I ordered extra large once at McD's so we could share the fries. Does that count?

unzipped my fly loudly and waggled my eyebrows at her?

Made her go to a franchise restaurant and told the waitress that it was her birthday and she's a bit special, and could they sing happy birthday and give her a birthday hat.

Let her order first and then when the waiter looks at you sigh loudly and say that "I guess I'll just have a glass of water thanks"

Start tweeting about your date while you're on the date. "Hang on babe just got to do a selfy with this beer for my tweets"

Please only use these tips if you don't want the relationship to go any further.

Book a reservation ahead of time and MAKE SURE to tell them it's her 'birthday'. Call again just to confirm the day of the date.

I've found that 90% of restaurants will give you a free desert. This is a great way of figuring out whether the woman is a keeper or not.

A good woman will appreciate your ingenuity and a GREAT woman will appreciate the fact that you saved $8 on a piece of cheesecake. If she's put off by it, then it's time to find a new woman.

my wife LOVES cadbury cream eggs

a while ago we were going thru the checkout at superstore and i grabbed a cream egg for the cashier to ring thru. once it had gone thru i took it and tossed it to my wife and at the same time said, "happy anniversary!" she caught it and just sorta laughed and rolled her eyes. the cashier glared at me.... so maybe stay clear of cream eggs

...and no, it wasn't our anniversary. i went all out for that a couple months later and got her a 3-pack of cream eggs!

When the cheque comes I ask my date if she wants to split the cheque in half. That way neither one of us feels obligated to do anything, or that we owe each other anything. Then I tell her that if she sleeps with me, I will reimburse her for her portion of dinner. I will offer to cover the tip, but I hope she says I don't have to. It's more natural that way.

In all seriousness and depending on the restaurant, contact them way before the date and tell them its a special occasion and see if you can pre-select the wine and the food choices. So when you get there they just serve you.

Make sure that you pick out the food she really likes so it shows that you're paying attention.

flowers are nice, but you really want to give those too her before you leave the restaurant so she can leave them at home and not have to carry them around.

Pick a nice wine, see if you can find out what her wine selection favorites are.

If you do the meal planning see if you can get smaller portions in multiple courses for some reason this spurs on more conversation and taking more time to enjoy the flavors instead of the two of you shoveling steak into your cake holes.

If she dresses up, you dress up more, and not in a dress if you know what I mean.

If she loves the food and wine and gets that dreamy look on her face that girls get when you've hit a home run, reach out, unzip your fly loudly and waggle your eyebrows.

Trust me bro it works, and you've paid like major bucks for this so she owes you man.

Definitely this.

But, if you are expected to live up to an unrealistic expectation, at least you will find out it's the wrong girl early on.

I turn slightly sideways in my chair and admire the architecture while the check just sits there.

I can look at ceilings all night long and a good contest of wills is good for the digestion.

So do that, and if she agrees to sleep with you, when you'redone that hand her an expense report and pen when you're in that snuggle post coitus stage of things and remind her that she needs to attach a receipt because your mother in accounting is a real stickler for that.

Congratulations you've had dinner, sex and flying lessons right out the window

Great night.

Make sure you know your girl. My wife HATES being the centre of attention. If I mention to the staff that its her birthday or make her the centre of attention I'm a dead man.

Doesn't the Grizzly house have a private booth where you're encouraged to have sex during the dinner?

Make sure when taking your GF out for a nice dinner, that you choose a place not frequented by your wife and her friends. Also make sure you have cleaned out your car, chicks don't like playing ball in a messy car

Suggest Swiss Chalet.

If she agrees, she's a keeper.
