I have gone on lots of dates with my husband and sincerely I can't categorically state which one of them was perfect, they were all really good but not perfect. I give my husband 80% for effort, the missing 20% is all on me because of the silly issues that can arise before or during the date.
On our last date, for instance, I was so obsessed with looking perfect for the date that I took days to get a dress ready for the date, and at the last minute I change into something else and ended up regretting it because I had a wardrobe malfunction during the lunch. I hated myself for not sticking with the other outfits planned and the whole issue kind of disoriented my whole day and make the date less perfect.
That's just a typical example of how petty I can be when it comes to dates, but thank Goodness for my partner who is patient enough with me to still make the date as lovely as possible and get my mind off the issue at hand.
Don't mind me I can be very erratic like that, but I am working on it.
But I noticed our flaws and have an idea of what a perfect date would look like for us and this is how it would go.
It is a good evening and we dropped our son over at his grandma’s place like we always do when we want to have alone time but this time hubby has something planned (I suspect)and I have no idea what it is.I love surprises
I seat in the living room, and he comes to me casually dressed with two boxes and requests I we are spending the night out, I am about to say I haven't packed and he tells me he packed for me and go ahead to give me a list of everything in my box and it is exactly all I need.
I request to change and he insist he got me something to wear, I want to see it but he insist that it is a surprise.
We get in a car and we drive for a long time till we arrived at a beach house, we go inside and to the bed, I find a beautiful rope and he says that my outfit for our date, I smile because I already have dirty thoughts because he insists I take my bath and change into it.
After my bath I see a note on the bed, that reads
“Get your minds off the gutter and Join me in the balcony”
I laugh and rush to him, see him gazing at the stars, I look around and see fruits, food, wine, games, snacks well places beside him and a space for me. I quickly join him and we both gaze at the star and we see a shooting star and we jokingly made a wish.

I am still in shock, at how he can pull these off without me knowing about his plans and he replies if I had known I would overthink about it and ruin the date somehow which is very true
We smile, talk about our dreams, fears, future, eat our meal, play games, laugh all night and just enjoy each other company. The silence was divine, the sound of our voice and laughs were like music to the soul.
By morning, we wake up before the sunrise, take a walk on the beach to watch the sun rise ,with our hands locked, taking in all the positivity and the fresh Air the sea breeze brings.
Go in for breakfast and just reminisce on the wonderful night we had before we check out and go back home
This is how I have pictured my perfect date as I daydream, I am a sucker for love, a hopeless romantic when I want to be.
In summary
my perfect date would have to be spontaneous, unplanned because the moment I get a whim of the date, I could over plan and ruin everything together and A personal time with my partner would pass as the perfect date for me.
