Hi again. I talked to him last night and we talked about meeting. But honestly I dont really want to meet for coffee. Are there any other good suggestions that you guys have done. In the past I've done the coffee thing, meeting at the park or go to the movies. Guess I'm looking for other ideas. Did a search but didn't find a whole lot. Thanks in advance

Hi, fairylass.

Sounds like you need to get to know your city!! Why don't you google and find out what's happening in your town. Get creative.

Hi FL,

Do you play pool? I have met dates at a nice little Irish pub to play pool and have a drink. If there is not great conversation, then you have the game to occupy you, and if there is, you can find a little table and chat all night! By the way, I SO suck at pool, but if you look cute doing it, no worries! Plus, they can be the "man" and teach you!

Or, do you all have nice museums or the like? Nice to walk and chat there. Also, what about lunch at somewhere casual. Soup/salad/sandwich and a limited amount of time, in case things are not very turbo. And, if they Are, it gives you a chance to say 'bye!' and leave them thinking...."hmmmm,,,she is cool!"--early escape hatch-ism leaves them thinking!

Good luck! This 'coffee date' thing makes me wonder if Starbucks is not in cahoots with the OLD sites...might be a good 'stock twin'to look into buying: "Match.com & Starbucks"--double dividends! :)

Have fun!

Truly,
Cupcake
