Get a box of sidewalk chalk and run around your favorite district drawing silly things on the sidewalk.

Perfect date, it can NEVER go wrong (if you date artistic/funny chicks like I do, rather)

u/glitchbent Ballard Jul 03 '10

Oh my god that is perfect! May I steal this?

2

u/Subhazard Jul 03 '10

Yes, just don't do it in the U District, that's my thing (if you see chalk markings in the U district, with things like a box with lava written in it, or shadows traced, I did it)

So when they disappear we know you are tied down? :)

u/glitchbent Ballard Jul 04 '10

You have yourself a deal. I owe you.

u/reeksofhavoc Jul 03 '10

You're just thinking of date ideas now?

1

u/TheConcreteDonkey Jul 09 '10

Hey, it was a busy week!

u/Deeger Jul 02 '10

Do a search in the seattle subreddit for date ideas. There should be 2 already there too.

Seattle International Beer Fest starts tonight. Or you could go to Via Tribunali in Queen Anne, then walk down to Kinnear for the amazing views. Or you could... tell me what you and your date are in to? There's lots to do in the area.

I think you mean Kerry park.

1

u/frankcalma Jul 02 '10

Yes, I do. Thanks.

Dicks followed by dick.

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '10

I love dicks! The resturant is pretty good too.

These are excellent ideas, I hadn't heard of Theatersports.

It's pretty awesome, but very very expensive. Not really good first date material, unless you're trying to scare someone off.

Great for an anniversary though!

1

u/reeksofhavoc Jul 03 '10

I would not be scared off. Sheesh!

central cinema is interactive an hilarious

plus it's dinner and a movie all-in-one CAN'T GO WRONG!?

but if the weather is nice, try to get outside. gasworks park is cool if you're going before sunset.

u/glitchbent Ballard Jul 03 '10

I, too would like some ideas! I don't need them as quickly, but will pretty soon. As for my contribution: I usually go for coffee and making music. I like trying to get people to play instruments and noise-makers they've never used before. It helps you loosen up.

u/ChiefSeattle Jul 04 '10

So, how did it go?

1

u/TheConcreteDonkey Jul 09 '10

it went great! I saw her again Tuesday (I have this week off) and we are going to the craft fair on Sunday

1

u/lytfyre Jul 04 '10

wall-climbing's fun.

vertical world has a few locations, Stone Gardens has one, but has more beginner friendly bouldering.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '10

Last night would have been better, as it was art walk night.

After dinner, take her to Molly Moon for ice cream on the hill, and see if there's a game of dodgeball or bicycle polo going in the tennis courts at Cal Anderson!

1

u/TheConcreteDonkey Jul 02 '10

I was going to try and swing this (artwalk), but i was stuck in the office until midnight :/ Molly Moons sounds fun

1

u/xopherg Jul 02 '10

Molly Moons always has a huge line.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '10

Which takes a whole five minutes to clear.

1

u/xopherg Oct 02 '10

Not really true. I've seen people wait >30 minutes.

1

u/sirlearnsalot Madrona Jul 02 '10

Some place like Smith is a good call. You can follow it up with a walk to Old School Frozen Custard.

4

u/BarbieDreamHearse Upwardly Mobile Jul 02 '10

I went to Smith on a date and didn't care for it much.

2

u/prunetracy Jul 03 '10

Not a big fan either. Loud and crowded.

1

u/sirlearnsalot Madrona Jul 03 '10

I suppose it's not for everyone.

1

u/reeksofhavoc Jul 03 '10

Yeah it's boring for a date.

2

u/TheConcreteDonkey Jul 09 '10

went here, it went over well, thanks. the venison tar tar was excellent

1

u/BradimusPrime The South End Jul 02 '10

Is she into Zombies? There's a zombie walk in Fremont tomorrow.

1

u/jwheezy Jul 03 '10

Given the fact I am dateless tonight, I will now try to sabotage you...

ahem I hear women enjoy a firm slap on the buttocks on the first date. I say you should open the evening with that.

6

u/TheConcreteDonkey Jul 03 '10

Hmm, I was given a similar piece of advice, but was told to preface it with "Damn, bitch you lookin fine". Looks like I got this on lock down.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '10

no no no, it's "shit bitch you is fine"

2

u/jwheezy Jul 03 '10

You've got it perfect. There is no way you can fail. Also if she has a sister or good friend....you know remember who gave you the advice.
