I’ve taught you how to get that certain special someone to like you. You’ve captured the interest of your crush. So now what? You didn’t think I’d leave you hanging, did you? No, I am here for you every step of the way, my friend. As you prepare for your First Date with the object of your affections, you will have my guidance to ensure its success.

The first date classics? Dinner or grabbing drinks or going to the movies? BOOOOOORING!! Show them you’ve got style by taking them where they’ve never been before. Prison. Take them to the closest prison.
