If you were closer to downtown, I’d say the zoo or the aquarium. That’s quite a drive from 1960/woodlands, but maybe I’ll give you an idea for round two? Besides who doesn’t still like those place?[/quote]
Goddamnit the zoo might actually be a good idea. Probably a 20-30 minute drive there and back, which gives us…maybe an hour. Not very long to spend at the zoo.
Good idea though.

How about a stroll in the park. You can push the kids stroller and earn some points. A little conversation is probably the best thing to go for, given your time frame. Swings and slides are always fun. I’m from Houston as well. Let us know what you decide.[/quote]
That’s what we did last week 
We went to Jesse Jones Park and swung on the swings, then walked back to the Cypress swamp at which point we came under attack by mosquitos and were forced to go back to the car.

This might sound self-centered, but I HATE the aquarium. It’s just so boring to me and my ex used to make me go. So no. Thanks though.

IMO, your options are limited with the helmet-sporting baby tagging along. Can’t take him to the movies, can’t take him to Chuck-Es, can’t take him to Hooters, can’t take him to lunch, you really can’t take him anywhere. Tough call. A picnic, or BBQ out on some lake or park is a sound option. [/quote]
Actually, the first time we got together–a couple weeks ago–we went to Hooters. The kids weird–he almost never cries.

No, I really do enjoy her son. Which is funny because I’m usually not a big fan of children. Maybe it’s just because I like HER, I dunno. He drools constantly and I find it delightfully entertaining.
I remember a lot of things in Houston being free. The very Americanized Japanese garden, some temple-like meditation structure, Contemporary Museum, and other small architectural places. There was one gallery by a fairly well known architect, I can’t remember who, that has a cool vented roof.

I was thinking the exact same thing as I read itchy’s post. Great minds think alike
I always do coffee for a first date
Thanks everyone. We decided to go to the zoo after lunch. I juggled some stuff around at work and bought myself an extra hour and a half to spend with her.

The movies with a 8mo old kid?? Nah dude don’t do it to yourself.
Picnic by a lake if there are any lakes in your area, the breeze from the lake will diffuse the heat. Plus if its secluded enough you might be able to get a HJ under the blanket.[/quote]
I re-read after and realized it was an 8 month old I actually edited my post but for some stupid reason it didnt take.
movies is a bad idea, things like picnics and zoo is good.
be careful though, youll find yourself moving pretty fast when the kid starts liking you and specially when you start liking the kid.
better be sure because your not only getting rid of her but your getting rid of the kid and sometimes thats harder to do.
I know from my ex wife and my stepdaughter.

Nah, the kid probably can’t swim yet.[/quote]
I agree. His helmet will probably make him sink.
(too soon?)

cause its cheap?
or cause the caffiene acts as a stimulant and the other person and you are more likely to be more talkative from drinking it?
plus the coffee-shits afterwards may gain sooner entry to her house if she is the type who wont use a public restroom for #2.
you seem to have this all figured out you maniacal suitor, you.

Yeah, I’ve thought about that already. My best friend just broke up with his gf of 4 years and he said he’s going to miss her kids more than anything.

I’m paranoid about my breath stinking when I drink coffee.

The direction of this thread is a little creepy, but let’s consider that she’ll also have coffee-breath.
Personally, I like ice cream- kids like it, girls like it, I like it. We can always get coffee at a place that has ice cream and vice-versa.
If she’s feeling frisky, let her invite you over for dinner, drinks, etc. There being equality in relationships, etc., let her come up with ideas.
Plus, if she wants to go there, I’m sure that straight talk about how to further the relationship (given the presence of the child) is not unreasonable. Just be polite. Saying things like, ‘The kid is getting in the way’ will not score you points (not that you, personally, would say this) with her.
I think that bringing it up satisfies that ‘the Man Shall Lead’ preference some women have, but also balances her need to care for her child.
so…how did it go?
There are some golden posts on this thread right here.

Well. We ended up not going to the zoo because it was too fucking hot to be walking around in the sun. We had lunch, then went to the Marble Slab for ice cream. Then she kep asking about this place at the river I had mentioned before so I took her there to see it. Er, she took me there (she drove).
Funny, it seemed like we ran out of time really quick, though we were together for about 4 hours. On Saturday she had plans but apparently got out of them and called me to see if I wanted to hang out but I was in Livingston (l 1/2 hours away) drinking some beers with my cousin. I didn’t talk to her on Sunday but she messaged me at 700 today: “Good morning, Sunshine. How was your weekend?”
So, all in all I’d say things went better than planned. Probably cuz I’m such a G.
Thanks for the advice, guys.
