My perfect date wouldn't be formal, or super romantic, and to others it would probably just look like two friends hanging out for the most part. 1
I'm sure we would go out for lunch or supper, talk, and people around us wouldn't even notice that we smile at each other at odd times.2
We'd go somewhere outdoors, like hiking, or even an amusement park. I'd probably beat him at all the skill games, and chances are he'd talk me into going onto some terrifying roller coaster (they're All terrifying to me, lol).
Maybe it'll be dark outside when we're finished, and we can hold hands comfortably, but maybe there'll be people around, in which case maybe we'll still hold hands just for the hell of it.3
It could end with a separation, a hug or even a kiss at a bus stop, if I don't know the person all that well. Chances are I would know them well though, and we'd go back to hang out at one of our places. We'd watch movies or something lazy like normal friends, and maybe we'd be cuddling, or kissing, but I wouldn't need that really.4
In the end, the important part about the perfect 'first date' or really any date, is that it's usually planned for a purpose, to change something. Whether it's to add some romance to a relationship, or change how two people feel about each other, that's the point, to set a mood to your advantage. I don't need anything crazy for a date to be special enough to remember, I just need to be with somebody that makes whatever we do special to me.

I like it. Twas very sweet and simple but full of those feelings you have when things are still new and uncertain. Very good job on this.

Awwwww, i love how you brought it back to the basics. It doesn't really matter where we go on our dates with people or what we do really as long as the person we are with makes it special just for us.
Thanks for reminding us of the basics. Conversation even in its simplist form is the basis of a great relationship and that should begin within the first date.
