If the night is going well, and there's a foozball table around, why not make the date a bit more interesting and challenge your date to a little friendly competition? Make it even better by putting a wager on the outcome.

Try one of these:

The Loser Has to Eat Something Spicy. If you're in New York City, we recommend the Phaal Curry Challenge (but if your date looks like he's about to pass out, abort, abort!) The Loser Has to Drink Something Crazy. Make him drink a big old girly Sex on the Beach or Apple-tini. Or maybe a classic Sake Bomb. The Loser Has to Sing Time Of My Life Karaoke. Or some other embarrassing song. This could be scheduled for ten minutes from now...or the next date (look at you, lining up the next date already!). The Loser Has to Draw a Mustache On His Face. That will make it a date to remember, at least tomorrow, when his co-workers are like, "what's on your face?" The Loser Has to Get Up and Do The Running Man. In fact, if you are reading this, I'd start practicing your Running Man now because I have this feeling that all these people are going to read this and think, "that is a great idea!" and it will turn into a widespread thing. When it hits The Today Show, you'll know I'm right.

The Loser Has to Call His Mom and Ask Her What Her Bra Size Is. That's pretty weird, right?

The Loser Has to Hit The Floor for 50 Push-Ups. This sucks enough when you're not in a bar, after a few drinks. No getting up until they're done. If it's too easy for them, sit on their back. The Loser Has to Ask Someone in the Bar to Slow Dance. To whatever song is playing. Even if it's Jay-Z's "Give It To Me." Especially if it's Jay-Z's "Give It To Me." God, I love this song! I hope this happens to someone in a bar I'm frequenting. The Loser Has to Tell a Really, Really Embarrassing Story. In a British accent. If they're British, American. If it's something fake embarrassing like "I got caught singing in my car," make them tell a new one. In fact, before you start, you might want to give the disclaimer that getting caught singing in your car is not that embarrassing. The Loser Has to Give You a Kiss. Cheesy, I know. But if things are going well, this could be really, really good.
