Ideal Date Through A Crossword Puzzle

"I want him tall, funny, handsome and smart. Need I say more?"

Sometimes a description of a perfect match doesn't need to be too specific at all to catch someone's interest. Millions of people around the world are constantly being matched up to what they think will be their perfect match. Most of the time, the ideal person is beautiful on paper or even in person, but not inside. Which in my csse, I believe finding the perfect guy falls directly into finding the perfect date. I have dated many that fit my "type" however after one date, I realized that in fact, he wasn't my type at all or he wasn't funny like my friend had explained.

My perfect date doesn't have to cost very much, in fact, I noticed the more showy the date or over the top the worse it is. I like someone who is nice, considerate, but most importantly, funny. He has to make me laugh, case closed. A perfect conversation could last for hours, and that is more memorable than a day filled with too much "stuff".

Accepting a date is telling the other person,

"Yes, I would like to use some of my free time on you because well, I like you." In the reality of this situation, the activities of the date itself don't matter as much as the interaction between these two people. However, engaging in activities that are liked by both people make conversation and attraction easier.

I love to drink coffee in foggy weather of a beautiful Saturday morning. I like to do crosswords, eat exotic foods and look at the dolphins in the ocean. It is very fantastical in a way, yes, but not an impossible way to spend a date.

I want an all day ideal date. This is of course; I can last all day, which means I have to like him. He would pick me up in the early morning to take me to breakfast by the beach. Any later than eight o'clock a.m., and the dolphins become selfish and disappear into the ripples of the ocean. The sun would have no chance of facing us with its full potential. This is to keep me at precisely the perfect temperature all day. If I am not able to wear my ideal fall outfit throughout the date, well then, this wouldn't be an ideal date. Here we would talk about what makes us tick, what gets us up in the morning, and what our dreams are. These are important; I can get quite philosophical at times so I need someone to keep up.

From here we can do other things of his interest only because a great relationship takes compromise. Sometime during the day though, I expect coffee and a nice crossword puzzle. I can get lost in those puzzles, and in using our brains and humor together, we would have made a connection right there.

Even though there isn't a price to be put on the attraction or connection in two people (though sometimes I wish it were that easy), to put the date under twenty-five dollars could be tricky. Breakfast would cost the most, but a shared crossword puzzle, two cups of coffee and an adventure through the park, well that's just priceless.
