Recommended Activities To Do On a Date:
- See how many star tattoos you can count while walking around Williamsburg, Brooklyn. You can compete against your date or work as a team. Each star counts as a point. This tattoo choice is especially difficult because there are so many in that neighborhood and people tend to get multiple stars on their body for some reason. (Hint: take a look at their feet and wrists too!) Advanced techniques include Tramp Stamps (lower back) on girls and Gaelic arm tattoos on guys being negative points. It's always a great laugh to poke fun at people that may be cooler than yourself.....and it'll bring you closer.
- Go to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden for the Cherry Blossom Festival and see what happens to your date dynamic while sober, surrounded by pink flowers, a cajillion strollers, old people, tourists and Japanese Anime characters. Guaranteed to weed out a weakling in this 'survival of the fittest' date test. If he passes this not so natural selection, take him back to your apartment and prove there's more to you than a lover of botany.
- Have a Ms. Pac Man Challenge. (a bar's status immediately goes up when they have this awesome game.) It's the ultimate feminist video game. Ms.Pac Man totally rulzz over the inferior boy version. It'll get your adrenaline pumping as you chase after the ghosts, gobble up the dots and go after the banana. Plus it's super romantic. That part where they meet and chase each other around and have a Pac Make-out after Act 1 gets me every time. If you've been dating for a while, try to get to Act 3 where a little Pac bundle is dropped by a stork. See if your date gets uncomfortable.
- Going to see mellow Jazz music. At least not on a first or second date. These are crucial "getting to know you" sessions that really require actual conversation. And unless you get totally worked up by a moody jazz piano or just enjoy taking naps in the middle of your dates, I wouldn't recommend this activity. I'm just saying, if the majority of the date consists of you gazing into the eyes of a scraggly-faced saxophone player instead of the guy who took you there....you may be in trouble.
- Coffee. or Lunch. I'm a huge fan of both of these activities but not for a date. There is absolutely nothing sexy about eating in the middle of the day. (UNLESS you've slept in past noon with your lover and after little sleep and lots of late night activity, you are just FAMISHED and it's your first meal of the day......But never mind. Because then that's brunch. And brunch is terrifically sexy.) And coffee can be sexy too......if it's raining outside. And you've just narrowly escaped a massive downpour and as you breathlessly shut the cafe doors behind you you spot the handsome gent in a corner table where you strip off your damp, outer clothes in a flurry and toss your bedraggled hair off your bare shoulders and slip into the seat he has waiting for you along with a steaming cup of java he's already ordered for you with two perfect lumps of raw sugar and a little container of cream next to the miniature spoon with a dark chocolate truffle nuzzled at the end and he then tells you how gorgeous you look when flushed. Oh. And you're in a foreign city - preferably Paris. But otherwise - it feels a little college study partner-y or has the 'I have to meet up with my mother's friend from out of town who I'm forced to entertain for the afternoon' effect.
- Attending a wedding together. Unless you are an established couple who has actually had the "marriage conversation" and have come out unscathed and comfortable where your relationship stands, this could be an especially tricky one to navigate. I've gotten a little nervous lately because I know that Smarty Pants has a wedding this summer for some friends and has mentioned it a couple times. Lord knows I love getting all dolled up and getting free food and drinks are at the tops of my favorites list but I just don't think I'm ready for something like that just yet. Plus - weddings are for hooking up. Duh. Everyone knows that.

| Cute applique in felt of Pacman and Ms Pacman in love. Contrasting stitching and a yellow back to match the Pacman pair. Zipped at the bottom for washing - hand wash only though! Be sure to check out my other listings as I've also listed Inky, Binky, Pinky, and Clyde (the ghosts that feature in the Pacman games). Fits a cushion of up to 14"x14". The cushion isn't included, although I can include one at an additional cost. I'm constantly working on additional designs, so keep an eye out. If you'd like a set of two covers let me know and I can create another one for you. |
| I love that she makes the ghosts too. That only seems right. Hand wash only though! |
