Not that 8 pm is all that late, but for what it's worth:

Late Night Restaurants - Philadelphia | Urbanspoon

Perhaps all of TVSG's fans should pitch in and buy him an iPhone.

Hey, we're all not cheap. A long time ago I was dumped by my girlfriend and I ended up giving her a car, because she was a single mother and I wanted to make sure she had wheels to get to work.

Granted, it was a very modest car, but still.

Not that I'm doubting you, it just might be a better idea to go somewhere with multiple options nearby so if Option A is closed you've got Options B-G down the street.
17th and Market Area

Ok, so it wasn't a great first date, but the bottom line is she paid attention to him. She must have liked something about him to do that. If a woman didn't like a guy, she would have bailed out immediately.

I don't know TVSG from a hole in the wall, but from reading his posts here, he seems to be not that bad a guy. He just over analyzes a bit too much and he needs some more confidence in himself as well as to know when to put that TV remote down.

Now I know another poster said they'd be trying other places to go, and thats fine, because that is the type they are. But what you have to realize is the company you're with. If they are really tired and just want to go home, you can't force them to stay outside.

Just how cold was it in Philly? We were in the 40's here, which is warm for this time of year.


Temp was in the low 30's

Well, I used the magic word "most," did I not?!

Btw, that IS sweet of you!

Oh ok. I can see if you walk the wrong way it can be hard. Just an fyi, if you ever want to meet her near school again it's not too far from Mission Grill or Public House (north). You could also just walk south on 17th/18th to get to Rittenhouse Square. A lot of the places there are pricier, but there are some pub-type places or just go to one of the others for coffee/dessert instead of a meal. There's also a good creperie on 17th & Sansom or something, but I don't think they're open too late (9:30 or so).

Just for future reference, good luck!

All right, the weekend is upon you! You're taking her somewhere a little nicer this weekend, right? This is a great opportunity to call her and say, "I'm sorry we didn't have a chance to have dinner that night. Let me make it up to you." Then take her somewhere for dinner and be extra gentlemanly.

If you let too much time pass, her memory will just be about a cheap non-date who talked to her for half an hour in the snow.
