Are you prepared for your date?!? This question came to me when I was talking to a buddy of mine, who managed to pull a number close not long ago. He was going to call her and setup a date. I asked him simply, "Where are you taking her?" He said, "I don't know what do you think?"
PUA SHUTTLE, this is PUA GROUND CONTROL you have a problem! My response was you know your city better than I do, but if I'm wrong go online and check out citysearch because it has reviews of places.
Guys you should have several "good" to "awesome" date locations in your back pocket ready to go at a moments notice. He was surpised when I told him I have the phone numbers to 5 different restaurants on my phone where I frequent and know to call ahead and make reservations at. These are places that have a nice SPAM, comfortable, I know some of the staff, and are some of the "more" recommended places in town. Granted they don't have to be 'expensive' to be good either. Just have some taste.
The days you aren't out sarging go out and try out some local hotspot restaurants. Get opinions on them from women that you know. The reason I found most of these places is women took me there and I liked them. When I take a woman there on a date I typically get compliments on my taste.
My favorite place in Nashville I found is a place called Cabana that is a modern bar, big beer & wine listing, with tables where you can watch DVD's on a flat screen, or even listen to your iPod mix while you eat. The place is incredibly relaxed with throw pillows in the booths. I've personally seen people like the Dixie Chicks (say what you want) and Reba McEntire in there while on dates, huge DHV spike!

Bottom line go out find some nice places that aren't too expensive and a good SPAM. Know when the better days of the weeks to go there as well. That way if you want to setup a date on the fly while you are in the field, you are prepared!!!
