The Worst Date Ideas in St. Louis [PHOTOS]
There are so many great places to take a date in St. Louis (The roof of the City Museum! The Grand Hall at Union Station! The Neon Museum!) but there are lots of situations you want to avoid, too.
Not every date idea is a good date idea. So if you ask your friends for date idea suggestions, and they tell you something like "go ride the Loop Trolley," you need to know that your friends are dumb and you need some better people in your life.
We made you a collection of all of the places and spaces to avoid if you're trying to spend some special time with your boo.
But if you're in a LTR and ready to break free, just do everything on this list and you'll be dumped in no time. You're welcome.
