**RNATB** , who the hell makes a mix tape out of \*the other person’s \*music? > [@Enderw24](#): > > That’s what I called my date with Jar Jar Binks. I am literally tearing up and can barely breathe. ---

I meant you’d borrow the other person’s mp3 player to put stuff on it, not to gank songs for a mix tape. Who the hell has a cassette player anymore anyway? Shame, really, because deep down inside I always thought I’d have a chance to inflict The Ataris’ _Song for a Mix Tape_ on some chick. ---

Exactly - cassettes were perfect for that. Loading up someone’s iPod just seem less…thematic. How can you get all John Cusack with the girl if you added 500 songs to her iPod? PS: I now can’t get the sound of Jar Jar saying “it’s-a meesa mesaversary!!” out of my head. Thanks **Ender** ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > I meant you’d borrow the other person’s mp3 player to put stuff on it, not to gank songs for a mix tape. “Mix tape” is idiomatic and in no way, shape, or form implies a literal tape. And everyone knows that you give them an MP3 or audio CD with the mix, which they can then upload to their iPod. Just dumping the songs and a playlist on their MP3 player is so _gauche_. > [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Oh, yeah, not fiancee. Wifey. Whoa, I somehow totally missed that one. Congratulations! To you. Still sorry for _her_, with your creepy socks. ---

I dunno, I think the \*worst \*option would be a pair of cheap white crew socks, the kind that come 12 to a pack for $5 and hit about mid-calf. Preferably ones that have been worn around all day without shoes, so the bottoms are all groady. ---

Yeah, you’re right **Shot From Guns** , if they’re mid-calf they more much more likely to fall down in defeat, whereas the complete over-the-calf stay put, righteously awkward and senselessly dorky. ---

Hey **Red** …go get her a wrist corsage…$15-$20 tops…give it to her when you are picking her up. ---

If you’re \*really \*lucky, the elastic will be so worn out that they’ll fall into a slouch almost immediately. The ultimate triumph, of course, being one sock up and one sock down. ---

Despite all the jokes. I think this thread is awesome, because I remember the thread (I guess 6 months ago) that Red Barchetta started asking what he should do to get this girl to go out with him (or something like that. If it was probably what to do on a second date. Since get to go out with him everyone would say roofies), since he never dated before. So, it is exciting that it made it to six months! Yay! I think the mix CD idea is a good one. And, it seems like flowers are often a big hit for important occasions. And, like Hazel said, if there is anything you guys already do together like beauty limericks, or something fun and goofy like that (Not goofy in a bad way. In an endearing way) would work well for the 6 month celebration. Plus. Like CalMeacham said you could always give her wood. If you know what I mean. (I meant Toy Story 3 starring Tom Hanks as Woody on DVD, gross-o.) ---

Every year on the anniversary of our first date we go and have dinner at the same table at the same resturant. I vote for renacting your first date. However if you just drunkenly hooked up at a party all bets are off. ---
