Ten dates that have worked for me:
1. Taking a girl cd shopping and buying her music she should owe by bands she doesn't even know about. It pays off when your bands are the ones she loves.
2. Dinner at Le Medi (Little Italy) and a night walk down to Battery Park. If its going well the Staten Island ferry is right there.
3. Pretending your back in seventh grade and going U/A at 14st to a horror/stupid comedy with your date and tons of friend (from both sides). Bring a shitty single rose, act awkward, make out the whole time, and take a mid-movie video game break to add to the 7th grade-ness. And if you're really lucky like I was you're parents might be in town to pick you up in their mini-van.
4. A show at Above Klept. followed by a visit downstairs. But only long enough to get grossed out and laugh, but not to get turned on. Followed by a beer at the Bull Moose.
5. A night of bar hoping finishing up at Chinatown's karoako bar Whinny's. This place is small, drunk, and chinese. They hate it when I do my screaming version of "Summer of 69", but the ladies laugh their ass off. Plus the bar-back is a chinese dwarf in a cloat whose always drunk. Come in tuxs for added fun.
6. A midnight visit to Central Park after a day of snow. Make sure to first steal lunch trays from any city fast food joint, and get to sledding. After enjoying nature, the night, the slops and the skyline, take a walk through the park. It's dark, and other than the homeless youre alone.
7. An evening visit to any of the musmen on the mile and then a walk down to either Dylan's Candy Shop or Serendipty. They may not be the most guy-ness going on but the ladies dig it. And hell after you get over the look, who can disagree with grape bazoo Joe's or hot cholotol?
8. An afternoon game of the Coney Island mirror league team. Followed by a walk down the Broadwalk, The Cyclon, a Nathan's Hot Dog, and people watching on the peir. And if the girl swings that way go swimming. And ready can you complain if nothing happens between you, you did get to ride the cyclon.
9. Buy a 40 of Colt 45 and hit up one of those crazy lighted up Indian Resturtants on 1st Ave, just off 6st. Enjoy the lights, the malt, and the curry. And if you're lucky like I was the owner will hit on your date.
Well I thought I could come up with ten but I guess I only have been on nine really good unqiu dates since moving to this city three years ago. That kind of sucks. Time to get to work I guess.
