"So, what do you want to do?" answer "I don't know, what do you want to do."
Does the above sound like you? Don't worry, I have some quick ideas that should suit both your date's every taste and your budget.
Victory's suggestions:

1. For the intellectual-adventurous. BODIES...The Exhibition - features more than 250 real, whole, and partial human body specimens providing an up-close look inside the skeletal, muscular, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory, and other systems of the human body. Nov. 7-March 1, 9 a.m.-8 p.m. $16-$24- Atlantic Station Exhibition Center. www.bodiestickets.com
Personal note: I've been to this exhibition in both Atlanta and New York City. The real bodies have been preserved via amazing technology and skillful artists. You will be taken through a series of rooms that are sure to not only educate you but also kick-start an interesting conversation between you and your date.

Personal note: This is a truly funky atmosphere. You will enjoy just relaxing "in the cut" while listening to some undiscovered talent. Your date will appreciate your artistic flair. Also, tomorrow on Friday November 7th, there is an album release party for Soul, Rock singer, songwriter and performer Kameron Corvet! He'll be performing songs off his new sophomore album "Korporate Rockstar". (pic above is Kameron Corvet)

Food and drinks are complimentary. Fri., Nov. 7, 7 p.m. $100, 404-873-3911, www.glarts.org. Mason Murer Projects, 325 E.

5. For the sexy-new. Cocktails and Conversation M Bar, Featuring $5 martinis and mojitos. 257 Peters St., Atlanta (West End/Atlanta University), Friday & Saturday: 4 p.m. - 2:30 a.m. www.mbaratlanta.com
Personal note: This place is small but with the right company, it can be very sexy. Wear your cutest comfortable outfit and prepare to have a lot of conversations throughout the night. This place is quickly becoming a hang out spot for the young and sexy crowd. But shhhh... not everyone knows about it.

Remember guys, when it comes to making plans, nothing impresses a lady more than a guy who is asking us out with options already in hand. Wait, I'm wrong! Actually, there is one more thing that will impress us more when planning a date, and that's if you ask us at least one day prior to taking us out. We don't like to feel like we are a last minute option. Try to make every Thursday the last day you ask your prospective date for their weekend company. I guarantee better results this way.
Have fun and happy activity-filled dating! (And remember to report back to me. I love hearing your stories.)
