Going on A Date in Second Life

Category: Metaverse and Virtual Worlds

I’ve been teleporting throughout the various islands of SL, and I have been looking for a romantic island to take a special someone out on a date. So far, I have been very disappointed. Most of the “romantic” islands that I have found turn out to be tacky, virtual, soft-porn orgies. I am looking for a quiet peaceful island where my date and I can get a bite to eat in an upscale restaurant, and then go take a walk on the beach, be out in nature, or chill in some sort of karma inducing location where my date and I can cuddle. I want detail to be put in this island, and don’t mind spend a couple hundred lindens. I did a little research online through sltree.com. This pointed me to a couple of romantic getaways. Midnight Reflection, Aphrodite’s Waterfall & Caverns, and The Lost Gardens of Apollo all caught my eye. When I searched the three of these in SL, I found out that they were all credible places that didn’t allow mature content. The Lost Gardens of Apollo was overcrowded, and I couldn’t teleport to the island. The other two seemed to be very nice places to go on a date. I think that I have a better idea now of where I want to go.

    Well I still hate SecondLife, but it’s nice to see someone found something to do. Technology is used in a lot of sick and perverted ways when it comes to love, romance, sex, etc. It’s nice to see you found something decent. Although, not to sound cyincal, but wouldn’t a real date be easier and probably more fun? Hopefully, this is not where dating is going. That would be a sad day.

    Haha, well, I don’t know if it is possible for people to go on a realistic Second Life date. Because Second Life offers so many more possibilities than there are in real life, SL users would not go on a “normal” date. Plus, who is nerdy enough to take a girl out on Second Life???

    Focus on the Plus - you have a girl that would still date you after a virtual excursion. Hats off! My girl’s great, but she laughs at me with this virtual reality thing..
