So you’ve slipped into their DMs, now it’s time to stop hiding behind a screen and invite them out on a real-life date. And if you play your cards right, you’ll soon be peeling your clothes off and filling their pie. Follow our foolproof advice below and they’ll be falling for you in no time, and no we’re not suggesting flinging a banana peel into their path and watching them take a tumble.
A whole bunch of fun
The ripe first impression will set you up for success. You may be thinking of getting them a bunch of flowers, but that’s so old fashioned. Go rogue and get a bunch of a different kind, by picking up some bananas en route to your date. You’ll go down in history with her gal pals, and forever be known as ‘that one guy who brought a bunch of bananas to a date’. And that’s gotta be a good thing right…right?
Pack the perfect picnic
So you’ve had a cheeky munch on their bouquet, and now it’s time to show them your banana. No, no, not like that. We mean that picnic you packed full of banana-based delicacies. Take your date to a secluded spot, and put down a blanket for m’lady…bonus points if you blindfold them on the journey there to keep the mystery. That’s sure to make them feel super comfortable around you.
Play with your banana
Want to get to know your date from stalk to tip? Lay all your cards on the table…literally, by playing a game. Open up a box of Fanatics Gone Bananas and you’ll soon figure out how rotten their sense of humor is. You’ll have an awesome time, as you laugh until your sides split from the entertaining prompts, and hilarious responses.
Seduce them with a snack
Is that a banana in your pocket, yes, it is actually, thank you for asking. Make sure you bring a snack in your knapsack, and don’t forget one for the lucky lad or lady as well. After walking and talking for an extended period of time, you might find yourself feeling a little peckish. It’s the perfect time to whip out those pocket bananas.
Fruity flirting
You’ve spent the entire time mansplaining and being oblivious to how you’ve not asked her a single question about herself. Looks like it’s about time to throw out a few token pick up lines that’ll make her peel good. Need some inspiration? Here’s one for free: “Hey babe, are you a carpenter? Because you just made a banana stand.”
Cook up something sweet
Sure you act peel-y tough on the outside, but we know you’re secretly all mushy inside. Let them get to know the real you by inviting them over to your place, and dazzling them with a romantic home-cooked dinner. A candlelight meal, a smattering of rose petals, and some smooth moves later, and they’ll be discovering how you put the ass in potassium.
Let’s never split
If things are going well and you like them a whole bunch, it won’t be long before you want to take it to the next level. Ahh, it seems like only yesterday you were meeting for coffee for the first time, and now you’re picking out bananas of optimum ripeness in Walmart together during the weekly grocery shop. Who said romance was dead?
