When he meets one at a concert, he manages almost suavely to ask her for a d-d-date, but when she says yes, he suddenly looks like Donald Duck walking on air-about 15 ft. out from the edge of the cliff. Big-hearted Ted, of course, gives the poor kid some useful advice ("Put two cigarettes between your lips, light them and give one to her -very sexy, women love it") and then kindly offers to come over to Bob's pad on the big night and whip up one of those "seductive suppers from Playboy...
