I'm always looking for good date ideas. Fall is here, so the arboretum is still an option but lost much of its luster. Food is fairly anhedonic in my opinion, but coffee or alcohol are great alternatives. Many of the local joints have couches and backrooms, and things can get fairly private.

Coffee date is fine, and may just default to the arboretum again, but I'm looking for suggestions. I considered an observatory, but the closest one is over an hour away. No zoos or aquariums around either, so those are out. No margaritas either, alas.

I'm looking for ideas, but I've also not dated a girl this young in awhile, either. She's an innocent sort, Bible belt and all that. Escalation is something I'm trying to work on too, so any general advice and techniques would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Start inviting girls to your place for a movie.

So many more guys would have an easier time with this and get laid a lot more if they'd just start doing dates at their place...

Would, though my place is not feasible. Without going into too many details as to what's going on in my neck of the woods, I'm working on resolving the issue. However I don't want to just put dating girls on the shelf until then, either.
