Meet Ben, a hot date full of great ideas.

Before I got merched

When the Londoner was tasked with planning a first date, he went above and beyond and sent his potential paramour a PowerPoint of pitches.

A guy asked me on a date today & said "any suggestions where to go?".

Because I'm a full time weirdo I sent him a PowerPoint of ideas.

And Ben has some really awesome ideas, and a great attention to detail.

A free museum with an "Alas Poor Fanny"? Sounds like a perfect date to me, claustrophobia notwithstanding.

There's more than that came from: Ben has an idea for another arty hotspot, with pros such as good memories of Celine Dion, and junkyard golf if Tom is in a more active mood.

Now this Tom fellow was neither arty nor sporty, and completely without a sense of humor (or humoUr in the UK), because the PowerPoint didn't go as planned.

He blocked me.

I didn't even know you could block people on WhatsApp.

For real, what's this dude's problem?

I think I dodged a bullet because OBVIOUSLY this is tongue-in-cheek and I don’t want someone who has 0 humour

Sir John Soane's Museum—of Option 1 fame—chimed in and said "good riddance."

How rude. You've dodged a bullet @velzzb. Anyone not sold on a place they might film Flog It is not worth your ❤️ https://t.co/7Sc7Uj3BQu

Ben is not alone. Others have used Microsoft Office for flirting, and have taken it in much stranger directions.

Someone asked me out by PowerPoint once - and ended on an entire Walt Witman poem. pic.twitter.com/1HM2aL6cYv

You're missing out, Tom.

Anyone would be lucky to play crazy golf (not a euphemism) with you.

Guy over-prepares for first date with cute slideshow of ideas. It didn’t go well.
