Theory 7: NO day-dates unless it’s the BEACH
Repeat after me ... there is absolutely no chance of kissing a girl on a day date ... there is absolutely no chance of kissing a girl on a day date ... there is absolutely no chance of kissing a girl on a day date ... there is absolutely no chance of kissing a girl on a day date ...
On day dates the chances are you’re at a fairground, or having a picnic or something equally “Christian”. I mean, come on, when was the last time you scored on a day date [Note: the readers probably haven’t scored before because they’re geeks [Note: remember to delete that before this is published [Note: and this … [Note: and this …]]]] … GNU Not Unix … GNU Not Unix …
Ok, I’m back, the beach is acceptable only because it lets you check out their “genetic healthiness”. But watch out for the sand getting kicked in your face etc … possibly a worthwhile risk?
A much safer option to go with is …
Theory 8: Meet for a drink after work but NOT dinner
It’s easy. It’s safe. It’s quick. It will give you a little “Dutch courage” (I'll talk about THAT more in a future post) and it gives you an early exit option if she turns out to be a bit more Jabba the Hutt than Princess Leia! ... "Oh, sorry, look at the time, I have to go, I'm meeting friends for dinner." Not only is this a face-saving exit-strategy but it says you're so popular you have to plan multi-stage evenings ... oh ... and of course that you have friends!
The best nights are Monday through Wednesday but not Thursday, that’s late night shopping and I heard there was a special on the latest Star Wars characters at Myers. Friday night = NOT DATE NIGHT! Simple. It’s Drinks with friends night? Friday-Night-Footy night? Work drinks night? Anything but date-night. And besides, only Geeks have nothing already planned for a Friday night. And lastly, I know you really want to work on Saturday and Sunday on that latest project of yours, just don’t, so they’re not technically work-nights. And besides, isn't there something better to be doing Saturday through Sunday night ... like a 24 hour LAN party!
If in doubt, follow this table;
| Night | Date night? | Why? |
| Monday | Yes | Easy. Safe. You’re not suspiciously available. |
| Tuesday | Yes | As per Monday night. |
| Wednesday | Yes | As per Monday night. |
| Thursday | No | Late night shopping and I heard there was a special on the latest Star Wars characters at Myers. |
| Friday | No | Only Geeks have nothing already planned for a Friday night! |
| Saturday | No | Normal people don’t work on Saturday/Sunday so it’s not technically an after-work night. And before you ask, playing Doom ≠ Work! |
| Sunday | No | As per Saturday night. |
As for what to "do" while you're having a drink ... well, surprise, surprise ... you drink! But always, I repeat, always … and thanks to “The Daves” for this one but …
Theory 9: Drink BEER
Not namby-pamby cocktails or champagne! Not only are they totally "girly" but there is a real risk you'll get too pissed (that's drunk for the American audience) and you wouldn't want to yammer on about yourself too much (I'll talk about THAT in a future post too). Now, you don’t have to be too brutish and drink Tooheys New but be wary of a Corona with lemon. Chicks like Men. Usually. And Men like Beer. And if she doesn’t like Men, sorry, I can’t help ... but um ... errr ... what’s her number? It's for a friend I swear! ...
