Reply to comment by AdmiralPhuckit in The benefits of doing nothing | An overactive 'life drive' endlessly seeks expansion, inevitably leads to burnout, and drains us of the energy needed to truly progress. Finding the time to do nothing is essential to reassessing who we are and who we want to be. by IAI_Admin

I have an idea I may one day try --- that perhaps the most mindblowing date idea would be to -- aside from the opening greetings, introduction, telling a date where dinner will be -- do the rest of the first date completely silent, communicating only through eye contact and basic/subtle gestures. I genuinely believe a date in near silence would blow the minds of both parties, as the experience (if both people could do it the full time) would probably be uniquely unheard of and connecting. Because, if you can enjoy another's company with the most minimal of interactions, how much must you enjoy that person.

Kind of makes getting to know someone impossible though. It doesn't mean you necessarily like them, just that you haven't had a chance to realize that you don't.
