The usual
Restaurant, film, a drink after. Fine. Forgettable. And not cheap.
Nobody ever told their friends about the time they went to the cinema.
The better one
Pick an old abbey, a castle on a hill, a fort with a view. Go an hour before the sun goes down. Bring a flask and something to eat.
No queue, no bill, no other people. Just the two of you and a place that's stood there for five hundred years.
It says something about you
Bringing someone to a place they've never heard of, that's two miles from where they grew up, tells them more about you than any menu.
Nobody fancies someone who's never been anywhere.
Find one tonight
Open the map, look for the old abbeys and castles near you, and pick the one with the best view.
And if it goes well, you've a whole map of second dates.
