Ok so I know the town I live in is small. There are blue laws and that keeps you from doing most anything on Sundays and then there is the Wal-Mart contract. It rather makes me feel like there should be a bright light and chorus sound when I say that but back to what I was getting at.
I am a city girl. I was born and raised in northeast Philly for most my life, and then I moved to a small town in SC. now when I first moved here I was in utter shock at how far apart everything was. Not having septa to take me places, I was in a city girl outrage.
What really made me laugh was when people said, they actually take their dates to... dun dun dunnnnnn… WALMART! “Are you kidding me?” I said. they smiled and go what more could you ask for, its free, theirs a mccyD's inside, and a fun room with a few assorted videogames and air hockey table. Plus you can even pick up those things your moms been bugging you to pick up all week.
I don’t know about any of the other girls out there but the idea of going to Wal-Mart on a date makes me chuckle. I like creative dates and the unexpected occurrences but a date at Wal-Mart would not really impress me to much. I’m the type of girl that would prefer a night at home with a home cooked meal or some pizza than an outrageously priced dinner at a fancy restaurant - don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t turn that down but it not exactly my style. I do not think I expect too much but I do expect more then Wal-Mart…
The idea to me just seems a little funny. I mean am I being odd, would you ever actually take your date to Wal-Mart…?
I find it really funny. I live in a small town and have never heard of anyone going on a date to Wal Mart. Yes, sometimes if me and friends are bored will go to Wal Mart, but a date I don't think so.
I goto WalMart spontaneously, it's not like a planned thing. But that is a quite amusing story you have written. :P

Bringing someone to Wal-Mart on a date is a somewhat bad idea. You can't really use the words romantic and Wal-Mart in the same sentence after all.
I can certainly see the practicallity of it. However, I wouldn't care much for WalMart, but have gone with a date to Target, the mall, or Best Buy and had a lot of fun. (This wasn't the whole date, we were just waiting for the movie to start.) Think about it. It gives you a chance to compare common interests, like what books or music. And going through the toys gives you a chance to reminisce about childhood. I know you can do this on a more traditional date, but seeing a visual from automatically brings the topic up. Maybe it isn't romantic, but not all dates have to be. It's low pressure.
