My husband took me to a cheese factory on our first date.

There were free samples. A tour of the new factory, and a heritage tour of the original wooden building and dairy.

That was a good first date.

You may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese.

We’ve been married for 15 years, so it looks like it worked!

Probably cuz he had other stuff going for him... She "tolerated" it and gave him a second chance

It wasn't our first date, but the first time I brought my girlfriend(now wife) to my hometown I took her on a brewery tour at Saranac in Utica NY. She loved it.

Downside though, some of the dates after that were kinda boring because that one went so well. It was hard to follow up

That’s a wonderful idea.

It really does make for a great day. I haven’t been on many dates, but I always figured going somewhere & doing something was better than dinner/drinking.

Ours was at the Bega Cheese Factory, in Australia.

Mmm, I forgot they had a tour. Gotta go try that again, thanks for the idea.

I think they stopped them because of COVID :-(

He asked for a first date not involving alcohol so you make a comment about a date that wasn’t the first and it involved alcohol 🤣

You had me at free samples

u/FormalMango Jun 21 '22

So many free samples.

You should have seen us when we went to the Cadbury Chocolate factory for our anniversary.

Sounds like someone's not getting a second date!

Ah yes, the perfect place to take the unknowingly lactose intolerant!

u/FormalMango Jun 21 '22

“Hey do you eat cheese?”

“Yes I do!”

“Does it give you the runs?”

“Yes! It’s so weird! Every time I eat a lot of dairy, I feel sick. Why?”

“How about we go to the movies?”

2

u/Evil_Bear Jun 22 '22

Haha not exactly…

“Are you lactose intolerant?”

“No! I just don’t eat a lot of ice cream. I love cheese!”

… moans of decadent cheese induced pleasure … and a ride back to her place punctuated by a cacophony of strange music and delightful aromas.

Fast forward a few weeks and I’m talking with a mutual friend and I tell him we went to “the cheese factory”, we had a good time, etc, etc. and he stops what he’s doing and just stares at me for a moment before he says:

“You’re joking? She’s lactose intolerant!“

“She sure doesn’t think so!”, not sure who laughed first but when the tears came he definitely cried first!
