Oh man, talk about romanticising the past! My first date the other night couldn't fit in my fixedbacks. Funny how someone posts body type as "normal" with all kinds of athletic activities but can't fit in a Momo Corse.

It was a short date.

Chavez Ravine...never take intellectual women to places they know better than you. Tell her you got the tickets from a friend, enjoy the weather and the surroundings. Expand her experiences. If she's smart, she'll get it. After the game, then be hip.

They still have Boxing at the Olympic?????

Can't miss....

Coffee at the Rock House on Mullhuland any Sat or Sunday morning if she drives a WRX.
You certainly won't lack of thing to talk about between the freaky cars, bikes and people who show up driving them.
If that clicks theres only about a million great drives from there. A nice day trip to Santa Barbara is a great drive up the coast, some spirited driving but enough equal time for quiet and conversations.

From the Kingston Trio's "Hungry i" live album: "Actually, L.A. is an intellectual town. We were lucky enough to have run into him the last time we were there."

OK, things i know..

She wont like baseball, (actually it bores me too).. Chavez Ravine.. out
She doesnt drink/drugs (big plus in my book).. hate bars anyway

Getty seems cool

Museum of jurassic Tech looks cool

I was kind of thinking of maybe driving down P.C.H. to newport, find some good seafood restaurant.

Zoo. Perfect mixture of intellectual stimulation and classic romance. Tried and true date.

drive to San Francisco

Huntington library, they have one of the oldest and largest botanical gardens in the world... very romantic for walking and talking. Close to old town Pasadena, lots of cool options for dinner in that area. They have Indian places or if you are into sushi I recommend japon bistro. Pasadena brewing company has great food and decor even if you don't drink the beer (that is really good too)

Or Norton Simon art museum is already right there in Old town Pasadena you could spend the day there and the walk down to all the cool shops and restaurants.

Huntington Beach is very cool if you want more of a beach style.

No, I am not in any way affiliated with the Huntington family!

How about drive up hwy 1 to Malibu? Dinner/lunch at Galdstones?

The Huntington Library idea is a winner. Didn't know anything about that, but will soon...with my wife of 25 years.

Ditto on the Huntington, I practically grew up there. My Mom's looong time boyfriend was the Botanical Curator at the Huntinton. You can spend hours there. The gardens are great (the junge garden is a cool place to be on a hot summer day- sitting by the waterfall) but there are also world-class museums on the grounds. There is also a little cafe there for lunch. Not for an evening date but great for an afternoon.
Check out the Japanese garden, many movies shot there.

scottmandue 06-11-2005 09:10 AM

Not to be a nit picker but I think you guys mean MOCA not moma...
Scott here (resident museum geek)

Huntington library has not been a first date place for me... but a first serious date with a gal I really like place, never took a lady there that was not very impressed.
As was said, Japanese garden is awesome, cactus garden is awesome (even if you don't like cactus), pools, water falls, museum (they have a Gutenburg (sp?) bible and the original blue boy) the whole friggin place is just awesome.

yes, we're going to need scorecards.

Programs! Get your programs! Can't tell the players without your Program!

For starters, avoid the west side of L.A. at all costs. With very few exceptions, the entire west side of L.A. blows. To play it safe, I'd say don't cross Rossmore/Vine. ;)

Take her downtown and have dinner in Chinatown, then walk up Olivera Street and buy her a trinket. Try to keep your mouth shut, let your actions/choices do the talking, I absolutely guarantee this course of action. If she doesn't appreciate you after that, you know what to do.

Oh yeah, concentrate on whether you really like her, not whether she likes you. You have very little to say in that matter. Have fun.

Big Fish (or whatever its called in Malibu (about a mile north on PCH from Pepperdine is a good (cheap) place to eat and talk and then drive PCH.
