my move used to be taking them out to this very affordable, half-hidden mexican joint where a bunch of the seasonal agricultural workers go, because i could show off my functional spanish-speaking skills since nobody there spoke english. the food is awesome. they've gotten more popular though and relocated to a more formal restaurant space (instead of this weird strip mall cubby), so servers now have strong english and the menu has english on it. the food is still awesome,
i don't really do restaurants anymore, but it does seem like a meal is the expectation for a lot of people here, if not a bar or a cafe. i don't drink-drink anymore and i'm not a coffee person, so i get to be immediately weird by having weak tea or water or tonic water and then having to explain my health choices or how the i think US annihilated its "third places" to induce more commercial activity and dismantle community resistance of capital formations.
i guess it's better to let them know immediately that i am incapable of what people generally refer to as normal conversation.
I have a lot of nostalgia for Chili's actually. I would be secretly stoked. I need a friggin frozen marg over here!

I would usually go to an all you can eat place so you can shoot the shit while nibbling on things for a couple of hours if it was going well
I wonder if the answers would be different it the question asked the surveyee to assume that they're splitting the bill.
I can do worse
those are all terrible places
Honestly I expected worse
Is this ranked like #1 is worse than #5 or is #5 worse than #1 and #1 is just the limit.
Because if #1 is considered the worst then this entire list is upside down. Other than that, idk, I haven't been on a first date in over a decade. Definitely been to these places at request of my partner when in a relationship.
My last first date lasted 3 days when she got snowed in at my bachelor pad with nothing but liquor and stale bagels to eat.
I’m fascinated by this story, because it sounds like my worst nightmare. When I was single I usually couldn’t wait for a first date to end. What was the situation like on day 3? Awkward?
Not really, we just talked the whole time. She showed me a couple shows she liked and we just stayed up till like 2am every night talking about everything we could think of. The first time I met her I left a date I was on to go talk about unions so that helped.
Didn't make any moves which apparently she was confused by, but of course in my mind I was thinking "if this goes wrong there's nowhere else for either of us to go". Not like it matters anyways, we'll have been together for 6 years come December lol
Parks >>>>>>>>>>>>> sites of purchasing commodities
I dont date so idc really.
If you like olive garden go to olive garden. If tou dont, avoid it.
Cheesecake Factory is actually goated for dates.
I think a lot about stuff like this with Family Feud. Just seems like common denominators because these are the places that exist everywhere and are popular.
