First Date Between 5-Year-Old Boy And His Best Friend Is Too Cute

A First Date To Remember

Freddie Gibson may only be 5 years old, but he's already a true gentleman. The little boy, who lives in the U.K., grew curious one night while watching his parents get ready for their date night. He decided he was ready to have his first date. And he knew just who to ask -- his very best friend, Dee Dee! [rsnippet id="2" name="ArticleAd-300x250-3"] Credit: Caters News Agency

The Start Of A Beautiful Friendship

"He always used to get excited when he saw her and would shout out her name, and it's just grown from there," explains Nina, Freddie's mom.

"Since they could talk, Freddie has been adamant that he and Dee Dee will grow up and get married - and she seems quite happy to go along with it," explains Dee Dee's mom, Katy. "They couldn't be more different, but they just click."

A Proper Invitation

"They've always had a special relationship - they've swapped Valentine's cards since they were toddlers, and since they learnt to write they're always swapping notes," Katy said.

In the meantime, Freddie saved up all of his own birthday money so that he could do this whole first date thing up right! He even bought a new wallet so he could keep the money safe. RELATED: This 6-year-old takes a very special lady on a date each month

She Said Yes!

The precious girl also donned a pretty flower headband and freshly painted nails.

"Freddie was very serious about the whole thing - it was so sweet, but also quite amusing to watch everyone's reactions to it," recalls Katy.

"They were like little grown-ups -- we kept a watchful eye from a distance, but they did the whole thing themselves," explains Nina.

The First Date Of Many?

All in all, it was a great time for everyone. Freddie's parents asked if he'd like to take Dee Dee out again. His suave reply was, "yes, because she's beautiful". As far as Freddie's concerned, he and Dee Dee are meant to be! Credit: Cater News Agency Despite his young age, Freddie already has a future mapped out for him and his beautiful best friend. According to Freddie, the two will marry once they grow up. They'll buy a house close to Dee Dee's grandparents. The sweet boy has even volunteered to do all of the ironing, as well as to change diapers once they have babies of their own. (Sounds like a keeper to me!) Only time will tell if God intends for these two to become husband and wife. But their first date is certainly a memory both of their families will cherish for a lifetime!
