      Dinner last night went rather well, but it's followup time. I have no idea what modern twenty-something year old ladies enjoy for entertainment. When I was that age they were into clubbing, surfing, smoking dope and strumming guitars; times have changed. I'm planning an escape from the heat for a barbeque in the mountains on Sunday, but I'm stumped for any other creative ideas beyond that. Suggestions, anyone...;) "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day... " - Jeffry J. Brickley

      Do what *you* think is fun. You can't guess what she'll like. As Graham said, if it's right, what you like and what she likes will mesh. Also, from my experience girls get turned on by focusing on having fun as opposed to focusing on impressing her. In other words, it's cause and effect.

        I think frog's idea is a good one. There's a Grand canyon train ride that's similar to it. That's up there by you, isn't it? Little to the east?

              Here in Idaho there is a very cool train that does dinner rides. You get on this baby for about 3 or 4 hours and you get dinner while you are on it. It's very cool and my wife loves the idea. It's about $70 a couple and it's a perfect 10 in terms of showing them a good time and also showing them you can be creative. The train here is done up really well and it's a perfect casual dining experience. Check into stuff like that. It's a lot of fun. Of course there's also cow tipping and ice blocking, spud gun wars and spitting contests but those are more unique to the Idaho region than anywhere else.:omg: - Rex

                    It wasn't my idea, but I'm not about to argue; a gentleman never argues with lady. I'll just go along for the adventure, and see what - if anything - comes of it. So far, though, I'm very impressed. At the very least, it can't hurt to cultivate a beautiful young friend to help me out of my rocking chair in the future.;) "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day...

                                  Maybe in Cornstalk, Iowa the idea of a 3 or 4 hour 'train ride to nowhere dinner excersion' is so exciting that you would take a 'twenty-something' there on a date. I realize your wife loves the idea but I would venture a guess that she is not 'twenty-something' and it must be considered that she lives in Iowa and probably has tipped a few in her time. If the 'twenty-something' comes from a the place where people outnumber the cows she may have more descriminating taste (pun intended). Life's a bitch ... then you marry one!!!!!!!

                                      If you have to ask this question she is too young for you. There is nothing that looks more foolish than an old man trying to impress a young girl. Be sure to comb your hair foward before across your forehead. Maybe she won't notice your receding hairline. Then again there has to be a reason sayings like "there's no fool like an old fool" are so trans-generational. Life's a bitch ... then you marry one!!!!!!!

                                        Dinner last night went rather well, but it's followup time. I have no idea what modern twenty-something year old ladies enjoy for entertainment. When I was that age they were into clubbing, surfing, smoking dope and strumming guitars; times have changed. I'm planning an escape from the heat for a barbeque in the mountains on Sunday, but I'm stumped for any other creative ideas beyond that. Suggestions, anyone...;) "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day... " - Jeffry J. Brickley

                                          Maybe in Cornstalk, Iowa the idea of a 3 or 4 hour 'train ride to nowhere dinner excersion' is so exciting that you would take a 'twenty-something' there on a date. I realize your wife loves the idea but I would venture a guess that she is not 'twenty-something' and it must be considered that she lives in Iowa and probably has tipped a few in her time. If the 'twenty-something' comes from a the place where people outnumber the cows she may have more descriminating taste (pun intended). Life's a bitch ... then you marry one!!!!!!!

                                          She's actually 29, a former olympic level gymnast in better shape than most tri-athletes and pretty with it. How she got stuck with me is a real debatable question but who really cares (except all those other guys still wondering). She's pretty amazing. She'll kick just about anyone's ass on a mountain bike and laugh as she drops you as she grinds away on her middle chain-ring and the only thing you can do is pray that God kill you because you don't have enough O2 to breathe. It's Idaho not Iowa. Why don't you google-image for the Sawtooth's and then tell me a little more about Idaho and how interesting it isn't? Considering that it's one of the hottest places in the nation and growing at enormous rates you might reconsider some of your comments. If that doesn't get you then google for Tamarack Resort in Idaho another kick-ass place. My wife has never tipped a thing and she's got a whole lot more class then you just "ventured" to guess. :cool: If I seem a bit short:rose:, you don't even have a clue what my wife and I have been through and she's anything but a bitch:(. I wince even reading that quote...{SIGH} I realize you are making light but ... it's my wife:->. If you knew what potential each day held for us you would understand.:omg: You don't so I cannot pile-drive you into oblivion for it but at first I was ready to. ;P It's not a train ride to nowhere either. It starts on a river known world around for it's class 3-5 rapids (Payette River) and it follows that river up some of the most beautiful mountains you'll see. It's relaxing as all hell and while some might consider it a snooze the majority thinks it's a great time. Trust me when I say that you just have to do it to even begin to understand. It very much depends on the temperment of the people involved. The food and scenery leave very little to be desired but it could be 4 uncomfortable hours if you are not good at conversation. But in my post I said, "something like" not actually intending he drive her here... not yet anyway. ;P

                                          I know you can't become if you only say what you would have done and you'll miss a million miles of fun." - Len Work hard, play hard. Don't forget who you are and don't forget where you're from. Do all these things well and you won't have to wonder where you are going.
