...they would have put him down much sooner. It was a lost cause. I forget if I've already asked this...did you know Lost in the Fog? I was there when they put him down--but it wasn't my Vet. who did the dirty deed.

Oh wait, we've talked about Lost in the Fog before as well as his jockey, trainer and excercise rider.

Kevin, sweet sugary goodness. Good matches!

Yep, and he was a monster to go up against, but not a mean horse...just a bit mouthy. Anyway, carry on my wayward sun. Enough talk about horses (at least in this thread).

Good match of Kevin and Angelina.

Bob you are a genius mate, I actually laughed out loud, which is rare for me online, at Angelina having to play a few songs for me in a jazz bar...ace!

Ok Bob, you will have to interview us about halfway through and after wards, just to keep it on the up and up.

CONGRESS!

Oh crap, I thought the two dates was the congress and new orleans!....but I get to go camping with Mo too! Lucky me!....isn't she taken Bobby boy?...I think I have her with Blank....

Yep, she's taken. Oh well, she gets to go on two dates as well! Maybe I can kill her and take her second date. Or not.

I guess that leaves abby and myself? I'm down. Or up. Whichever you prefer abs.

Noir, mm? I didn't know he was your love, Kevin. Es tut mir leid. But anyway, works for me! I can interrogate him about his old avatar again, as we hike the hill-lands of Wales. "Lakeside activities..." Hmm. Well, you know, there -are- several varieties of watery activities that I've never attempted. Hope he knows that I look nothing like J. Lo. (Unless she turned into a pasty white Irish girl with no butt, and I just haven't heard of it yet.)

Actually, I believe she did. Am I the ony one to notice J. Lo fell off the face of the planet?

Wait...Bob. I'm your sister? Jesus, what else have my parents been hiding from me? I guess you got the shaft with that nose...they certainly don't run in my family!

And if I don't get a date, I may cry...Would you really want to see that? Darn, fine. I'll just sabotage other dates. You have been warned.

I can so imagine myself creeping out of the shadowy trees, in a bear costume...carrying off Kevin (or Mo) into the woods. Depending on who, I would either make sweet bear love to the victim, or eat them alive with my cow teeth.

Yeah Jane and Abby..now there is a dream combination I'd like the complete photo set of....

Ok...focus....right, your date is....a whiskey tour of Scotland and it's Canals. Yes, we've rented a top quality 5 star canal boat for you both, complete with food and...well whatever 2 girls would need for a week...you each take a turn a day being captain, and the other one has to be first mate..which means Captain rules...for alternate days...and you stop off in quaint little villages and towns and sample the local whiskeys, and whatever else takes your fancy.

happy sailing.

When I'm Captain, we're going to battle krakens and take a detour to Treasure Island.

Just a heads up...abby and I will probably end up kidnapping Kevin and holding him for ransom.

Me too Bob, me too.

Did I say krackens? I meant the Loch Ness monster! And since the trip really wouldn't be out of our way...we're going to pillage Ireland for barrels of Guiness!

Ok anyway, I guess I should shut up until the date begins.

You are no match for the mighty Beastie of the Loch!

So I'm thinking to spare the other site users, we should post the date threads in the "Other" forum.

You know what I didn't think about?...How I would actually write the dates...you know....first, third person, all that stuff...weird.

Right I'm off to start my date with the lovely and talented Angelina...I only hope she brings her friend from the profile pic!

I might be able to do this.

1. Describe a good romantic date.
Don't care about romance. I have no sense of it, and therefore, the atmosphere or surroundings don't come in to play.

2. What turns you on?
Something that is slightly more than your hair looks nice. Conversations about worthwhile subject matter.

3. Ideal man/woman?
Paz Vega's character in Spanglish. Between the looks and her character, she is the perfect woman.

I don't. I probably was still a twinkle in my Mother's eye. Hahaha, but seriously...P and Q royalty thread? Sounds interesting. Where do we start? (again).

And Bob, have you seen Kevin's latest post in his date with Angelina? Hahaha, it's so hard not to interrupt. So flippin' hilarious!

Kevin, I bet you spent an hour typing that up. You're taking this a bit too seriously, MATE.

I'm out. Peace brothers and sisters!

Jane, I wrote it in about 4 minutes, you know it's true....Hunter S Thomson had it, I have it....my little Geni'us.

Ho ho...I can't wait to see you and Abby tear each other up...it's going to be better than COps.

You DO spell my name right, dear. Too bad it's not my real name.

Maybe you should crash my date, to make sure I'm behaving. Noir and I might take a detour to Scotland... you and I could spend some time playing "Where's Nessie?" ~ ~ What do ya say?

1. Describe a good romantic date.

I always loved Candle light dinners I saw on TV..So I'd say I'd want to have a candlelight dinner at either a house or a resteraunt...it wouldn't make a difference...Then after getting to know each other over dinner and staring into each others eyes across the table, I'd want to go for a late night walk on the beach where theres about 2 more people who might be strolling by as well...I'd want to lay a blanket down on the sand and stare up at the stars listening to the waves hit the coast.....sounds great!

2. What turns you on?
A man who loves God, straight teeth, blue eyes, soft hands, and a great loud laugh!!

3. Ideal man/woman?
Goes to church, Isn't embarrassed to have me hang with his friends, wants to hold me no matter whose watching, makes funny jokes that only I'd laugh at , opens my car doors, and refers to me as beautiful and not Hot.....

Can I be paired up with Britt??...She makes me be a lesbo...don't ya Britt?......last night was great! hahaha

Bob - rumour had it that WHO was Kaitlin?

Kevin - you put me with BlankIllusion because he had long hair? Umm... thats not HIM in the picture you know? :) Ok ok... hot air ballooning - wicked. I love heights. I reckon we could adlib here BI - we can take it up to the highest point possible, put on our backpacks - jump out and sky dive down, land on galloping horses backs (bareback of course), ride to the closest bar, have a few drinks (you can try outdrink me, with a hilarious ending), have our horses stumble us home (well... we couldn't drinking without giving the horses something to drink...) have to dirt bike the rest of the way because the horses decided to go back to the bar for "one for the road" and you can end up sleeping on my lie lo in the pool. Dont drink the water. No... seriously... I've just cleaned it and I would hate for it to get dirty... :)

hahaha.

As for my second date with kevin - Jane why dont you come along? We could do all the stuff we like and drag Kevin along - we can even wear matching camo gear and make little wooden forts in the trees for our shelter. Our one sleeping bag will be taken by Kevin as Jane and I would have hunted already that day for our dinner, and used the hide to make warm clothes out of so we'll be fine. Damn... I LOVE THESE ARMY CLOTHES! :) haha.

If Jane comes too - Does that make me tarzan? Or would Kevin be Tarzan and I'd be the annoying monkey on the sidelines?

Sooo... anyone started their dates yet? (Psst... BI and Kevin - meet you in the OTHER room...)

Bring some condoms (we can fill them with random crap and throw them at other couples on their dates!)

Well Well...So I get to go on a date with Sibyellene...Hmm?

Sibyellene (Grabs her hand and holds her tight) let's go to both Ireland and Scotland...And let's find us the lochness Monster and the Leprecauns...

Please take off your purple hat before entering the room!

YAY - I HAVE A PURPLE HAT NOW TOO!? Wicked.

Ok Im off to go see if my date has arrived yet... he's tardy on the first date (gasp, shock, horror).

Abby - I seriously cant see why Neemo would be scared of you? :)
