This usually doesn&#039;t work so well as a first date, but it&#039;s great if you already have a relationship where you can practice give and take.  Plus it&#039;s ten times better when you can have a good conversation too.  After dinner I like to go for a walk in the park.  Come home to some homemade dessert and it&#039;s a great night.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My favorite date is making dinner together.

I have been following the Art of Manliness for some time now, and have been most impressed. For those who live in the Southern states, there are many charming small towns of historic significance. Being from South Carolina, Abbeville comes to mind. With buildings dating back to the war, charm of this small town makes for the perfect romantic getaway. Many towns like this are scattered throughout the south, I would encourage any couple within driving distance to pick a weekend (perhaps next weekend), and visit one of these towns.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This was a great post, as usual.
