The 'good date ideas' thread

Bar for tomorrow night? Book Club is wank.

Run by incompetent helmets

Yes, but that's 99% of all shoreditch bars.

Nah - this is a treasure hunt alleycat, not speed based, it's all about creativity and working out clues.

So come along anyway. You can join my team.

Bar for tomorrow night? Book Club is cool.

Can't hear myself think in that place!

Admittedly that's not something I have to worry about often.

"Pisti, the expert on Shoreditch bars." :)

Is there anything Pisti isn't an expert on?

I met someone on a dating site and we met in Shoredtich at 1am, rode to brighton, had a full english then a nap, then went to the pub at 10am and got pissed. She turned out not to be "the one" but it was loads of fun.

That's top of the pops.

what I want to know is did the OP get a date or what?

surely Bestival will be a score?

^variations on that theme are acceptable..(lunch is packed)

Hemingford Arms on a Monday night, table of old guys playing chilled blues/folk music live but at volume you can have a nice conversation over not a first date kinda place but a good date.

^ I used to live a few minutes from that pub, the people sitting outside always looked so sickeningly happy and successful and content with life.

but has the OP scored or not?

MDMA.

Best date ever.
Even if your date never shows up.

Even if it doesn't start as a date it will end as one. Trufax.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned lecool or run riot yet. Both good sources of ideas every week. Don't a couple of guys from here or rlpz write for them? I recall something somewhere...

coffee, wine and football.

tru, tru.

Is a good date one where you enjoy getting to know the person and if you are compatible?

Jeez. Aspirational, much? I'm lucky if if doesn't end in shouting, accidents and a crywank.

I've been having a dating dabble and a nice time, thanks!

oh, good to hear it, keep it up, if everything goes terribly badly you could end up in a relationship

after 23 years, can feel like a life sentence.. :P

I think with that advice im going back to trying to chew my arm off in the morning before the orienteering of shame.

Gordons Wine Bar is worth checking out just off from Embankment Station...

for what?
