...River are always good fallbacks when you’re low on cash and time. For all their cheesiness, picture-postcard walks along the river can be a good time to talk and figure out the real scoop on your date. Be careful though, with a bad date this excess one-on-one time can turn painful. But when the spark fizzles, you can always ditch and run home on a moment’s notice...
