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?
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.
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.
