    Sounds wonderful!

    I disagree with Sondra. These types of dates are perfect for chatting and getting to know each other if your relationship is new, and not a lot of money is wasted if you find you're not right for each other. On the other hand, old married couples can find this kind of date a throwback to their early years and that is often VERY romantic! Good job Gayle. Oh, and your skiing in N. Caroline article was good but there was no comment section there! Funny, most people don't think of the south as a skiing mecca, nice job highlighting it.

    You would have lost me. Not a romantic evening do I see. Cheap would make me walk the other way. ;) Well written however but not very romantic. ;)
