Disneyland Firsts

[disneygogetter]

I've been single for 3 years now and have gone on a number of dates since then. But recently I've been talking to this new guy for 2 weeks and we've gone on 2 dates and are talking everyday so things are going well.

Anyway I was planning on going to Disney in October for Halloween time, and it was originally going to be my dad and I going. But he suggested why not take this new guy instead.

So I was thinking of asking him to go with me, but had this idea in mind. If we do go to Disneyland this will be like our 4th or 5th date and will be a BIG deal too at least I think going to a theme park with a new guy is a big thing haha.

I wanted us to have our first kiss at Disnyeland and for us to become an official boyfriend/girlfriend couple also at Disneyland. Do you think this is a good idea?

I think this is a great idea if things are going well for you two so far! Disneyland is such a magical and happy place, and what a perfect spot to "seal the deal" and have a kiss/make it official Not to mention, Disneyland makes for the perfect memory backdrop. Spoken from personal experience - my parents met at Disneyland (back in the 70's when entrance to the park was free and they met dancing in Tomorrowland!) and my DH and I had our first date and first kiss there . So obviously my vote is yes LOL. Best of luck!

Yeah I thought it was a good idea.

Something to consider would be how you would feel if the relationship didn't make it. New relationships are always so full of hope, but if things go sour, I'd be afraid that I wouldn't feel so happy at the happiest place on earth because I'd be stuck in memories of our time there. But that's just me, and that's what happened for years after going with my ex to the river... We broke up, and my happy river place was suddenly a bad reminder of what went wrong it's all for the best, and I'm married to a wonderful man now, and Disneyland is one of our happy-together-places.

It's wonderful to have an idea of how you hope things will go, but you also don't want to set your expectations too high and walk away disappointed because things didn't work out according to plan. I think if you go with the expectation of just wanting to have fun while getting to know someone better than anything else that occurs will be sprinkles on the sundae!

Not to be a Debbie downer, but some things to consider:

1) I am assuming this is a day trip, yes? If it is an overnight or several night vacation I personally would hesitate after only two dates and knowing him afew weeks. Simply because you likely don't know each other's habits yet and spending 24 hours together might be a lot all at once

2) Will you be content if the date doesn't go as you've envisioned (becoming an official couple at Disney, kiss,) etc. ?

At the end of the day you know yourself and this guy better than anyone on the board, so go with your gut. Good luck with whatever you decide!

This is coming from a grandma, so forgive me if I sound old-fashioned.
Going to DL on a date is a great idea, but I would not push the kiss, boyfriend/girlfriend idea. If it happens, fine; but if not, that is OK too.

My daughter's ex proposed to her in DL and gave her a beautiful ring, only to break her heart later when she found him to be a liar and a fraud. It took a long time for her to enjoy DL again.

So my advice is to just have fun and enjoy the moment.

It looks like you are a local, Glendale. If that is the case, Disneyland is in your backyard.

Your friend must be a good guy, if your dad suggested you take the new guy instead.

Go to Disneyland, enjoy your time together. Don't force or push anything.

As the two of you progress in your relationship, I'm sure there will be other trips to Disneyland.

Have a fun time!!

I think it's an awful idea. In the past you've been upset because you have pictures at Disneyland with ex-boyfriends and wanted to know if you should "recreate" the pictures. If you take this guy and things don't go as planned, or even if they do, but it doesn't work out long term you're going to be second guessing your decision. If you go with your dad, you will never regret it or the pictures. You only have your dad for a limited period of time on earth. Take the guy who loves you no matter what. There is plenty of time when you find "THE" guy to go with them.

how old are you??

 

[disneygogetter]

I am 27 and this guy is 23.

How serious are you guys? If becoming an official couple is something you guys are both on the same page about and you both feel comfortable with this kind of trip, then yes! I absolutely think you should do it

I had my first kiss with my boyfriend at Disneyland, right before World of Color, and it was absolutely amazing. We had already been official before then, but that Disney trip was our first "real" trip together (although we had two friends along with us), and as I mentioned, the place of our first kiss. I wouldn't trade it for anything and I love to think of other couple's sharing in the same kind of magic.

It sounds like your dad must really like this guy to suggest you invite him instead, so if you have his blessing, coupled with how close you live, I say go for it!

Honestly, it's been 2 weeks and a couple dates. Don't plan for something almost a month away yet.

Don't set timetables for when you want to kiss or become official. Just because that is your timetable doesn't mean it is his. And at 24 I can't see him waiting another month to kiss you.

Take it one day and one date at a time, and let nature take its course.

This! Take it as it comes. Whenever I planned that stuff out it kinda blew up in my face.
