How to Secure a Date 2

How to Secure a Date 2
No duct tape, no zip ties, just a bottle. This is part 2 of my other 'ible: How to Secure a date [http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-secure-a-date/]

Already following "How to Secure a date", the lady is probably your girlfriend by now or on the way*. Now the problem is keeping her your girlfriend, this is where this 'ible comes into play. If you are a particularly bad boyfriend, following these steps will buy you a few days, a week at most. If you are a good boyfriend, then your girlfriend will brag to her friends how "sweet" you are, which is a sort of investment if things don't work out with the current girlfriend.

Materials

Paper & Pen (if you have good handwriting) or Paper & Computer & Printer
Coffee/Tea
Bottle, preferably with a cork
Sand(optional)

Step 1Write on paper

Write on paper
Writing/printing on the paper before you stain it is easier since the paper is still smooth. There is an issue of the ink running but it should be fine if you let the ink try first. Think of what you want to write, it can be anything really. When I did this, I used this quote from Romeo and Juliet:

I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
I would adventure for such merchandise.
Act II Scene II

Its a pretty good quote and it has to do with the ocean, "message in a bottle" theme. Anything is good really. Since the next step is to make the paper looked aged, I like the idea of making the font in calligraphy or some stylish cursive.

I used a printer because I can't write calligraphy. If you do want to write it, get the quote you like, put it in the font you like, put the paper over the screen, and copy.

I like this, it's quirky and interesting, though I'd imagine its success rate's a bit shakey...

On giving it to her, rather than scarpering, walking in the opposite direction towards her, handing it to her and walking away may illicit a better reaction than a hastily made escape, which could make them a bit worried by the bottle, though some kind of bizarre hunt like thing could be cool, to add to it all...

I like to make things. Either out of necessity, being cheap, or just because I can.
