This episode was really fun to write, it brought back a lot of fun memories.

Let’s get started…

Scene: Date Night

Thursday 7:02 PM

It’s date night, you’ve done your pre-date ritual, and you’re on your way to the venue.

It’s the middle of the week, it’s a first date, you chose a “hip, low-key bar with good music, that doesn’t get too packed” as starting spot, and already have a second bar in mind for a change of scenery (this is key).

Sidenote: I will eventually publish a “venue selection primer,” but for now, your goal is to find a place that is no more than a 10-15 min UBER ride from your apartment (walking distance is ideal), that fits the description above.

You were feeling a little generous tonight, so you decided to show up early to the venue instead of late, and you choose to sit up a the bar to talk to the wait staff before your date arrives.

THIS IS KEY
