Home Fries & Sunny Side Up: Breakfast Dates

Eggs and bacon.

In online personals, we’re constantly seeking new ways to impress our online dates, new places to take them, new experiences to wow them with – and why not a breakfast date? I want to go on a breakfast date. Even just with myself. Because breakfast is delicious.

Pros:

1. Crepes, waffles maple syrup, pancakes, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast, coffee, eggs benedict…..

2. Early Morning Desire. Male testosterone replenishes during the evening and gets stored up for the next day. When he first wakes, the stored testosterone makes him want sex like a young Elvis Presley. If you’re a dude, what better time than the morning to look across a table of lovely food at a lovely lady? If you’re a woman, your chances for a successful end to a sex date are best in the am.

3. Less pressure. It’s so early that you’re not expecting sparks, firecrackers or any sort of pyrotechnics to necessarily fly. You are sleepy and slow and this is going to be a relaxed “let’s-see-how-it-goes” thing.

Cons:

1. It’s so early! Your mind is asleep. How are you supposed to be witty and charming and sparkling at 10 am on a Saturday after a night at the tequila bar? How? On that note, how are you not going to throw up all over the home fries?

2. Lines. In the city where I live, brunch means long lines. Standing in the cold, or heat, in a throng of people, hungry and tired and attempting to make awkward conversation could totally mean disaster.

3. If it goes badly, it might throw off your whole day. And no one like ruining their Saturday or Sundy.
