Those are some nifty ideas, **Nifty** …but I have to wonder how many people you go on a date with at once. Those sound like wonderful group activities, but I’m not sure how some of them would work for just two people. Oh geez…maybe I AM becoming a monogamist! :eek: ---

As a non-Chicagoite I will say that 2 things about Chicago I thought were great were 1) the U-boat in the Museum of Science and Industry and 2) going to Wrigleyville for a Cubs away game. Might or might not be date material, depending on the lass in question. I am aware of how old this thread is, but zombies need lovin’ too. ---

Hey **Dex** , both **Nifty** and **brandonheate** have exactly one post each on this message board, and each of those posts contains a link to a for-profit website, neither of which are in any way specific to Chiacgo. Not only that, but the site linked by **Nifty** is called [niftydateideas.com](http://niftydateideas.com) That all looks a lot like spam to me. ---

Thanks for noticing that, **mhendo,** good catch. The offending posts have been disappeared, which sort of screws up the coherence of this thread since there are comments about non-existent posts. Oh, well. ---

Yeah, I can’t believe someone came in here, revealed Cecil’s real identity, gave out a passcode to get free tickets to Hollywood premiers, linked to a secret diary of Adam Weishaupt, and then just disappeared. Weird stuff. ---

Smoke a joint and walk along the lake. That way, wherever you end up taking her to eat will be the best place she ever ate! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chicago-date-ideas-desperately-need-help/551186.md?page=1)
