Friday, November 3, 2006 at 8:38 AM I am thinking of asking a girl to go out with me as a friend to some different places. I figure everyone asks someone else to a movie, it's a better chance of having fun if we can go somewhere fun and interesting, too. My ideas are: Federal Reserve Bank tour
Art Museum
Commodities Exchange observation deck
Going to the top of a war memorial in an elevator (it's similar to the Washington Monument) Any of these ideas sound any good? Please consider the idea and not the source. Also add your own ideas (no graveyards, cemeteries, hospital burn units or pediatric oncology units, please). —drakeguy19 |

Edited Friday, November 3, 2006 at 8:59 AM Federal Reserve Bank tour, Art Museum, Commodities Exchange observation deck, Going to the top of a war memorial in an elevator (it's similar to the Washington Monument) —drakeguy19 WHAT?!?! HEY, WE CAN HAVE A LOT OF FUN TOGETHER!!! WE CAN TOUR THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK AND THE COMMODITIES EXCHANGE!!!! UNLESS YOU CAUGHT THIS GIRL MASTURBATING TO ALAN GREENSPAN, THEN THOSE ARE HORRIBLE IDEAS. BUT I DO ADMIRE YOUR TENACITY. YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR CRAZY ENERGY AND TRY TO PUT YOURSELF IN THE GIRL'S HEAD. THINK "I HAVE BOOBS, A BRA, AND A DIVOT AROUND WHERE MY PENIS SHOULD BE. WHERE DO I WANT TO GO TODAY???" —Elvis-In-ZT |

Friday, November 3, 2006 at 9:39 AM Drake,I realize you are kind of retarded, but where the fuck did you get the idea that a girl would want to go on a Federal Reserve Bank tour or take a ride in an elevator? I guess those certainly are "different" ideas. —mandeemoo22 |

Friday, November 3, 2006 at 10:11 AM Take her to striker's fallout shelter and munitions cache. —Had To Get It On YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR CRAZY ENERGY AND TRY TO PUT YOURSELF IN THE GIRL'S HEAD.

—Elvis-In-ZT That was awesome you two. Serious ROFL I used to like to take my first dates to an Art/Science Museum. It shows I'm interested in their thoughts on art and science as well as feeling their boobs. The museum thing is good because it gives you things to react to and talk about. If you're a spaz and can't keep your mouth shut you probably want to mask that by taking her to a movie or a play. Know thyself. —bguirk |

Friday, November 3, 2006 at 11:12 AM I kind of despise dating, but I've always had a fantasy about some cute boy taking me to a karaoke bar. I posted the specific one that I want to go to in my livejournal, hoping that a guy I know who reads it will come up to me one day and suggest that we go there and do a duet to a Salt N Pepa song. —mandeemoo22 |

Friday, November 3, 2006 at 12:25 PM Take her shopping at a supermarket - seriously you can really have fun - you find out what food she likes, what drinks, what type of clothes, books, music, try it - Then take her to a quiet corner and bang the bejesus outta her (oops there I go again) —AceRockollaisAce |

Friday, November 3, 2006 at 2:12 PM Come on you guys. I meant take a ride on the elevator to the top of the monument. Second of all, there is a war going on, there are memorials to soldiers and remembrances and reports of deaths occurring every day. I understand the possible depressing aspect of the memorial, but it's not like we would make etchings of the names for the date, we would be going to see the view from the top of the monument. And furthermore, what is wrong with taking a tour of a bank or going to an art museum? You don't have to know what Veblen goods are to find SOMETHING interesting about a place everyone goes but no one really thinks about. It's like the Fort Knox of banks. The key thing to remember about these ideas is they AREN'T what most people are used to for dates, but that doesn't mean they're all necessarily bad ideas. I also haven't seen any other suggestions besides the supermarket (don't really like shopping, besides it isn't really a "date type" outing to go waltzing through the produce aisles feeling up rutabagas or squash). I don't want to go to the cemetery. Give your own ideas if you think these are so crap. —drakeguy19 |

Friday, November 3, 2006 at 2:25 PM >>besides it isn't really a "date type" outing to go waltzing through the produce aisles feeling up rutabagas or squash I love going to the grocery store with my boyfriend. Not that we ever hit the produce aisle. But, you probably can't enjoy the fun of making out in the grocery store on a first date. I'm sure the girl would like it if you bought her stuff, though. —chix0r |

