Perfect date

by Charlotte Kymberley

Isn't it lovely when you go on a perfect date, and you feel completely familiar with each other, and they don't mind when you refuse to share the popcorn and walk at your own pace? Char goes on the perfect date. You can, too.

I went on the most amazing date last night.

It all happened quite randomly. I'd been to a job interview that wasn't right for me so I was feeling frustrated. My date suggested we go to the cinema together, and you know what, I haven't seen a movie in a very long time. So I accepted the offer, if I could have sweeties.

We walked to Tesco's and got sweeties to put in my bag for the film, then we went and got our tickets. Strolling casually towards the cinema, I took a call from a girlfriend of mine and we gossiped about men. My date didn't seem to mind, good stuff. Obviously not the jealous type.

My date lit up a Marlborough menthol light and we shared. We didn't have to talk; it was one of those dates where the silence was golden. We sat together outside getting some fresh air whilst I gossiped, my date waited patiently and we then made our way to the film.

I ordered a giant tub of Nachos topped with Cheese which I shared with my date. We sat down to watch the trailers, and I felt a real sense of fulfillment. I felt really happy... For no apparent reason other than the nice atmosphere and good company. Even the sickeningly over the top couples with their excessive PDA's didn't phase me.

My date didn't raise an eye brow when I leapt out to get some popcorn. despite having stuffed an entire confectionary store into my belly. We watched the film and giggled in the right places - I even shed a tear. It was such a cool film, so sweet and I am officially in love with Kate Hudson. The rest of the country can salivate over Cheryl Cole but they've missed a trick with gorgeous Kate. Ja'dore Kate and her haircut / wardrobe.

Towards the end of the film, we huddled under my coat as it was cold and shivery, and then we got up and made our way towards Angel tube. No pushing or pulling, just meandering along with another cigarette whilst I sent a few texts to my friends telling them I'd been on a date and it had been amazing and super fun!

I'd definitely be recommending it. Back at home, I texted Emily, 'I just went on a date, and I had a great time.' She promptly texted back, 'That's great! Where did you meet him?' and I said 'It was a date....with myself :)'

She replied: 'Aw, bless you. You chose the best person to go on your date with.'

And we're going to live happily ever after.
