Put It Together!
Dr. Love is BACK! Took a vacation to the Bahamas, ate and drank like a king, Ripped some Lip, and now I’m back on the keyboard with racks of data.
Recently, I’ve had a few buddies ask me about what to do on their dates. It’s a great question, and most often, guys simply fail at “Putting it Together.” Like a well thought out outfit, a date isn’t simply a one piece suit, it consists of layers and textures, so if you’re thinking that dinner alone will impress, go take your mom out.
Women want a guy, at least on the first date, to take some initiative. Her maternal instincts are grading you on whether or not you have the ability to actually ‘look ahead’ and PLAN. Guys who falter at the starting line, will never see the checkered flag, so take a few minutes and figure it out.
On the first date, 90% of the date should be something simple, such as going to dinner, but the second part of the evening is where you throw in a little ‘You.’ Dinner is the basic jeans and nice shirt, but you want to stand out among the other thousands of SF fellas looking to investigate her drawers…
Here are some great after dinner options in the city to help you stand out from the crowd.
** Skip dessert at the table and head over to Ghiradelli Square. It’s somewhat touristy, but the people there keep the vibe upbeat and exciting, and no girl’s going to say no to sharing a chocolate sundae with you while looking out onto the moonlit bay.
( Come here after a dinner in Russian Hill. Mix Frascati and a trip down here, and you’ve just leveled up my friend)
** Make her think. SF is loaded with great intellectual spots. A romantic, beautiful place for an after dinner chat and view is the Hamon Tower at the DeYoung. This view gazing locale with a 360 degree panorama of SF is a quiet spot for a one on one with plenty of options to talk about. Plus, a little hardwood slow dance is always in the cards.
(Come here after a dinner at Spruce, and you’ve just mounted your head on the “Ultimate Prized Possessions” block.
Ya know what they say, a cupcake isn’t complete without some sprinkles. Gotta spinkle a lil love onto that benign dinner date to really add some PO PO ZAO to the mix.
So the next time you’re planning that date, Put It All Together. Make the combo match, just like you would make your outfit match. Streamline the date, be assertive, and sprinkle a lil some some onto that date.
