the five days.
Pick three qualities that attract you, then three that actually make spending time with someone enjoyable. See where they overlap. Keep the answers private.
Choose one song, one flavour and one texture you love. Put them together for ten minutes: music on, something good to eat or drink, somewhere comfortable.
Choose a nearby place you've been curious about: a café, exhibition, bookshop or unfamiliar street. Give yourself a small budget, including £0. Go alone or invite someone.
Choose one: send a specific invitation, ask someone a more interesting question, or book something you've been waiting for company to do. Dating is optional.
Pick the thing you enjoyed most this week. Make a plan to do it again. Finish one sentence: "I'd like more of ___."
see you tomorrow.

the five days.
Each share a first impression and one thing that surprised you afterwards. Keep it to a sentence or two, then see where the conversation goes. Takeaway: a story about how you met.
Answer separately: breakfast or dinner, city or coast, planned or spontaneous, call or text, window or aisle. Compare. Nobody's keeping score. Takeaway: five easy conversation starters.
Send one recommendation: a song, a film or a place to eat. Add a sentence about why you chose it for this person. Takeaway: something specific to reply to later.
Curious: what's a skill you're unexpectedly good at? Playful: sell me your ideal Sunday in twenty seconds. Unexpected: name a public place you'd like to show me. Takeaway: a new story, or an idea for meeting again.
If you'd both like another date, offer two specific options with a day, a place and a rough budget. Choose one together. It's also fine to end here. Takeaway: a clear next step, if it's mutual.

Write down one thing your person probably doesn't know about you. Nothing dramatic. Unless it is. Swap. Questions are allowed.
Who picked who up? Who takes longer to leave the house? Who'd survive a week without their phone? Who's the better cook? Who started it? Answer separately. Compare. Try to stay together.
Send them one song, one food and one place you think they'd like. Then explain your least obvious choice. They'll ask anyway.
One: tell me your first impression of me. Two: plan a date you think I'd secretly love. Three: give me a compliment that isn't about my appearance. Pick a number before you read them. Too late.
You each propose a date: a time, a place, a budget. Pick one. Book it. Not 'we should'. Actually book it.
see you tomorrow.
