Hi OK Stupid,<\/em><\/p>\n
I think your site is very helpful and informative. Using your advice I wrote a woman a message and now we have a date. Gulp. Where do I take an online date?<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a common question for those new to the online dating scene. Typical first dates are at coffee shops or bars. We suggest going a different route and having your first online date in the middle of an open field. Preferably one\u00a0surrounded\u00a0by trees.<\/p>\n
Arrive at your date location at least an hour in advance, but do not enter the field. Stay hidden in the trees and bring a set of high powered binoculars.<\/p>\n
Online dating is cesspool of lies and the first lies are your dates photos. By staking out the area you can watch the little vixen arrive. Does she look like the cute woman in the photos? Does she have a limp? Is she armed?<\/p>\n
You’ll know you found a good match when you don’t spot her in the field but see her perched in a tree across from you with a scope pressed to her eye.<\/p>\n
