Starbucks

It seems that Starbucks is always a good choice. Whether you're just there for the few minutes it takes to get a coffee, or planning on sitting there for a while, you really can't go wrong. The ambiance is generally a nice one, and there are some that have extremely comfortable chairs and couches.

In addition, it also says something about the relationship. If your goal is to shmooze somewhere that's not a hotel lobby, that is a statement in itself. Or maybe it is testament to the comfort level you feel with the other person, in that you don't need to always be doing something. Maybe you like that delicious Starbucks smell and are really sharing something a notch higher on the "intimate scale." Could be that you enjoy sitting around watching other people...guessing their life story, silently judging them, whatever floats your boat. Either way, there is ample room for any of these reasons, but the most important being that you enjoy spending time in the company of the person you are with.

Would you ever invite the Starbucks staff to your engagement for all the service they provided and the effect they might have had on you finding your soul mate? Now that would be "repayment."

Thank you Starbucks.

Target, thats right.

Those living in NJ can appreciate how little there is to do around there in the winter time. Aside from lobbies, and food, there isn't much to actually do. Yes, theres bowling or maybe billiards but on a Saturday night it tends to be crowded and second hand smoke is an added bonus.

The following idea might not work for everyone but when it works, it really works: TARGET. I myself had fun leasurely going up and down some of the isles and looking at the random items they have. Be it toys, tents, or towels theres always something interesting around. If you are really bold, there are pillows that are very swingable. ;)

Another fantasticle store along the same lines of interest is The Christmas Tree, located off of route 4 Westbound. It is open until 10:00pm and has a Bed Bath & Beyond located on the second floor.

Hope this helps!
