I once took a woman on a first date to a place where you get paintbrushes and paints, and you paint on a blank coffee mug or plate. They fire it in a kiln, and you pick up your work of art a week later. It was cool cause having an activity to do kind of took off some of the awkward "interview" pressure of just sitting there staring at each other. But unlike a movie or sporting event, it's easy to talk whenever you want. And then zone out when you want and just focus on painting for a bit. Also, I've been married to that woman for seven years.
