If you had one shot with Kate Beckinscale or Kate Hudson or Katie Hughes or any other non-Kate, where would you take them? I’m talking about a place. not a movie or a show or a restaurant. I am 100% on mine, just curious on others. I’ll disclose mine in a couple of days. ---

Ladies are welcome to participate as well. Trying to think of some K-guys, to keep up the theme. Kal Penn? Karl Malden? ---

My record is 100% at this place. 3/3. One was a slam dunk, but the other two were out of the blue. so to speak. Pack your bag accordingly ---

You’re not answering the question - by place, do you mean “specific place” like “St Marks Square, Venice”, or do you mean “general class of place”, like “Take her to a county fair”? ---

I’d take them on a snorkeling afternoon in Grand Cayman. That way, even if the relationship doesn’t work out in the end, at least we’d have some pretty awesome memories. Ideally, they’d also be too tired afterwards to do or say anything too silly. ---

Not to be crude, but if the goal is to have sex with “K” after visiting this place then my answer is easy. (A) Malibu pier. (B) Eureka commercial fishing pier. © Lake Henshaw dock 14B. All these have had salubrious outcomes. ---

If I were already in a relationship I myself would want to go to London and barhop, while at the same time being able to take in historical and/or romantic sights as we passed them by. I don’t have luck at establishing relationships but if I could choose anywhere in the world to attempt one at, I’d choose Rome over Paris because it has enough things that _I’d_ like to see that I wouldn’t be in such a bad mood that I wouldn’t be able to be romantic. I’d choose Rome over London because I’d be too wasted in London to not blow the whole thing. ---

If I still had it, the back of my 1974 Mustang. Shitty car but I was batting 1000 in that hatchback. ---
