    Funny Ikea Ad The Perfect Mom - Watch more free videos

    This morning, I dropped the kids at school and made my way over to Ikea. Or the Mothership as I like to call it.
    It's such a useful store, that I had in my mind that it must surely open at 8am for people with an urgent need for more white towels (me) or shoddy furniture (anyone >30)
    In reality, turns out it opens at 10am.

    BUT, all was not lost as the restaurant was open. And this is where the magic started.
    A reasonably tasty breakfast of scrambled eggs, home fries and bacon plus a really decent cup of coffee was procured for $1.07
    How ridiculous is that?

    I ate my breakfast surrounded - and I am not exaggerating when I say surrounded - by Red Hook hipsters, Red Hook teamsters and sundry construction workers.
    Now there's been a few people lamenting about the cost of dating of late, both on Date Machine and Hooksexup Confessions, so it struck me that breakfast at Ikea was a perfect first date solution. Ludicrously cheap food, views of the river and Manhattan, clean bathrooms. What more could one wish for?

    Then it occurred to me that said daters could sneak off into the cordoned off store to extend their date in private.
    And that's how I came up with today's feature:

    How the Date Machine Bloggers Date at Ikea.

  • Date Machine: Kissing on the First Date

    I get bored on first dates. Everyone hedges their bets on a first date. The safest choice is always a drink or a cup of coffee where you can interview each other from an acceptable distance. I don't really mind being direct with people about the things I've experienced and the thoughts those experiences have left me with. But going over the checklist of your life from schooling to the special relationship you have with your grandparents seems like something that would be entirely wasted on a stranger. I'm not sure how the exchange of intimate information is somehow more "safe" than an afternoon making out in a corner booth with someone you only just met.

OUR BLOGGERS

FishnetsAndLight

Professional Dominatrix, lapsed English major and token black chick extraordinaire. I'm also a great big perv. Bend over.

Location:New York, New York
Looking for: Those who aren't too afraid.

Zeitgeisty

I'm an existentialist trapped in the body of a rational humanist. I've got a penchant for misanthropy and a flair for the obvious. I'm quick with a joke or a light up your smoke, but there's someplace that I'd rather be. I'm Zeitgeisty, pleased to meet me I'm sure.

Location: Somewhere on the isle of Manhattan...
Looking for: A shining good deed in a weary world...

Airheadgenius

I am a fish out of water - an opinionated cheeky smiling English chick in a land of larger than life Americans. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand asking if we're exclusive. I don't understand this weird practice of decapitating penises. Some days I am definitely MILF material. Other days I feel more like the material on the inside of yer grannys' handbag.

Location: Brooklyn
Looking for: A stunning socialist with a propensity to pick winning lottery numbers

amboabe

I'm a smart ass writer who'll argue your ear off, hold your hand close, and tell you the truth whenever. I'm a fool and a hero, a confessional soul, and lover of life in every conceivably absurd way that it can come. I also paint my toenails.

Location: San Francisco
Looking for: A sail, not an anchor.

spjv840

Slightly neurotic, over-analyzing girl..err, woman, with too much charm for the average person to handle. Has a fondness for red wine, cheap beer and a good time.

Location: The Igloo, Canada
Looking for: Nothing mediocre
