My most perfect date to date (hehe) was an afternoon I spent with a former lover. We met for lunch when I was in his city. He'd just come from a work meeting, so he was in a suit and tie. I knew he was just coming from a meeting, so I decided to wear a dress and heels. (black and white polka-dotted dress with red patent leather belt and red patent leather peep-toe pumps, to be exact) We had drinks with lunch, and decided to go have a cocktail at a nearby bar. One drink turned into several as we sat at the bar and shot the shit for the entire afternoon. I don't know if it was the luxurious feeling of getting pretty drunk on a Friday afternoon or the romance of the city or the chemistry between us, but it was one of the best afternoons of my life.
My ideal date would have a lot of the same qualities--the kind of date where time slips away and it ends up lasting much longer than you originally anticipated. I would definitely laugh as much as I did that day. I would look as beautiful as I felt that day. And I would definitely have the same butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling I had. Perhaps there would be less booze, and I'd definitely be able to book a second date....but a lot of the same elements would be in place.
