Many have thanked me for suggesting pottery painting for a date.
I can't say painting pottery was a great date, but I guess it was revealing. One girl was quiet as a churchmouse and after being convinced to go out again, I took her pottery painting. This time rather than trying to pull teeth, I had something to keep busy with in the awkward (for me) silence. It was kind of surreal.
The best part is, when I picked up the pieces (there was no next date), I gave the little car change bank with her name on the license plate to my sister in law as a present! :D

And now I understand why you write what you write about her.

Thanks for the clarification *wink* *wink*

(Guess this means I'm never getting a shabbos invite to the Henche's)

She says he's invited.

(Perhaps only so she can yell at you)

(But really, if you come by Boston, we need to do a DO)

Unless you get a room. Although the girl may find that creepy/awkward/nice/fillintheblank.

So what's the deal with playing games on dates. Suppose to try or not? Does it make a difference if you are amazing at the game?

Nothing wrong with them at all, they are great, but if I for example were to play Foosball she'd never score so am I suppose to try?

Sure, why not? As far as I know, all my dating friends play games on dates. One thing to keep in mind (this may apply to your foosball example) - Someone once told me a great line. "Being good at pool (or whatever game...fill in the blank) is nice. Being too good is a sign of a wasted youth."  :)
