Father takes daughter on 'best first date'
A video, posted to YouTube, shows a dad spending time with his daughter by taking her on her very 'first date.'

It may really be "The Best First Date." A dad posted a sweet video on YouTube of him taking his 3-year-old daughter on her first "first date."

The video starts with Aaron Dickson getting ready. He walks out the front door, then turns right back around to meet his very excited daughter.

"Wow, you are so beautiful," he tells young Analynne.

"Hi, dad," she responds. "Are you ready for the date?!"

On beautiful table set up on the back porch -- complete with a bouquet of red roses and princess-themed cups and utensils -- the dad and daughter enjoyed a dinner of sandwiches, carrots and strawberries. The two then took a stroll to the playground for some quality father-daughter time filled with lots of laughter and even a piggyback ride.

The video was posted last month for Father's Day and has been viewed nearly 8 million times.

Dickson hopes this video will last as a reminder to show his daughter how she should be treated by a man.
