Day 3
Day 3: Your idea of the perfect first date
I’ve always been a sucker for romantic dates. I can be a tough cookie, but trust me, there’s always that tiny tiny part in me that screams “I am mushy and I have my soft side too, for Pete’s sake!” Although I’ve been in a couple of [failed] relationships already, I still continue to yearn for that someone, who will literally knock me off my feet and make me gush everytime he does something sweet. Okay, that’s enough. I can hear myself say eeeww already.
I had a hard time thinking of what to post for this third challenge. You see, I’m not that much of a planner when it comes to dates or whatnot. I’ve long outgrown that part of my teenage years, which always wanted to do everything as planned. So for Day 3, I just compiled four photos that I think will make a perfect first date. It’s just the first date anyways. I can always demand for something bigger and costlier during the second, or third, or who knows, fourth dates. :p
A spontaneous out-of-town road trip can jumpstart this perfect first date. Actually, it doesn’t necessarily have to be out-of-town. A trip to Binondo (to eat mami and dimsum) or an Intramuros tour will suffice. After tiring our asses off from long, yet worthy walks, I’d like to have a sumptuous dinner somewhere. The dinner doesn’t need to be fancy, especially after sweating and inhaling the whole of Metro Manila. I can settle with the trusty fastfood joints. But of course, I would still secretly dream of indulging myself in foie gras, rib-eye steak, and mango juice (just coz I don’t drink wine) for this night. Being the movie addict that I am, I’d like to be treated to a movie date after the lovely dinner. I’d like to see how good his taste is when it comes to choosing movies. And then maybe a talk over coffee could be a good way to end the perfect night. A few good laughs and random jokes will never disappoint.
Aside from being pretty spontaneous, I’m just a cheapskate like that. There’s no need to shell out thousands of bucks just to give me my perfect first date. Well, it would be great to hear sweet music playing while eating or cleansing my palette with strawberry sorbet, but at the end of that perfect first date, what would matter is how we’ve introduced ourselves to each other and if it will be enough to make both of us hope for a second date.
