My idea of the perfect first date -
I appreciate the beauty of anticipation--those moments, hours, days leading up to an event. My idea of a perfect date starts with that beautiful anticipation, with the butterflies and excitement of being able to spend time with someone I like, someone I'm looking forward to getting to know. I would start thinking about what I'll wear long before the day of the date only adding to my enjoyment of anticipation.
As far as the perfect first date "activity" and/or "venue," that will depend on this man I'll be dating and what time of year it is. For instance, does he love sports and it's winter? Then the perfect date is probably a hockey game. Does he love leisurely walks in the evening and it's springtime? Then let's find a great restaurant along the water or near a park. I like all those things.
If money were no object and time could stand still, the most perfect date would be a night "on the town" in New York City--see a play, have dinner then a walk along Battery Park. I'd like to sit on a park bench, watching the sun dip down behind Lady Liberty while we talk, hold hands and fall in love.
Sometimes, though, the most simple are the most perfect. A quiet dinner for two after work where we sit side-by-side, holding hands, whispering to each other, learning to relax into each other's lives, finding those parts that are similar and cherishing the things that are different.
In the end the perfect date will always include the "perfect" man--he's not perfect to the world but for me...for me he IS perfect.
