10/11   I am looking for ideas for a first date.  Does anyone have ideas?
           \_ look up the usernames of all the females on ocf/soda/cory
              and send them a spam message offering to date them. Follow
              up with all those who don't send death threats. Some have
              success with this others don't. YMMV.
        \_ If you have to ask, you don't know.  Plus you can get better
           advice from Playboy articles than the soda motd.
           \_ He wouldn't be asking if he knew what to do. DUH! Get a CLUE!
        \_ look up the usernames of all the females on ocf/soda/cory
                                            \_ why do you assume
                                                she's a lesbian?
                I'm assuming that the poster is a male _/
                (or as close to it as you can get with
                a motd poster asking for mating ritual
                advice) looking for a date with a female.
                I didn't think about all of the sick and
                disgusting and perverted homosexual matchups
              \_   :o-:
                that you are apparently facinated with.
             why do you assume there are females on cory?_/
           and send them a spam message offering to date them. Follow
           up with all those who don't send death threats. Some have
           success with this others don't. YMMV.
           \_ Not *getting* a date, but what to do for an activity.
              \_ I suggest xtrek or the multi-player version of
                 hack if your are a UNIX type. If you are mac or
                 pc try Q3A or UT (whichever you prefer).
                 Or you could try the one of the following cliched combos:
                 {movie|miniature golf|play|opera|beach}/{lunch|dinner}
        \_ try the spicy tuna hand roll
           \_ try the spicy fish taco
              \_ I hear eating lots of garlic really turns the girls on.
                 \_ I guess you just don't get "eating fish tacos", huh?
                    \_ that's really stupid
                    \_ what?
                        \_ <DEAD>www.fishtacos.com<DEAD>
        \_ spend so much money that you can't possibly ever live up to the
           resulting expectations. Oh, and do things like go to a concert,
           movie, or night club so that you don't ever actually talk.
           \_  Heh.  I like to take girls to a cafe.
        \_ Don't forget to deny her in case she offers you oral sex.
           \_ :o
              \_   :o-8
                   \_ pencil d*ck.  It's :o=8

        \_ A dozen of red roses will do just fine.  And a nice romantic
           restaurant.
              \_ If you send roses you must not sign your name!
           \_ Don't forget to ask your waiter to leave a "Magnum" brand
              prophylactic on the receipt tray.
              \_ to accomodate the "larger gentleman"?
                 \_ That's what he meant.
        \_ You mean you've never been on a date?
           \_ He's posting on the motd for advice. What do you think??
              DUH! Of course he has never been on a date.
        \_ try to avoid making it out the excursion as being a "date",
           it'll tend to remove the social pressure you'd probably
           both feel as such.   you're asking this person to go out
           and have a meal, watch a movie, play pool, bowl, go swimming,
           golf, play tennis, play quake, etc etc whatever is the fancy.
           it's up to you...after all, if you think about it, there's
           only so much you can do with other people or another person.
           as a personal suggestion, dinner at a nice restaurant works
           ok although it doesn't rate highly in the originality department.
           and don't show up with roses or any sort of flowers, DO
           something else by all means.  flowers are a bit too cheesefuck
           for a first date...whatever the case, try not to label
           the event as a date when you are speaking to the person you
           want to ask out.    -- swings
                \_ excellent advice -- I've told a number of women that
                   I don't date (true) but we can go out and have fun,
                   hang out together, fly kites, etc. They're much more
                   receptive to the kite idea than one might think :)
