Author Topic: I have a date tonight... Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-14-2003 01:25 AM                     Oh yeah, that's right Rachel, go ahead and answer my comment and not answer poor Manny's plea for help. How mean.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 06-14-2003 03:04 AM                     Don't ask me, I've never had a date. Great believer in staying single  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-14-2003 03:49 AM                  Manny! I hope all goes well...and like others have said, just be yourself. If it's not to be, then it's not and it is better to find out before you spend a lot of bucks and then find out you can't get laid! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer...I AM the Master-dater.... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-14-2003 05:40 AM                     One of my first dates went well, we meet outside the Little Kinema as it was next to the bus station, going to the Odeon, Surbiton to see "A Night To Remember". We both worked at the Regal, Kingston-upon-Thames, and got married 18 months later. Happy dating Manny!  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I haven't had a date in TOO long. It's just hard finding someone with the same interests or one who finds the same stupid things funny, but once you do, it's magic! Or so I'm told... I can help you out on what NOT to do. When you're leaving the movie with your date and they ask you what you thought of it, don't go saying stuff like, "Well the center channel was a little weak and the splice between 4-5 was a little rough." You'll just get a blank stare and a changed subject. Also, if you own a Pac-Man arcade machine, no matter how cool YOU think it is, DON'T plan an evening around it... And "Music From The Television Game Show: The Price Is Right - Soundtrack" is not reccomended as Mood Music. 'nuff said. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-14-2003 09:54 AM                        Also, do NOT take someone to see a midnight show of "A Clockwork Orange" on a first date. I did this once and she almost killed me (at the time, neither of us had seen the film).  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

That was the last time I went to see a film without doing some research first.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-14-2003 12:06 PM                     I've learned to research EVERYTHING , including the girl. I don't do blind dates, and I don't ask somebody out on a whim.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 06-14-2003 12:48 PM                     I don't have any good tips other then just to be yourself...I'm the girl, I don't have to plan dates! Ask Don, hes pretty good at that stuff. But wait, he probably won't repond for at least a week because hes here right now!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-14-2003 12:56 PM                        Yeah, the best advice here is "be yourself," unless you're a jerk, then you've got a problem. I remember reading a list once of the most effective "meeting" lines....rather than some clever banter, the most effective was "Hi!" (The problem I always had was, what to say next...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-14-2003 03:25 PM                     Rachel, That area is easy! All Don has to do is pack you off to Two Rivers and Kurtz's German bar. Be sure to try the Brunschweiger while your there....however, carry some Gas-Ex with you though........

When I am driving I always want to bump them back up to the sidewalk where they belong. What really pisses me off are bicyclists who ride in the street when there is not only a perfectly good sidewalk right next to them, but also a bike trail no more than 10 to 15 feet away! I hate all road bikers (those bikes with those skinny little tires, formerly known as "10-speeds"). Those are the kinds of people who shave their legs to make themselves more aerodynamic and wear tight outfits with lots of "sponsors". I am a mountain biker. Trails only for me, and I don't play with the cars.  |  IP: Logged
