"adventures are always a good icebreaker, so let's find one to go on. whether that's doing the lamest tourist thing that you've secretly wanted to do forever just to have an unabashed good time or set a ridiculous bet on winning each round of mini golf that has to be completed by the end of the date. life's too short to just sit and eat, especially given how many food trucks give the option of eating on the run."

"the perfect date starts early, so the whole day's in front of us. now stay with me: first, a hardy breakfast to fill our bellies (maybe i'll make you french toast), then a drive somewhere so we can talk about nothing and listen to the radio and get to know each other. we reach our destination, the firebreak trail, then head up to the griffith observatory where i gently murder you / i mean, look at the views and enjoy a packed picnic."

"a perfect date consists of doing something fun and a little active. mad respect for a romantic dinner sitting across from each other playing 20 questions, but that's not the vibe i'm going for here. something that's equal parts fun, ridiculous, and a little disarming so we can get a feel for each other when we let loose a bit. i wanna see someone have fun, get excited, show their personality when defenses are dropped. then afterward we can chill out, grab drinks, or find a creative way to cool off together."
