Valentine's Date Spots: Your Guide
Today's Groupon can help you win over the Valentine you've secretly been swooning over, but once you schedule your first date, you have to decide how to spend it. Here's a guide to some common Valentine's Day date spots:
Restaurant: Sharing a meal together is the ultimate first-date choice, but isn't it also a bit obvious? Spice up going to the restaurant of your date's choice by proclaiming "[Name of Restaurant]? I own [Name of Restaurant]!" Then, when you arrive for your meal, insist on entering through the back door. Confused busboys will respect you for your boldness, excited waiters will compete to serve you, and easily swayed police officers will draw portraits of you in their little notebooks instead of arresting you.
Picnic in the Park: Another obvious choice with some unobvious pitfalls. First, chances are good that your Valentine is gazebophobic, which means that he/she will set any nearby gazebos on fire with his or her thoughts. Secondly, it's only a matter of time before violent animosity between geese and street-performing mimes spills over from the Internet and into our public parks.
Laser Light Show: This romantic spot for a first date is where many of our parents met, nestled under the warm glow of the planetarium dome, enchanted by machine-controlled fog, and surrounded by drug-addled teens. The sensory overload is sure to have your Valentine falling head over heels for you, but watch out for low-hanging lasers.
