First meeting ideas

It's so hard to find a sweetie. So I've come up with a list of ideas for the first meeting. Most are well known on here and others may not. I've tried some and not others but the whole idea is to find your sweetie under the right set of circumstances so don't rule any of these out. Feel free to add your own.

1) Coffee Shop: Good idea and I've done this one numerous times. But boring as heck. It's usually noisy and the $5 your going to invest in your sweetie doesn't bode well for anything but "Thanks for the coffee but I don't see a common interest. By the way, where is the bathroom? I've gotta go real bad."

2) Restaurant: If you've got the feeling you know your date fairly well beforehand, try this one. The only question is whether you want to go to a "real" restaurant or a "chain" restaurant. Take Chili's for instance. The food's only marginal but the gristle is plentiful. So you get to complain about rubbery chicken tenders and cold corn on the cob to your sweetie. At a "hole in the wall" you get to share your sweetie with dishes like roast beef in chocolate sauce.

3) Zoo: Take your sweetie to the zoo and go directly to the monkey cage. Hey sweetie, look at that monkee pee. Our how about the rhino cage. "Boy he sure does eat alot", and you sneak a kiss right before he takes a 200lb dump. Better yet, head to the reptile house to look at the snakes..... "He sure is long, but not as long as..."

4) Movies: Intimate but you can't talk very much and sometimes after the first greeting you won't want to. You have two choices here, go to a real movie like Indiana Jones or attend the smaller (non-stadium) type and watch Indiana Boner and the Temple of Lust.

5) Swimming Pool: Since the photo's appear to show 2 athletic and toned people, meet at the local swimming pool. I have a friend that likes this meeting place.

6) Parent's house: Intstant disqualification if this is suggested.

7) Bar or nightclub: Another common meeting place. But it's going to be noisy and smoky. Easy to dash if your date sux. These places can be misleading if you're both drinking. It can make your date appear better than they are in real life. Be careful.

8) Peep Show: Instant disqualification. But it would be nice to drop the quarter and watch the shades come up. And what a revelation. The thing behind the glass is prettier than your date.

9) Strip Club: Another interesting suggestion if your date has bi tendencies.

10) Bedroom: For instant chemistry. "Forget the coffee, lets go make some other fluids."

11) Limo: Only in Vegas.

12) Hotel room: "Excuse me but where are the sheets? Oh, you have to rent them at the office."

13) House: Don't worry about all of the above, I'm going to make you dinner and we'll cuddle on the couch and watch movies.

14) Let's meet behind the bushes at the local Taco Bell. Only for the majority of Craigslist personal posters.

15) Hiking: I did remember LG.

16) The gym: "Lets do some crunches together and use the steam room. Then we can cool off in the pool.
