The happiness of seeing someone whom you feel close to is beyond words. The feeling of looking forward to meeting that specific person catapults us back into childhood, like ice cream with extra toppings or Christmas.

But where do we want to meet our heartthrob? Where would be romantic, but convenient? 

When going on a date, girls usually have high expectations. We want to go somewhere flowery, where the light is perfectly dimmed, the food is delicious and the music brings us into an accomplished, romantic mood. We want our prince to create the perfect evening for us.

However, besides this materialistic need, we women are also simple. Being taken to a park for a walk on a sunny day is all we need. Even our campus has park qualities, with nice hidden sitting options like the Grafly sculpture garden behind Wilner. It is not about spending the most money; it is about having the most creative idea for the first date. 

If one takes his girl to Buffalo Wild Wings, where one TV screen sits next to another and they all show sweaty overweight football and baseball players, then he definitely failed and he should realize that there is no future in sight. 

Going to the movies, for instance, has just one small positive feature, which is that the arms or hands could accidentally touch one another while trying to put them on the armrest. However, most of the time, both individuals are too shy to make it so obvious.
