Okay, y'all remember last year, when I set up that surprise lunch for a female friend of mine? To recap: I reserved the DLU dinner theatre, had flowers, light music, bottle of SoBe on ice, the works, then sat her down and broke out the paper plates and peanut butter. Oh, and she LOVES peanut butter sandwiches, before anyone asks about that again. Well, we both had a great time, I'd like to do the same thing again, but in a different place so that she doesn't see it coming. So I need locations that she wouldn't expect to have lunch in that are still rather cool places to have lunch. One suggestion I got was to just find some nice outdoor scenery and set up a table, which might work. An idea that I had was to find some nice tall building downtown that had a good view and that would let me borrow an empty room for an hour. Even an empty office would serve my purposes fine. If you have any other suggestions for a location where I might execute such a meal, they would be greatly appreciated. I don't really know whether I want anything to happen with this girl, but, hey, couldn't hurt.

I'd ask help from the show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for this... perhaps you can even get a makeover.
Also, where are you at?

I see a potential flaw in this plan. What if she thinks you might be planning to surprise her? If she gets her hopes up, then gets "surprised" by the exact same thing you did before, you'll look pretty unoriginal, despite the change in scenery.
Personally, I'd recommend coming up w/ a completely different idea if you actually want to seem impressive.
But, then, I'm the expert on this sort of thing, aren't I?

Yeah, I considered that. I'll probably change a few things, of course. And any other suggestions for impressing females would also be appreciated.
Oh, and I'm in Nashville.

Drive to Knoxville. Visit the Wigsphere. Buy a talking Al Gore doll.

I remember the meal thing. I saw this new thread title and though "Christ, now what does the kid want? Sex tips? And if so, why's he asking here?" 8)
I'd agree, though, that while a change of location is nice, pulling the same schtick again might not swing. That's the kind of thing you do when you're a long-established couple (of course, if you actually view yourselves as a long-established couple, then go ahead); Kate and I have lots of little in-jokes and things like this. But to actually impress her. . . needs something more.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Already taken care of. And SoBe is a Pepsi-made sugar water that comes in glass bottles, several different flavors. She likes Pina Colada.
