So recently one of my best friends has asked me what my perfect date would be. While I've been meaning to blog about things like this for a while, she finally gave be the shove to do it (thanks bb)

Dear future boyfriend,

You should really know what the 17 year old me would want from you. I would want you to take me on an all day date. We would start at 9 am because I'm more or less a morning person (except in the summer when I get on the schedule of a vampire) and I wouldn't want to waste a minute of this day. First things first, we would cook breakfast for ourselves. Deep down I want to be a homemaker of a woman and playing house is basically my dream date, but we'll keep it to a minimum for your sake. While my cooking abilities are limited, hopefully you can keep me from burning the house down. After we make pancakes, we would fry up some bacon (really you would because I'm afraid of grease popping up at me) and then serve breakfast to my parents as well as ourselves. After breakfast we would perhaps watch a bit of the morning news because there's no way I wouldn't eat far too much food. Next, we would pack a picnic to take on our little adventure of a day. I would want you to take me out on the lake on this day. Hopefully I've found myself an outdoors-man but that's not likely since I'm more of an inside kind of gal. If you don't have a boat, going to the beach will do just fine. I don't find fishing to be that enthralling so it would be fine if you left that part out. On the beach, I would want to play. Like joking around, laughing, pushing each other into the water, etc. If you're my boyfriend, you know what I mean by playing. You would bring speakers and we'd play our collaborative playlist for the season. After we picnic, I think we would go for a walk because that's a nice reason to hold hands and enjoy each others' presence. Then we would pack up and get in your car to go for a nice long ride. I like to go out in the backwoods and smell the fresh air and feel the way Wisconsin feels. I don't care how old I am or how long I've been living in Wisconsin at that time, it will never get old to me. At the end of the drive, I want you to drop me off at home for approximately 2 hours. After being awake and excited all day, lord knows I need a nap. When you pick me up again, I'd be wearing a dress and you'd look nice too. Don't forget to tell me I'm beautiful because I've never been called beautiful by a guy before .We would go to a nice supper club for dinner and split a big steak with me because I don't like the potato that comes with it but I love beef. After dinner, I would want you to bring me back out away from the city (but still in a safe area because being out in the dark without cell phone service scares me). If you have a truck, bring blankets and a TON of pillows so we could cuddle under the stars. If you don't have a truck, bring more blankets and more pillows so we could lay on the beach by the lake again and just chill for a while. Cuddle me like you've never cuddled anyone before. I would want to feel so close to you. I would want to feel the way you breathe, the way your hands fit around mine, the patterns on your palms, everything. Talk to me about everything. Tell me you love me that night.

Love,

Your future girlfriend
