Yo, help a homeboy out here. Not that I ain't slick and fine with the ladies, but I got some Q's.

1. What kind of boss threads should a dawg wear to a Broadway play?

2. Does shawty have to know it's a date for shawty to be on a date?

Thanks and props in advance.

1. Preferably a suit and tie. Not a super-suit, no Spandex or facemasks, an honest to Wall Street suit and tie. Some people would upgrade to a tuxedo. At the very least, wear a nice button-down shirt, nice pants, and a tie.

2. I...would say no.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

1. I think tux might be a bit OTT since she probably got nothing but a plant suit for skivs.

What's your POV on pimp hats? Y/N?

[sonofether.livejournal.com]

Pimp hats?

Two words.

HELL. NO.

Not for Broadway at least. Maybe if you go to a baseball game.

[wantstobebatman.livejournal.com]

1. Nice ones. I'd say black pants and button up shirt, tie optional. If she's planning on dressing up to the nines you should match, pretty much.

2. Not necessarily but it's usually a good idea to broach the question of 'is this a date/was this a date' before the outing is over. Make sure you're on the same page with her otherwise things could get awkward.

Also if it is at all possible you might want to give a shot to talking to 'shawty' without the b-boy slang. Girls like it when you take the time to sound sincere instead of super-casual.

[sonofether.livejournal.com]

I agree.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

1. I got no idea what she's planning on wearing, but since she's new on the block I don't expect her to get her frisks on. She's probably only got a plant suit and besides, she's plenty fine as she is.

2. Will do. Thanks, dawg. I'd rather me and homegirl be on the same wave and you got a point.

Bitch, this is how I talk. Besides, she said she liked it.

[wantstobebatman.livejournal.com]

1. Hmm, best to go no-tie then so she doesn't feel underdressed.

2. No prob.

Yeah it's how my little brother talks too and it doesn't seem to get him anywhere with the girls, but hey if this girl you've got on the hook likes it then keep it. Can't fault you for playing to your audience I guess.

You should probably dress up a little, even if the theatre doesn't strictly require you to.

...and yes, you should definitely let your date know that it is a date. It can be very unpleasant to accept what you think is a friendly invitation only to have your companion start making romantic advances on you.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

1. Well, it's a Sensoriums gig. We're uploading her favorite musical into the system and kicking back.

2. I ain't gonna be making no romantic advances! I don't want to put her on the spot and besides, shawties always make the first moves on me because I got such game.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, in that case, I'd take your cue from how she's dressed. After all, you can imagine whatever clothes you like for yourself.

...I see. You might still want to let her know that you're interested in her, though.

[facepunching.livejournal.com]

1. You should wear the exact same thing you wear every day. Be sure to wear the puppet.

2. No. It's best to spring the surprise on her at the last minute. Think of it as an ambush.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

Yo roomie, you prefer sock on the door or you want me to sexile you from the comms?

Glad to see you even figured out the comms, this time.

[facepunching.livejournal.com]

If you enjoy being on fire, I wholeheartedly encourage you to try either approach.

[thewunderkind]

Are you for real.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

Nah. I'm all in your head.

[Private]

[thewunderkind]

Keep talking like that and I'll figure out who you are taking out and tell them about this post, ya dig?

Also what type of date is a Broadway play? What kind of name is Broadway...

[fattynoparents]

What exactly is a "shawty"?

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

A mighty fine biznatch.

[telekinetic_badass]

Oh, my poor boy. I don't know who you are, but I'll take pity on you, because clearly you need my help. So let me give you some advice.

First thing you do is this:

Take some mouthwash, swish it around your mouth, maybe gargle it a little bit, then spit it out. Repeat the process until you've finally washed all the wangsta out of your mouth.

If y'all were just hangin out and playin videogames or whatever, then be as fake-ass thug as you wanna be. But you're taking a chick to a broadway play, that's high class kind of shit. You want to sound like you've made it past the 4th grade, and you're at least passingly familiar with what a dictionary is.

Now, for clothes, you don't have to go the full suit and tie route, but you'll want something fancier than jeans, with either a matching polo or button down shirt.

NOTE: Wear a belt. Your pants should be at or above your waist. If she can see your drawers at the beginning of the date, its too soon. Save that shit for later, if you manage to get that far.

Also, you might want to clear up that date thing early on, otherwise you might end up in the friend zone, and you might never be able to bang her if you end up there.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

Don't need your pity, mofo. I'd say I'm doing pretty fine way I got it, and I don't got to fix how I talk for this honey. And this thug ain't fake-ass, fool.

Point taken about the pants, tho.

I'm fine with friend zone too. I got girl friends. Friends that are girls. Shawties I have banged that I am not banging ATM.

[thisclinchesit]

1. Dress like I do on a regular basis.

2. Might be wise to let her know it's being considered as such.

I'm inclined to agree with Julian on the behavior parts, unless by chance your particular brand of charm is what's gotten her interested.

[tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com]

You do dress pretty neat! Maybe he shouldn't wear the hat, though.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

No damage, dawg, but you dress like a square. Props on the hat, though.

It is! She said she liked how I talk.

[battorch]

1) Semi-formal, probably. Since it's private, you won't necessarily need to go full suit or tux, but it's the kind of thing you'd want to dress nicely for. Slacks, button down shirt and a sport coat, maybe?

2) Yes. Trust me, making sure you're on equal ground is important.

Piece of advice, though-- try to use more respectful terminology. Calling her a 'shawty' might come off kind of degrading.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

1. Sounds good. Should I slick my hair or no?

'Shawty' is as respectful as it gets, dawg! I only call real love honeys that, not just any chick. [herp derp oblivious]
