Dating: Summer in the city
It may feel like Phoenix outside, but this is Atlanta – a place that offers many options in date destinations. We talked earlier this week about having solid date plans for date night and we are fortunate to take advantage of all Atlanta has to offer! We have activities and locations that are ideal for night dates, daytime dates, lazy dates, adventurous dates…you get the idea.
Our good friends at HowAboutWe.com revealed that Atlanta daters have particular locations that we like to frequent on dates:
Top 10 Summer Date Spots:
1. Piedmont Park
2. High Museum of Art
3. The Tabernacle
4. Museum of Design Atlanta
5. Turner Field
6. Atlantic Station
7. SweetWater Brewing Company
8. Georgia Aquarium
9. Atlanta Symphony Hall
10. Fontaine’s Oyster House
I have only been to 1,2, 3 and 4 on a date. All really fun and memorable outings, and I plan to get to the remaining soon! The destinations helped, but I suspect that I was deeply distracted by my date. When you ask out the right people, your date destination becomes the cherry on top of the already iced cake, am I right??
There were also a few other notable facts about dating in Atlanta during the summer:
The dating site also uncovered the following in their research of Atlanta’s Summer Dating Trends:
-Atlanta singles love going to sporting events when summer time rolls around. Specifically, heading to a Braves game. Atlanta’s sport of choice, with 1 in 4 dates in the “play” category involving Turner Field.
-Another way Atlanta singles get their hearts pumping? Hiking. Hiking dates are suggested 2x more often during the summer.
-Volunteering date ideas are suggested 10% more often in Atlanta during the summer.
-Looking for something a little more unique? Hot air balloon dates also trended throughout June.
-Dates involving Brazilian cuisine are suggested 26% more often during the summer, a departure from winter’s favorite: French fare.
I have done the volunteering date idea and I was pleasantly surprised at my date’s willingness to go and not complain. I think you can tell a lot about a person when you observe them helping others.
Do you change your dating habits in the summer? Do you go to different places and do different things?

When Swiss is calling people Gay like its an insult? People can live how they want to live, no judgements, but shouldn’t be derogatory. This is the only name I’ve ever used. Been since last year since I’ve been on this so don’t get me mixed up with some other fool

@Leggs: I love the Power Puff Girls!
@disco: That’s what he gets for thinking. My Twink is a lot of things, but a gazelle? Nuh uh. Guess he found that out when she hopped on top of his Land Rover and knocked him the funk out.

Atl Guy – Naw buddy don’t try to back pedal. You plainly said leave stuff in the past. There is only ONE PERSON that I’ve dealt with in that capacity (no sex or anyting) offline. You’re a liar and a psychopath.

I’ll just say this…ATL GUY….when you decide to pop back on under the name folks know you by, Imma be looking at the freak of a person you are cause you’ll be skinning and grinning like nothing. When behind the screen you got nothing but insults and remarks. I’M the bigger person cause I still ain’t said yet who you are. If you wanna have an all out brawl and THINK I’m not capable of holding my own…GO FOR IT.

ATL Guy — You know what? You’re right, the “ATL Gay” remark was in poor form on my part. But the fact remains that you clearly came in here insulting everyone and trying to act as if you’re somehow better than others on this blog. The bottom line is this is a place where folks come for a light-hearted diversion from work. Nothing more, nothing less. So if your high-brow sensibilities are offended by the baseness of this blog, pretty please, with sugar on top, just f__k off.

Nice Swiss – saying that was poor form for insulting people’s lifestyle then follow that with telling someone to f*ck off. Classy, keep up that form

swiss – your stepping in reminded me of a fight I was in back in high school. in short we were having a house party and some guys who weren’t invited attempted to crash. there was a group of us cousins at the door barring their entry. meanwhile another cousin went in the kitchen and came back with a glass pitcher which she promptly swung and hit one of the guys in the head with. that was the pivotal moment. we were off the porch and on the sidewalk and it was on. now, in case I’m not clear. we (the cousins) were all female and we were fighting a group of guys. my brother and male cousins were there but us chicks were handling business. one of my cousins said “these girls got this”. we beat the crap out of those dudes. anyway, I typed the story to say, thanks for stepping in but “we girls got this”. lol.

Why are you all so angry? I’m not bashing anyone, but you all are just hostile. I get this is your ‘clique’ and you may be protective or whatever. Its not that big of a deal

Just a random thought…..

It’s not that it’s a clique. It’s a blog and we’ve been blogging with each other for years. Only natural to defend one being attacked or degraded (even if they can defend themselves). A lot of crap is said here by different people who seem to stop by every now and then. Everyone wants to throw stones then act like it wasn’t them.
Hell, if you have something to say, stop beating around the bush and say it. Innuendos flying high and low. If you’re man or woman enough, stand for what you know and say it in plain English. We all know how to throw up the dukes….

Leggs – Totally Agree. My first comment on here was “date locations for the weekend?” as it went with the article. Then said early I’m not trying to start anything and said Celisea was alright. She’s getting all wound up for no reason. Clear the air, I’m not starting any battles here so everyone take a breath and relax

Slim – I’m ticked. Nobody will EVER intimidate me. Somebody got me mixed up. And if I wanted to f@ck somebody on here…that would be my business, my perogative, my feel good, my puddy…to do whatever the hells I want. Either way, hoping on her tombout destroying somebody..please If you didn’t get no ass, you ain’t got sh!t. And if you did…you ain’t got sh!t

Sounds like you have every right to be pissed, Celisea. Even in cyberspace we have to protect our character.
Loves this line “my perogative, my feel good, my puddy…to do whatever the hells I want.” Spoken like a true woman (lol).

By the way, this is the only name I ever had, so I don’t know who you all think I am or was, but that person must have done some wild stuff cause she is wound up. Accept the fact this is the only screenname I ever had so maybe thats why I don’t understand why you all are so mad

Leggs – And that’s where this idiot is so wrong. Only the weak gets intimidated when things start getting hot. Everybody on here is f@cking….WHOOP DEE DOO… Telling that (but us but I’m just saying) is news to who? It’s only news if you ain’t getting it (sorry disco…lol)
Folks grown and do whatever the hell they want. What the hell do I care about some f@cker hiding behind the screen and no doubt watching all my words daily? Damn fixated and made cause he didn’t hit…I guess like he thought.
