ipot implies that shopping for a first date is a bad idea

yea, here's the problem, if you don't at least make her think it might be a date, you have an incredibly low chance of success, yes low risk, but terribly low chance of reward, something like mini golf is still relativly low risk but is at least date-ish, not to mention more fun for her than picking out ties

The thing is, I have the perfect lead in to the tie shopping experience with the comment from the uggo girl to make for an easy transition and to appear as though I just came up with it on the spot.

How would I go about asking a girl to go minigolfing with me when our conversations in class and in the hallway have consisted mostly of nonsense?
