Date Night Ideas

[Anonymous]

Restaurant in MoCo that are better than the Melting Pot:

- Persimmon in Bethesda

- Dish and Dram and Black Market Bistro in Kensington

We had a date night scheduled for last Saturday but our sitter got the flu and that was that. Except my husband bought a bottle of very expensive champagne- a surprise - and after the kids fell asleep we started a movie, opened the champagne and maybe watched 1/2 of the movie. Then we took the champagne to our room and finished the bottle. It was as good a date night as I could have hoped for.

Go to a bar and have your spouse pretend to pick you up.

You think that Melting Pot is the best dining option MoCo has to offer? You need to get out more.

Yet no one is recommending anything else, so. . . ?

LOL. I am the prior poster that suggested the Melting Pot and stand by my suggestion. It's fun!!! We have done everything in my list at least once (and many other things). We are the couple (and the family) that are always out and about trying new things/different things/traveling etc. Even my teens are always asking for suggestions for stuff to do with their friends and their date nights

It is hysterical that those choosing to "shame" the Melting Pot have no ideas....

McDonald’s would be a better idea. Then from there pick any other restaurant and it will probably be a good idea.

We did this last year when we were on vacation in the Caribbean. I sat at the bar in my best resort glam wear and my husband was planning to show up 15 minutes later and start the mating process. Within ten minutes another guy sits next to me and he starts the process and then my husband shows up and sits down on the other side of me. There was a bit alpha male action going on because my husband didn’t reveal who he was so I just played along until the other guy finally decided he was out and moved to the other side of the bar. About a half hour later we left the bar together to head to our room and walked right past the other guy who must have had a good idea where we were going. It was such a silly and stupid thing to do but it was a lot of fun.

Go to a farmers market and label the fruit.

*couple walks by a stand*
“Cauliflower”
“Hmmm”
*keeps walking*

Take a trip to Taco Bamba in Vienna.

Have the lady of the house go in first, alone, and sit at the bar. She should finish at least one of the margaritas that are discounted that night (not just good, but good for you!).

Then, the gentlemen of the house should enter. The lady can pretend to ignore him, but subtlety gaze his way ever now and then.

After they have given enough time for the tension to build, she walks over to where he is siting and she whispers "I want your burrito, now."

Then you head home.

Remember to take home some chips and quac for the babysitter and kids.

We’ve done this a couple of times and it really is fun and it’s important to take off your wedding rings first. I tend to be a pretty conservative dresser so the first time we did it I bought a very hot dress at the hotel shop that didn’t leave a lot to the imagination. My husband almost didn’t let me leave our hotel room he thought it looked so hot. He showed up at the bar a few minutes after I did and within 20-30 minutes I was whispering in his ear and running my hand up his thigh which definitely got his attention. After he settled down we headed back to our room and that dress hit the floor the second the door closed. It’s sometimes fun to not be yourself and get outside your safe zone as long as it’s with your spouse.

winery/brewery (especially if they have a special event going on or live music)

cooking class

paint night

active restaurant (Japanese Steak House, Melting Pot)

Did you really just suggest the Melting Pot? Really?

Why are so many people on this site such inauthentic snobs?? If the poster enjoys this, let them be. If readers would not, let them ignore.

It must be exhausting to feel like you are the appointed judge of other people's lives and adequacy.

Sur La Table has quality but pricey cooking classes, including ones that are labeled Date Nights.

And that MAY win the approval of the obnoxious PP. Since it is in French.

Any danger in going down the path of role-playing picking up a "new" person, for sexual excitement? Just wondering....

PP: in our case, not at all. We are very happy together so it was just a very fun date night.
