10 Ways A Pickup Truck Can Help You Get A Date
barbecue, camping, date
Okay – so a pickup might not be considered a traditional “love charm” in the same way that a puppy or a convertible might be when it comes time to wooing the opposite sex. That being said, there are definitely a number of scenarios out there where driving a big pickup truck like the Toyota Tundra has its advantages during the intricacies of the human courtship ritual.
Let’s take a fun look at 10 ways a pickup truck can help you get a date:
1 Helping Someone Move
Anyone who owns a pickup knows that at least once a year, they are going to be asked to help a friend – or a friend of a friend – move house. While this task is typically viewed as a nightmare, you could flip it around and use the situation to your advantage: you might meet someone interesting who is along to help carry boxes and furniture. And hey – you’re the helpful guy or gal with the pickup, so you’ve already made a great first impression.
2 Towing Someone Out Of The Mud / A Snowbank
Good Samaritans are sexy, and owning a pickup increases the chances that you will be able to do someone a good turn out on the road. Throw a couple of tow chains in the truck bed and keep your eyes peeled for someone flashing their four-ways on the shoulder – you just might be able to tow your way into a date.
3 Taking Someone Camping
That guy or girl you are interested in always talking about their love for camping? Why not volunteer the services of your pickup truck and take them out to a scenic (read, romantic) countryside campsite and impress them with your practicality and your generosity?
4 Going on a Bike Ride
Throw a couple of bikes in the back of your truck and you’ve got your passport to the kind of adventure date that is especially appealing to city dwellers who feel trapped by the hustle and bustle of their urban environments. Find a nice bed and breakfast and you are all set.
5 Take Someone Kayaking
Alright, so it’s a little more extreme than biking – but how else are you going to impress the X-Games fan that you’ve had your eye on for so many months now? Plus, your truck bed is the perfect size for a kayak or two – or maybe a kayak built for two?
6 Helping Out at a BBQ
Your friends want to have a barbecue at a local park, but they don’t have any way to get their gas grille off the back porch. Enter you and your pickup truck – and a nice summer afternoon of hanging out in the sun and meeting new people who are all very happy that you were willing to step in and make the logistics of the party work.
7 Tailgate
It might seem obvious, but tailgating at a football game or any other sporting event is the perfect way to make use of the practical aspects of your pickup in a social situation. You can haul all the party gear you need to the parking lot and get your grill on and your adult beverages started well before kick-off time – and most likely make a bunch of new date-worthy friends in the process.
8 Go Boating
A day on the lake is a great way to relax, and it’s also a fun way to get to know someone new in a low pressure situation. Hitch up the boat, head down to the water and invite along a new friend to break the ice and maybe ignite the spark of a new relationship.
9 Go to a local cruise night
Your truck might not be a show piece, but it’s got four wheels and a seat, right? Drive on down to a local cruise night and enjoy some ice cream, have a hot dog and mingle with the car people who have gathered there to talk about their passion. You never know what kind of chemistry you might have on a warm summer night with someone who’s looking for a tailgate to sit on. Remember that cool Toyota Tacoma from the movie Back To The Future? Great truck for cruising.
10 Tow a Float in a Parade
Everyone’s waving and smiling at you as you tow that trailer decorated with papier mache and populated by a local pack of Scouts or Girl Guides – parades are a great way to get to meet people involved in organizing a local community event, as well as introduce yourself to someone after the event as “that guy (or girl) who was pulling the giant wedding cake.”
