I think the best way to get to know a man is to see how he is around my dogs. I think how someone treats animals and acts around animals says a lot. I think a nice and casual way to first meet is at the dog park. That way while we can talk, I can see how you interact with my dogs as well.

Lets be zoo keepers for the day, they always say to see how a man will treat you see how he is with pets and his mother... And since its way too early to meet family... I'll settle for pets!!! Plus who doesn't want to look after some monkeys?!?

I would like to take you on a walk on our first date, because this is something I like to do! After the walk, wine and dine, bacause I love my wine!

Walk on the beach, have a cup of coffee - someplace we can meet, talk, hear each other and see if we have a good first impression about one another.

We'd meet at Seahouses and catch the 9:30am boat on the all day bird watch, I'd have forgotten my wolly hat but you'd have a spare for me to borrow and I'd offer you a binliner to sit on in return because the seats get really wet from all the spray. We'd wander around the nesting puffins and you'd take some super awesome photos while I sketched a porpoise that was swimming off the coast. Then we'd share a cup of tea from the flask I'd brought along and if you boked up from seasickness I'd thoughtfully hold you hair back so it didn't get all messy. That wouldn't be likely though because you have excellent sealegs. It would be an incredibly hot, heat-wave kindof day so we'd swim about with a few seals and then return to the mainland for couple of pints and a hearty evening.
