Date Night

Want to know a secret? I have a date tonight. Yup! The
anticipation is giving me some somach churning, which
will grow into the size of the new cage at Butterfly
World here in G'ville. Still unsure about the clothes
selection for this evening's activities.
Unfortunately, the one person I would feel comfortable
asking is in Colorado (thanks a lot!). I can only
truly ask a woman's perspective because guys are
clueless when it comes to mixing and matching. We
think a pair of jeans and a polo shirt, but that is so
cookie cutter and B-O-R-I-N-G. For some reason, men
think it's OK to wear sneakers to din-din, but that is
a fashion faux-pas. Only to the gym. Period. I am at a
slight disadvantage in the post, because I know she
reads this blog, so I can't reveal my date night
secrets. However, I will leak one huge bit of advice.
When you go to a restaurant, don't fit your ugly butt
down in the best seat at the table. What do you mean
you say? Let your date get the spot where she can scan
the room. Really. She will appreciate it. If she gets
the worst seat (i.e. the one opposite the wall where
she has only one view, which is you), she is forced to
only focus on you. If men have the "scanning" seat, it
gives them an opportunity to watch the activity of the
room (i.e. other women!), which draws away from you
paying attention to your date. Women don't want you
looking at other women, and they want your undivided
attention. So make your date happy by sliding your
tush over to the other chair. Hey, I'm no expert, but
a little dating ergonomic seat arranging may get you a
second date (or a third)...and that's my plan :)
