Forget everything you know about dating - a five-year-old boy has rewritten the rules.

Young Freddie Gibson, from Christchurch, Dorset, is redefining relationship goals with an extremely cute courtship of his "best friend in the world" Dee Dee, also five.

As soon as young Freddie learnt what the word "date" meant, he told his parents he wanted to take out Dee Dee.

Shunning modern dating norms of texts, WhatsApps, emails or even phone calls, Freddie sent Dee Dee a special invitation in the post - this was no casual meet-up.

The miniature Romeo saved up his birthday money to cover the costs of their meal and even bought a new wallet to keep his dinner money safe.

Dee Dee accepted and Freddie chose Pizza Express for their outing.
