Well?
I am supposed to call this pretty young thing tonight.
I don’t want to be boring.
So what do you all do to entertain a fair suitor?
Rear-entry sex.
Give us some clues. What are your local demographics?
Eat. Always Good.
Talk. This helps.
Listen. Good one.
The movie thing is over done, in my opinion. But substitutes are hard to come by. Maybe she like, oh, say, Hockey?
I dunno.
Sorry-
I should have elaborated.
I’m in Chicago.
That should make thing easier than if I were in say, Presho, South Dakota, but neither of us have lived here very long.
Oh-
by the way,
I am female and he’s Very pretty.
I suppose i could just wait for him to come up with something but I thought it best if i had a backup.
Watch “Blind Date” for ideas. Some are really bad (shooting range) others are better (mini golf) some are really good (rear entry sex).
God, I’m bored…
I’m giving suggestions to my own thread.
Last time we had a good time putting Circus Peanuts in the microwave and watching them expand to five or six times their normal size.
The novelty wore off quickly, though.
So then we started firing Circus peanuts at my roomates with my slingshot.
DO you know why we bought the circus peanuts in the first place?
Because after reading Cecil’s column about how nobody (well, almost nobody) likes Circus Peanuts, I felt sorry for the Circus Peanuts sitting forlornly at the Seven Eleven where went had gone to get Slurpies.
But a relationship cannot be based on circus Peanuts alone, despite their wonderful entertainment value.
So I need something new to do.
Don’t freak him out on the first date. I agree with the above – whatever else you do, you need time to talk and listen. “Dinner and a movie” maybe be hackneyed, but it’s fun. If you do the meal after the movie you can talk about the movie and go on to yourselves.
Stay away from the sexual, at least at first. Mini golf is good. Hiking. Jigsaw puzzles. Anything that’s sort of mindless fun and gives you an excuse to talk and interact.
Bear in mind that you’re getting this advice from someone whose social life was negligible, though.
Oh no, I won’t freak him out-
I wasn’t clear, i guess.
This is the same guy that I shot Circus Peanuts with.
He had a blast.
So much fun that he wants to see me again. Yay!
Except that Circus Peanuts are hard to live up to.
The other time we hung out we went dancing and then He came home and i invited him in, the only problem was that he may have been expecting to uh, “get some” if he came in, but little did he know that I have two roommates and no bedroom of my own. Poor Guy.
I guess rear-entry sex is out if we go to my place.
That’s why we settled on Circus Peanuts.
A newer twist on the movie thing might be to go to that place where you sit at tables and can drink beer while watching the flick.
You could also play “Theatre roulette!” Go to the Hot Tix place around 5 pm and see what’s still available. Go to that show, whatever it is. Even if it’s terrible.
Go to the restaurants in Greektown, they always have stuff to watch (flaming cheese, woo-hoo!). Or the Brookfield Zoo, maybe? Or Lincoln park zoo, it’s free.
I’ve always wanted to take one of those tours that goes along the river and narrates the architectural landmarks. But then I’m a geek that way. You could also decide that as newcomers, you SHOULD do the tourist thing. Find that trolley that loops around the loop and ride that. They narrate the sights, you can get off anywhere and reboard later.
Damn, listen to me waxing poetic about Chicago. Time for a return trip…take ME out! Southwest has $60 round trip fares to/from Chicago to/from lotsa places, including my closest airport. I’ll be there in a heartbeat.
Why are YOU supposed to come up with the entertainment?
In MY day, the MAN was supposed to come up with the game plan, as well as spring for the flowers and food and booze and vaudeville tickets.
“Good evening, Daisy Mae. You’re looking lovely. You certainly do something for that dress. Here are a dozen fresh-cut yellow roses. I thought we’d have some rear-entry sex tonight.”
swoon Now there’s a man I’d be happy to waste a tube of astroglide on!
I have done this and it is very interesting. But I guess I’m a geek that way too. 
“What do you want to see honey? They have tickets available for “Rear entry sax.” Hmm…must be a jazz show or something.”
How about whatever play is at the Mercury Theatre by The Music Box? It’s an Irish comedic play called IIRC Last night at Ballyhoo or something You can eat at any number of places around there and Cullens still has this slightly eccentric female singer on Thursdays who does lots of requests -even if she doesn’t know all the words.
On a slightly classier note Green Dolphin St. has great music and food (although pricey) but the bar food is great for sharing and more reasonable. It’s two blocks W of Webster Place Theatre too
i take it you aren’t going to do the rear-entry sex? that would probably top the cirus peanuts.
if you want to hang out in a happening place and meet a really cool guy, just drive your date on down to indy and stop by. i have pudding snacks in my fridge!
Green Dolphin St.?
Rear-entry sex?
“Rear Entry Sax?”
Those are all wonderful suggestions, but inoci-
PUDDING SNACKS???
Yessssssssssssssssssss!
I say my evening just got booked solid!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Forget that pretty boy-
I just want the damn pudding snacks, really.
You’re in Chicago, the legendary land of mobsters? Why don’t you relieve the fabulous days of yesteryear? Go to a local pawnshop, find some old tommy-guns, rob a bank, and drive away in a 1920’s car while spraying the street in a hail of bullets. Then when the police starts chasing you, disguise yourselves as women (easy for you) and join an all-woman jazz band that’s on its way to tour beautiful sunny Florida.
Trust me, this will be one date you’ll never forget.
Thanks Winkie, it’s a fantastic idea, but it’s not a 'fridge full of pudding snacks.
With all the talk about rear-entry sex, I had to read that 3 times before I realized it didn’t say “…a greek that way.”
Typical. I come up with a really good idea, and the girl goes home with someone else.
sigh…
