Girl Date or Date With a Girl?

Movie Night
Girl Date:  You watch your weathered copy of Fried Green Tomatoes while baking red velvet cupcakes.  Bust out the tissues!

Date with a Girl:  You watch a French art-house film that features a remarkable amount of nudity while nibbling on the classy cheese plate that compliments the bottle of Pinot you’re splitting.

Eating Out (ahem)
Girl Date:  You go out for pizza to catch up and talk about your shittyass jobs over beers.  You go sharesies on the ‘za, split a dessert so you don’t feel too guilty, and go 50/50 on the bill.

Date With a Girl:  She invites you out to a really nice sushi place where she impresses the shit out of you by ordering the house special yellowfin collar and a flight of cold sake samplers.  She picks up the bill.

Coffee
Girl Date:  You meet up for coffee and a hike with your dogs, during which you talk about your mutual interests.

Date with a Girl:  You meet up for coffee and a hike with your dogs, during which you talk about your mutual interests (and share meaningful glances).

Gay Friend
Girl Date:  You two meet up with your best gay friend and paint the town RAINBOW!!!!  The night ends with chicken and waffles and ridiculous cell phone pictures not to be shared.

Date with a Girl:  You two meet up with your best gay friend and his squeeze, getting collectively called “cute.”  The night features a good conversation, great food, and a very reasonable bedtime.

Dining In
Girl Date:  You experiment with a weird gluten-free cookbook and ultimately cave and order Chinese.  During the wait you do each other’s nails and troll facebook to see which of your friends has married someone ugly.

Date with a Girl:  You split a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc while making personal pizzas from scratch, which she’s incredibly good at. This devolves into a cutsie flour fight and Ghost-esque dough-kneading moment.

Night on the Town
Girl Date: You go to a friend’s album release show, dance with each other to deter sleaze balls and make sure no one roofies her drink while she pees.  After she drinks too much due to recent heartbreak, you take her home where you feast on late-night food truck tacos and both pass out in your bed, neither getting laid.

Date with a Girl:  You go to a warehouse for a super-secret show she found out about on Twitter.  You stay up for an all-night Downtown adventure, sipping on elaborate bourbon cocktails while talking about your childhood until the sun rises over a city of people way less cooler than you two, then have awesome public sex at 5 a.m.
