It’s no real secret that Spencer and I have had some problems recently. I think we’re finally on an even keel and part of the repair and reconnect is dating. Because I am me, though, there had to be a theme. We picked up on an alphabet dating game but we hadn’t gotten through enough of the “repair” part for the occasional date to be effective. We got all the way to F (sort of) before it petered out completely.
Things got off track quite a bit, but we’ve made a lot of real progress this year. The dating game is back on and I plan to keep a log of our ideas, themes and blog the resulting dates (mostly). The idea is for the alphabet theme to force us to come up with something more creative than dinner and a movie. The only rule is movies don’t count. It has to be something that allows us to connect, rather than sit side by side ignoring each other.
Most of this list is just an idea thrown out by one or the other of us. Items in italics are officially decided, with plans in the works. Anything in bold is a date we have actually been on, but I’ll add a link when I get around to blogging about the evening.
