The challenge, though in taking on a series like this, is coming up with variety. There is only one picnic in the park or a date that ends with the couple dancing in the rain. Readers don't want to read the same experience with different people it suspends the escape the writer has created for reader and takes away from the overall experience. It's why the kisses must be different from one guy to the next or the touches and scents need to have different stimulating impact on characters.
So in the next installment in Rayne's Thunder (Part Four) The Mating Game six men are required to create six different dating experiences. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised with some of the interactions and delighted with the ideas the men came up with but I can already see I'm going to need new ideas for future installments so here is the question.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day.
Dream date? Honestly, at this point, I'll take any kind of night out with my husband WITHOUT the kids, lol. I'm easy. Dinner and a movie and I'm all set. We've gone to the strippers a few times, but they kind of suck here. I told him when we go to Texas next year for my grandma's 80th birthday, I want to stop by and eat at the place that has shirtless male waiters, lol.
ReplyDeleteMy dream date would be a walk on the beach with a picnic dinner in the sand
ReplyDeleteWonderful dinner and a beautiful sunset
ReplyDeleteMy dream date would be a stroll along one of the beaches of Hawaii. It's on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteA simple dinner at a quiet cafe. Then go to a play or live show. Come home, get naked, fool around then have a snack of cheese and a screwdriver it two.
ReplyDeleteA good date for me would be a picnic lunch, next to a soothing stream to relax and enjoy the time together after a nice trail ride on horse back to get there. No interruptions from society and just being there with my date.
ReplyDeleteA dream date for me would be a log cabin, snow and roaring fire.
ReplyDeleteI like simplicity - a cozy meal in any beautiful setting. Thanks.
ReplyDeletelog cabin in the mountains, candle lit dinner, dancing under the moonlight then sitting in an out door hot tub drinking a glass of wine and watching the stars.
ReplyDeleteMy dream date would be one where I am completely comfortable: with my date, the location, my clothes, etc. It would definitely be some place casual.
ReplyDeleteMy dream date would be on a boat, in the late afternoon.
ReplyDeleteA guy who actually listens and is interested in what I have to say
ReplyDeleteMy dream date would be any date that I did not have to plan out or a date at all would be something to dream about.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you about one of the most romantic dates I ever "went on." Yes there is a reason for the quotes. You see I never really went anywhere physically. Many years ago I played a MMORPG called Acheron's call. The game was highly social and at the time I needed the outlet. While playing the game I hooked up with a guy that was traveling internationally on a regular basis and the game was his form of R&R while he sat in his hotel room wherever he happened to be. As we got to know each other he started taking me on outings... sometimes it was to teach me how to level up and sometimes it was to complete a quest, but he was always protective and solicitous of my needs and my wishes. However the absolute best outing was when he helped me level up with the express purpose of unlocking an area of the game just so he could show me the waterfalls. The whole outing revolved around the romance of a date. There was no experience to be gained or quest to accomplish it was solely for the purpose of pleasing me with the wonder of the games graphics and sharing time together. You have to understand also that sometimes these outings took hours of time.
ReplyDeleteSo while this may seem a little out there for a romance premise I think about the reasons why a character might choose to meet and get to know each other in this manner. Does one travel all of the time? Is one homebound? Perhaps one of them has some disability or perceived deformity that makes them shy of meeting in person. There are so many possibilities and reasons for them to come together eventually.
I like ideas that are out of the normal with a few twists here and there when I'm reading a romance. So my mind goes to the possibilities something of this nature lends to the possibilities of a unique storyline.
