One message a day

Each person gets one message per day.

  1. Day 1 · Alex

    Okay, proper question. If you had the whole evening free and nothing planned tomorrow, what would you actually choose to do? I'd probably go somewhere cosy for food, then take a walk if the weather behaved. I'm definitely happier somewhere you can actually hear each other.

  2. Alex has sent today's message · Sam can still reply
  3. Day 1 · Sam

    That sounds pretty close to mine. Good food, somewhere relaxed and someone who's actually present rather than checking their phone every two minutes. I'd probably add a late coffee somewhere quiet. What's your favourite kind of first date?

  4. Midnight · new day
  5. Day 2 · Alex

    Probably something simple where you can actually talk. Food, a walk, maybe somewhere for coffee afterwards if we're still enjoying ourselves. I like those evenings where you planned to be out for an hour and suddenly realise it's midnight. Have you ever had a date like that?
