Hello DTube and Steemians!

It's Friday, that means date night! Next up is Creative Date #41 Fondue Party, from my book entitled 101 Creative Dates: ideas, tips, and personal experiences from the life of a hopeless romantic. I love creative dates. It is fun to come up with a new idea or put a twist on a classic idea and take a girl out and have fun. I had all kinds of ideas and personal experiences with dating, so I made a book about it and recently published in on Amazon. I decided to post each chapter of my book for free here on Steemit, but if you would like to buy the book you can find the link at the bottom. Don't let "Netflix and Chill" be the default for your dates! Married, dating someone, single, there is something for everyone!

Fondue Party

Another food date, which is great for a group setting, is a Fondue party. Fondue is basically a type of dip in which you dip fruit, meat, vegetables, or crackers in. Depending on the food you use, it can be very delicious.
An example is chocolate fondue with strawberries and other fruits. Who doesn’t like taking a giant ripe strawberry and dipping it into silky smooth warm chocolate? Heaven on earth, I tell you. This date allows for very good conversation, a place to tell stories, reminisce, or just relax and eat good food. After eating, do something fun: board games, add-on storytelling, etc.

What you need for this date:

You need the recipe and all the ingredients, which is pretty simple. Basically, you get some chocolate candy wafers and melt them until smooth. If you happen to have a chocolate fountain or know someone who has one, that is a bonus—those things are awesome. You also need the food that will be dipped in the fondue, like different kinds of fruit, for example. Step it up a notch by decorating the table with a nice tablecloth, good china, centerpiece, candles, etc.

My experience with this date:

Several years ago for dinner one summer evening, my sister in-law made fondue for all of us. My friend was over as well, but she was just a friend. Yes, it’s perfectly okay to have a date with a friend without any further expectations of having another date; just two good friends getting together for an enjoyable time.

The food was scrumptious. We had a milk chocolate fondue, as well as a marshmallow cream fondue and cheese fondue. We had a variety of fruits that we dipped in the chocolate and marshmallow, and then a spread of crackers and meats that we dipped in the cheese. The conversation flowed as we chatted about various things from movies to sports, and even told some stories from the past. The evening was an excellent one.
