Title says it all. Relive a little history and tell us all a story about the perfect day/evening with someone that you were just absolutely smitten with. Doesn't matter if it went any further than one date ... doesn't even have to be romantic; could be funny, drama-esque (if you're favorite thing is drama), sad .... you name it.

I'll start:

It was late October some years ago and it wasn't even a date that I initiated. Someone actually asked me out! I had admittedly admired this person from afar for some time but could never get that lump out of my throat long enough to express it.

I should have expected an interesting evening when she showed up at my door with flowers for me. As it was, we were both burnt out on the club scene, a bit light on cash and neither of us could decide exactly what it was we wanted to do. So we ended up driving around for an hour or so and ended up at a little park out in the country. We sat on the hood my car, watched the sunset and just talked. After the sun was gone ... we horsed around on the playground like a couple of school kids. As it got darker, we sat on the swingset and just kept talking. I remember how clean the air was .. crisp and cool. It had rained earlier in the day so the smell of rain still lingered. Anyway ... there we sat ... talking and swinging. Well, we eventually lulled into a period of silence (studies at the Berkley say there is a lull in conversation every 20 minutes :P ). After some time, not sure now long .... I began to think things were getting a bit uncomfortable and that I should say something ... but didn't know exactly what. Right at that moment she reached over .. in the dark ... and took hold of my hand. We sat there for ... I don't know ... another hour or so in total silence. I think I fell in love with her that night.

That was my best date ... first, last or middle in fact.

Man .. insomnia does crazy things to my thought patterns.

Your turn.
