Dumpster Diving
Sox:
It all depends on your definition of a 'date'. If you expect a fancy meal at a nice restaurant, and that not happening makes you not want to see this person again, perhaps agreeing to go on the date was maybe a bad idea?
When I take girls on a date, I make them walk until their legs hurt, then lie down on the grass with them and just say a whole bunch of charming stuff. Maybe do a magic trick and produce food/drink from thin air. At this point, we're usually pretty far from the urban environment. It works best on clear days, but the best result happened when it was pouring down with rain. We had to go somewhere to dry out together, if you know what I'm saying.
I enjoy dumpster diving. I think it's a brilliant idea. Infact, I think that in a peaceful environment, it could even be a good date. It's the urban equivalent of picking an apple from a tree in a beautiful meadow, and that kind of shit gets you major points with your date.

I wouldn't go dumpster diving for food on a date. Though I can't afford to eat out much, I have food at home I'm more than willing to cook for someone. But then again, I am easily grossed out by sometimes ridiculous things, so I wouldn't enjoy anything that makes me squeamish. This is why I can go for furniture and things (non-upholstered things, mostly, because who knows why it's in a dumpster in the first place) but not for food. But if people have the stomach to do it, power to them, because that's pretty gutsy.
(Edit for missing a word!)

Note to Self: Do not ever go on a date with Linds!
Edit: What contribute something to a conversation? Fine. I'm not sure if I would ever dumpster dive, unless the food was like, well packaged or obviousy separated out from something else, or if it was like just slightly overripe fruit or something that you can peel. I mean, I eat strange food, but getting it from a dumpster is not a good idea to me. Of course, I don't have to at the moment to get stuff like free taco Bell, because my older brother works there and keeps bringing home bag of empanadas, rice, beans, chalupa shells and stuff they really otherwise would've thrown out. I say a pre-emptive food grab is in order.

I find it odd how many of you are concerned about illness from dumpstering but not from tabletopping... You do realise half eaten food is going to be covered in other peoples slobber etc etc. I wouldn't table top because I get ill easily but I do dumpster cause it's a total waste not to.
I can afford to buy food but if I dumpster I have more money to do useful things with. I donate to charities so why should I feel bad about taking this food? It's not like I'm preventing anyone else from getting it. The homeless people around here don't dumpster, god only knows why. And the only people who are losing out are the supermarket corporations who quite frankly have more than enough money.
So dumpstering makes economic sense to me.
I only take things that are sealed, washable or sepparated. That way there's little to no danger of contamination. Or so I see it, I've yet to get sick from dumpstered food.