Friday, November 3, 2006 at 4:29 PM How is going to the grocery store a "date"? Me: Hey, uh, you want to go to the...grocery store with me?
She: Is this a joke? HAHHAHAA you're so funny!
Me: yeah, funny stuff. The only thing that has in common with a date is that I would be buying her food. Even I'm not that socially inept that I would honestly ask someone to go to the grocery store with me. I agree that the bank tour isn't such a good idea, even though I think it would be interesting to go to it. Art museum is probably a better idea, and it's free. I was just trying to think of free places to go. Any other suggestions on free places to take a date? —drakeguy19 |

QFT
drake: It doesn't matter where you take her, as long as you remember to put your thumb in her ass. Girls like that.
Also, as an icebreaker, chicks like it when you present them with a small gift, when you meet. I suggest you bring ten dollars, to give as a gift. Then take her dumpster-diving for dinner, you cheap bastard. —Dusty TheHick |

Saturday, November 4, 2006 at 10:08 AM Ditto what Dusty said (with the amendment that it helps if your thumb is covered in fresh cranberry sauce). How is going to the grocery store a "date"? It's actually not bad (especially if you can cook). You guys spend some time picking up what you need and chatting, then you take her back to your place or hers and dazzle her with your culinary skills. If you can't cook, it sounds like you work with people who can. Learn how to make something relatively simple and good from one of them (or just buy a good cookbook and practice). I've never tried it for a first date, but it's cheap and you've already got her back home. Just dim the lights, set up some candles (maybe buy a few tropical flowers and put them on the table). Me: Hey, uh, you want to go to the...grocery store with me?
She: Is this a joke? HAHHAHAA you're so funny!
Me: yeah, funny stuff. Dude - you think *way* too much. When you read that, please consider the source. I agree that the bank tour isn't such a good idea, even though I think it would be interesting to go to it. Art museum is probably a better idea, and it's free. I was just trying to think of free places to go. Any other suggestions on free places to take a date? If she's into art, I guess that could work. Oh - if you were in Chicago, I'd say take her to the Museum of Science and Industry. It's not free anymore, but it's still cheaper than a movie and you can walk around and talk for awhile. Then you could take her down to Old Town Chicago and visit the ice cream parlor and get the best chocolate malt you've ever had. Damn I wish I could fly out there now for a malt. Thanks Drake, now I'm drooling - do you see what you've done you bastard?!?!

Saturday, November 4, 2006 at 12:00 PM ...but, anobody, don't expect drake to be willing to spend any money on you first. That's OK, I'm a cheap date. All I need is a couple of tickets to Chicago (first class on a decent airline), a suite at the Drake, a cheap rental car (I'd settle for a Porsche or a late-model Ferrari), passage into MSI, appropriate cold-weather clothing (shorts don't fly in the windy city at this time of year), tickets for one of the Omnimax shows, a few 5-star meals and a couple of chocolate malts while we're in the museum. Drake - just PM me and I'll send you an address to send the money and tickets to.

Edited Saturday, November 4, 2006 at 7:06 PM That funeral invitation is funny. Ano, thanks for giving me those good ideas. The problem with where I live is there isn't really anything to do out in the suburbs, you have to go downtown to find stuff to do that doesn't involve shopping and/or rediculous prices for things (mainly clothes and home stuff). All that's out here is The Gap, Pottery Barn, etc. I'm just reticent to pay for a date as a friend. If it was a "date date" then I would pay for it. I just feel like if I pay for it as a gentleman and then we end up having sex or something, I (or she)'ll feel like I just paid to get into her pants (in a roundabout way). I know, I think too much. I really can't cook very well, I don't think. I haven't ever cooked for anyone else besides me. Maybe if she can cook then she could come over and show me how to. I have no idea how the hell to set up that request. I'm not cheap, I don't have money. I'm spending money every day that I don't have, and my parents make sure to remind me of it when the credit card statement comes by itemizing every charge that I've made. I can't afford to keep living like this. $725/month rent, making $75/week. Even if I moved to my friend's apartment complex which is $400/month rent I couldn't swing it. —drakeguy19 |
