52 Burrito Dates
I could not resist re-blogging this one! . A man won a years supply of free burritos and decided to share his prize with 52 dates. This blog is hilarious! I only wish that I could have been one of the 52 burrito babes!.........
"hi, i’m richard. at the 2010 london twestival, chilango, the mexican food chain donated a prize in aid of concern. the prize was a year’s free burrito meals, luckily i won! just as i was about to selfishly stuff my face with burritos, i began to experience twitter envy. in a moment of weakness (or greatness?!), i decided to share the prize by taking a different girl for a burrito every week for a whole year! how generous of me.

* 2nd Date? Under normal circumstances would I have gone on a second date with them?
Results Table: My dates in order of ‘scores’. It was Martin’s (Date 10) jokey suggestion that I rate all of my dates in top trumps fashion. And I agreed. Planning refers to how organised and thoughtful they were about designing the date. Rapport refers to how much I think that we had in common. Sweetness refers to how kind and endearing that they seemed. Scores are based just on the impression that the date gave me on the date only and so these score tables shouldn’t be taken too seriously.It’s all subjective.
