That was the dumbest connection ever made. No, Kyle who plays video games 35 hours a week and takes you on a walk in the park like a dog isn't Mr. Darcy.

You wanna go old fashioned, rent me a MFing rowboat and read me a sonnet you composed for me while we float amongst the lilies (just not on the first date where I can get murdered out in the middle of a deserted pond). Other than that, nah son

I’d love to go on a walk after dinner. We can digest and maybe even go for hot chocolate or dessert or something after. I’m looking forward to it!

Wait, I thought were were supposed to be "progressive?" Why is she selling walk dates as something old fashioned? Old fashioned is supposed to be a bad thing, this is 2021!

These libfems don't make any sense.

Sure, we can go on a walk date just like in a Jane Austen novel, if....

he's gonna come express his intentions to my parents, propose to me at our third meeting and then spend a year writing to each other and getting to know each other chaste-ly over tea ;)

My father will carefully inquire as to his reputation, net worth, business dealings, real estate holdings, and cash income as well as his practical skills and educational pedigree. We will need to meet his family right away also, to make sure that they are of good character and breeding.

Oh, wait...

Somehow I think the scrotes intended that they will walk by their apartment and ask the girl to come up "since everything's closed and there's nothing else to do."

I really enjoy walk “dates” with my husband. We walk throughout the city and talk about anything and everything and stay out as late as possible. When the weather is nice, it becomes an almost nightly tradition, when it’s lousy out, we miss it. But they aren’t date dates, they aren’t days where we dress up and have a meal or another outing, because we like those just as much as our walks, but they are in fact more special, because they involve more effort.

I know a couple people who are pro walk date, one is because she used to be really heavy and is still self conscious about people watching her eat. Unfortunately, she has brought a yutz parade of boyfriends who treated her bad. Another says she likes them so she could bring her dog, so she has an excuse not to go home with them and if doggy hated the guy, she doesn’t call them, she’s now in a relationship. But both people have made that choice for different reasons, walk dates can be useful and a good buffer, for some, but they aren’t the same as planning a date, where you do something other than walking.

Unless its in the england countryside wearing a dapper suit its not romantic and if tea is involved i assume its a full high tea picnic than just a sTrOlL..still super risky tho

LOL a walk back then was a gesture of courtship and intent to marry, and a chance for the man to show the assets he could share with the woman. What assets is Kyle who’s looking for a fwb showing me on a pandemic walk where he doesn’t offer to pay for my Starbucks? Lmao byeeeee

I have a question? Are walk dates always a no? I ask because a friend of mine met her current partner on Hinge at the beginning of quarantine so there wasn’t much to do but they walked two days back to back around the city of hours talking and from what I’ve seen so far he is a good guy. He’s in med school, took her home to see his parents this past Christmas, and overall actually seems pretty solid. I’m wondering because I don’t think he’s LV but she was the one who asked him out. Aka two no nos for us but they seem good?

Just trying to reconcile FDS rules with how I’ve seen things play out.
