The Perfect Date

It's almost Valentine's Day! Of course here in the singles forum there aren't many of us who have special plans for Monday but that's okay! I was thinking, if you did have a special someone to spend it with, what would you like to do? What would your idea of a perfect date be? It doesn't have to be a Valentine date specifically.

I think a really fun and memorable date would be to go to one of those carnivals near the beach. I've never been to a carnival that's close to the beach but I know they exist because I've seen them on tv. . He and I would ride a bunch of rides together, get in one of those glass houses, share a funnel cake, and then walk around the carnival enjoying the breeze. He would play one of those carnival games and win me a stuffed toy. Of course the last ride we get on would be the ferris wheel, where we would share a kiss at the top of the ride. And then boom! fireworks on the sky to close the night.

Haha I feel like that sounds really cheesy but oh well I think it would be super fun! I look forward to reading what ya'll would want to do. Try not to think too realistically. Just describe what you think would be a fun date.

I was at the Jurassic Discovery Center... At Burger Digs, I think? I just happened to walk around the rotunda towards the back, and if you go out the doors and into the open-air seating, there is an amazing view of the park. Have you been to Mythos? I always hear it's good but have never tried it.

Want to know a secret?

I am deathly afraid of open heights. But for some reason, if you strap me into a huge metal or wooden coaster, it's all good. Actually, one of the things I love about coasters is that they simultaneously force me to face one of my biggest fears while at the same time, provide me with what I'm guessing will be the closest experience to flying I'll ever have this side of heaven.

Believe me, once that first drop comes and I'm staring straight down from the very top of the coaster, I'm thinking, "Good heavens, what have I done?!" But as soon as I make it through that first drop, my adventurous side kicks in and I have the need for speed!

I also always wonder if, by some chance, maybe when the operators test run the rides with "empty" trains... Could it be that maybe sometimes angels might get a day off, and are taking the chance to test out what must seem like elementary human contraptions?

Even as a kid, I wondered if maybe God allows angels a little free time now and then, and if they check out some of the ways we humans amuse ourselves.

I can just picture them saying, "Are you serious?! Humans get their kicks out of THIS?!! No wonder our Lord takes so much time and care in developing their character -- if they think this is all there is, they'd better start strapping themselves in now!"

I suppose I'm boring.
I wouldn't care what my fiancee and I did on Valentine's Day or any day...as long as we do it together.

Steaks and a nice glass of wine
Disparage the government

disparage the government?!

is that a favourite pasttime.

haha

Reminds me of a game everyone used to play when a kid. 'If I ruled the world'

You know, at this point, I just want someone who is real - literally and figuratively. Literally because online dating accounts (which I have no deleted) are mostly fakes and scams. Figuratively because it seems the only women I ever meet are self-centered, materialistic, non- or weak Christians, and unserious. Everything and everyone are fake and a real connection is a rarity.

That is the woman I want to go on a date with.

Yeah I hate all forms of human government. They are evil, unnecessary, and usually satanic.

Our day begins with DnD's Boston Creams and coffee.

While window shopping, we find a road atlas.

By noon we agree on a route to the grand canyon, the giant redwoods, the beaches of SoCal and all points in between

I might be wrong... or this may be the best advice you ever got.

Maybe the girls are thinking the same thing about you. Well, the same general concept... "He's so one dimensional. All he talks about is how evil governments are and how materialistic women are."

Human government is necessary. If they were not, God would not have told us to respect governing authorities. He would not have instituted judges and priests in Israel to govern the people.

In a state of nature, as the founders of the US put it, we are in danger of having our rights trampled upon. We surrender a little of these in exchange for the protection of the rest.

That they are imperfect and flawed institutions is just a reflection of this sinful order. Nothing can be done about that except prayer, involvement yourself, and being very knowledgeable as a citizen. Also -- be ready to fight if necessary.

Not a very convincing argument seeing as how human governments have murdered hundreds of millions of people. I’ll take my chances with anarchy.
