The Perfect Date?


What is your idea of a perfect date?


Dates, Dates, Dates!

Dates - the start of friendships, relationships and sometimes even love. But what makes a good date? What makes a perfect date? Is there even such a thing as a perfect date? In this article I interview 2 men, 1 woman and I also answer the questions myself to see how different peoples idea of a ‘perfect date’ really is and just how differently men and woman think when it comes to romance.

 The Men
Name: Joe
Age: 21
Interests: Rugby, Socialising and Music
Name: Lee
Age: 21
Interests: Football, PlayStation
 ,Technology.


Where will the date be/ what venue and why?

Joe:   Reasonably classy, that we could have a meal, but not too expensive. I would not want to seem like I’m trying to show off. However I would need to be nice enough to give off a good impression, and have a good atmosphere so the conversation can flow easily.

Lee:  Going for meal first somewhere not overcrowded which serves food we both enjoy which is neither too cheap nor expensive before going cinema. I don’t want to give off the impression that I’m trying too hard and not being myself. 


Who will pay and why?

Joe:  I would pay, however I would not like the girl to expect me to pay. I would pay because I would want to treat the girl as it was a date.

Lee:  I would pay, however if they wanted to split the bill between the two of us then I would happily oblige. I would like to pay as I want to treat the girl but if she prefers to split the bill then we shall do that.


 What will be the topic of conversation and why?

 Joe: I would not set a topic of conversation, would just get to know them better and try and make it relaxed so we could both feel comfortable and enjoy the date.

Lee:  I would maybe start with just getting to know her slowly and let her ask any questions she wanted to. I don’t want any fixed topic as I don’t want anything to seem awkward but instead for the conversation to keep flowing.

What would be the best thing that your date could do/say during the date?

Joe: Just enjoy the night and smile a lot. Making a girl laugh would be important to me but if they were able to open up in a more serious way it would be amazing as well.

Lee: Would like to see that she is smiling and laughing in my company and that she is enjoying the time out with me.

 What will be the end result/ what will happen at the end of the date?

 Joe: Drive the girl home, walk her to the door and say goodbye with either a hug or a kiss on the cheek. If was more of a kiss it would be good, however I would not be overly bothered.

Lee: Would walk her home and say that I hoped she enjoyed herself and if she wanted to maybe do something again sometime soon before saying goodbye, give her a kiss on the cheek or a hug. If it was more than a kiss on the cheek I wouldn’t be too bothered but would still be happy.

When asked ‘what is your idea of the perfect date?’ most people instantly answer with a venue or a place…do you agree that this is the key to the ideal date and why?

Joe-Lee:  Not at all, being with the right girl is much more important than where you go. Can still have a great time regardless of the location or how much you spend.


The Women

Name : Catherine
Age: 21
Interests: Socialising , Football and Arts/Crafts



Where will the date be/ what venue and why?
Catherine: A sociable restaurant or bar, where we can get to know each other, have good conversation and enjoy some good food.



2) Who will pay and why?

Catherine: I will offer to split the bill. I do not like men paying for me, and believe it’s fair to split the bill.

3) What will be the topic of conversation and why?

Catherine: Anywhere that the conversation leads, as long as it flows. I would like to talk about our interests and see how much we have in common.


What would be the best thing that your date could do/say during the date?

They would have to have a sense of humour and probably make me smile. If they can make me smile and make me laugh then I will have a good date.

What will be the end result/ what will happen at the end of the date?

Catherine: I would say goodbye to him with a hug or kiss if the date went well and we would arrange a second date.


When asked ‘what is your idea of the perfect date?’ most people instantly answer with a venue or a place…do you agree that this is the key to the ideal date and why?

Catherine: Definitely not, I believe that it is a combination of common interests, a spark and good conversation. It doesn’t matter if we are on a beach or in a bar, as long as we can communicate well it would be a good date for me.
