Pretty decent advice but from the gun be yourself. And go with your instincts.

again, it't not an either-or situation. I don't know why I have to keep explaining this. for trips within the city, scooters and bikes are better. if you're commuting to DC, then bikes and scooters make a good first/last mile mode. traditional transit and bike/scooters complement each other.
you can try to ignore that I was talking about within Baltimore and be a douche for no reason if you want, but it's hardly useful to anything but feeding your own ego. honestly, what value do you get in intentionally misinterpreting what I said? does it actually make you feel good? I do't understand. please explain it to me.
you're right, I don't take Baltimore's transit because I don't work in DC and I own a bike, which means I can get anywhere in the city easier, faster, and cheaper than taking transit. if I do need to go to DC, I either bring my bike or I rent a scooter when I get there because a bike or scooter still outperforms DC's transit for trips of less than about 8 miles (depending on the route).
so I'll ask again, if you think there is no value at all in bikes or scooters, please, lets wager and have a race WITHIN BALTIMORE CITY. we can throw darts at a map and race between, say, 4-5 locations.

This is very sweet.
Be aware, reptile rescue is a very difficult thing. Even if you're just fostering, it can be difficult, because people are often HORRIBLE to their scaly pets. I did it for a year and it broke me - I'm out of the hobby completely, now.

I decided to stump up on the aquarium since I’m driving 40 minutes there might as well make some time of it

Sorry boss, that's Transit Link Card, which covers:
- WMATA Metrorail and Metrobus
- Montgomery County RideOn
- DASH – Alexandria, VA
- MTA CityLink, LocalLink, Express BusLink (up charge included), Metro SubwayLink and Light RailLink
So if you're going to take MTA bus, to MARC, to Metro I got a feeling it's going to beat your scooter.
This confirmed my suspicion, you don't take the bus. Keep to your scooters.

I LOVE the BMI! I think I'm going to go there this weekend I haven't been in a while and I love to wander around and get lost in museums!
terpmasterp t1_j3qnaum wrote
I enjoyed this conversation. Lots of great ideas, and it definitely depends on how much you know the person going into the first date! (coffee with easy out vs. museum/activity) Best of luck!

I love activity first dates, it feels less like an interview and more like I am having a good time with a friend (that hopefully if the cards are played right will become more). Activity dates feel like less pressure because you're engaging in something.

Duckpin bowling is definitely a fun option. Idk if the spot in the city is still open, or if it would require a trip to towson.

Yes to Little Donna’s, that place is so good. Casual but cozy and food and drinks were really delicious.

Was going to say the same thing - I think the context really matters. Aquarium or museum could be good if you already know each other and it’s your first date. But if you are meeting for first time it’s a gamble.

And you can see the inner workings of the actual clock, which is super cool. I love that place!

I agree with other people saying it's too much. Don't roll out the red carpet on the first date bc if it goes south you'll just be railing a line of regretamine. Keep it simple and close to something interesting to extend the date. If location one is chill then offer to go to location 2.

Recommend posting in the autism / Asperger's / HFA sections of Reddit as well. My GP (JHU Remington physicians) prescribed me my anxiety meds.
You may want to also look at prescription acid blocker meds, lots of us suffer from chronic acid reflux.
My last therapist through BCBS I saw online. She didn't specialize in autism spectrum but was helpful.
Feel free to message me.

Why should bikes/scooters break even? If people prefer them to transit, we should subsidize them like buses. A monthly charm pass actually costs about $300-350.
Also, I'm not saying we should replace buses with scooters/bikes, we can have both.
Also, if you don't think bikes/scooters are good transportation, would you like to wager on a race? Throw some darts at a map of Baltimore city and see who gets to each location the fastest, you on transit and me on a bike.
