Any other Daddy's take their daughters on dates?

My daughter is 7 years old and I like to take her on dates whenever we can find the time. It's not nearly often enough but we both love it whenever we do:) Sometimes she picks the place and what we will do and sometimes I do. Sometimes we both get a little dressed up but I always open all the doors for her, hold her hand, and treat her like a queen:) When we get to where we are going we sit down and I ask her why we are here, she answers because you love me:) I say that's right! Until you find a man that treats you better than me..........it will always be you and me.

Are there any other Daddy's that do similar things with their daughters? What about Mommy's taking their boys on dates? I would love to here any new ideas that I can use with my kids.

That is the sweetest thing ever.

my husband takes your daughter on daddy daughter nights.... she is 15months old but its important to both of us that he gets to spend time with her just him and her so she knows she can go to him as much as me....

she is our only child and im a stay at home mom so she sees me a lot lol

My husband does this with our girls. He only does it once a yr with each of them alone we have 5 girls but it is such a special father/daughter time

Not nearly enough, but yes.

When I was a little girl my dad starting taking me on daddy-daughter dates. I was the only one of 3 daughters who wasn't "too cool" to be seen out with my dad. We did coffee shops, book stores, cultural day trips. My best memories were our international food dates. We'd pick a different ethnicity of food each time and eat out.
I'm 31 now and still look back on those as some of my best memories...and I still have an amazing, close relationship with my father!

I'm glad I read the whole post, because I was thinking that you didn't get many 2nd dates if you bring your daughter, lol.

That sounds nice, but I think "date" is the wrong word in our culture. I think of dates as something that involves romance. Quality time, father-daughter time, outings etc. would prevent any confusion.

I think I love this post!

My dad has been gone for over 20 years but I still remember how I used to feel when he'd take me with him to a Hartford Whalers game. The whole ride from MA to CT he'd tell me all about the players I was going to get to see that night. What I remember the most was how he introduced me to his hockey friends...like I was somebody special.

I have two children born nearly 10 years apart from 2 marriages. I have made concious efforts to have a date night with my children (separately) from time to time. Their needs are different. And they deserve my attention without the distraction of their siblings sometimes. And the rewards, so far, are outstanding. My son is 23 years old this month. He holds doors open for women. He shows up at his grandmother's house and mows the grass just because it needs to be done. He doesn't get paid (except for the occasional tuna fish sandwish she makes for him). He treats the girls he dates well. And sometimes they don't treat him nice. They don't seem to know what to do with a guy that doesn't treat them like crap. My daughter is 13, her dad is not in the picture anymore, and I take her on dates. We go to the movies or get a mani-pedi. Sometimes I chose and sometimes she chooses. And when my kids are out with their aunts and uncles I'm told later that I have terrific and thoughful kids.

My mom and i go on dates!
my dad used to take me out, but he got remarried and i suddenly quit being the important one. oh well, ive got good memories of it!

We always went roller skating or to the arcade

I take my daughter to the movies and dinner every chance i get. She gets to pick the movies and food. My little princes is 6.

We simply just call it father/daughter quality time. No dressing up or anything fancy. We will rent a movie, go see a movie, dinner, and of course it is the BEST excuse to go out for ICE CREAM!!!!
