A stereotypical 'perfect date' is usually represented visually by a couple sat around a dinner table in a darkened corner of a restaurant, with a candle on the table, two glorious meals in front of them, and inevitably a bottle of wine. Because apparently first dates are impossible to go on if you're not intoxicated to at least a small degree. But you and your significant other don't really fit the bill for that picture. In fact, it's probably your worst nightmare. You spend your evenings at home on the games console, or with your noses stuck in books which you'll discuss in detail when you turn the lights out.
