What would go into a “perfect” day for you?

This can be a really great question but the timing matters a lot. This isn’t a great first date question because if you ask it on a first date you’ll get the response that people *think* they should be giving. Oh, well you know, I’d work out in the morning, spend time outdoors with my friends, read a novel etc etc… A first date will probably answer this like an interview question. But on a fifth or sixth date, the time and trajectory of your budding relationship allows for more authentic answers. I’d sleep in until 11am. I’d make a gigantic breakfast burrito. I’d go for a walk with my mom. (As an added bonus, the answers to this question after the fifth or sixth date will give you great ideas for the seventh and eighth dates.)
