Question for Boston folks

I'm going on the 3rd date with this girl, from what recommendations I've gotten these 2 places sound really great. Turner Fisheries for dinner then drinks at the Oak Room bar. Anyone here been to these places? As far as I can tell both are in Copley Square. I am new to Boston and so is she.
 
Yeah, Legal Seafood is your best bet.

For the touristy stuff Quincy Market is always good. Bring your wallet because it's expensive.

True, I was wondering if anyone's been to Turner.
 
Being its only a third date, do you really want to drain your wallet? It also depends on how old the two of you are to aid in where you may want to go ( level of well, pocketbook and sophistication actually ;-) )

If you have a somewhat bottomless pocket, (is ANYTHING in Boston reasonable?) you can try KingFish in Fanuel, which is a step or three above Legal. Then there is a great little French restaurant I hit in Cambridge during restaurant week a few months ago, Sandrines... but its pricey.

For some nifty ambience, not to mention some movie nostalgia, you can also try Grafton Street in Harvard Square. A little Good Will Hunting for ya.

Just some ideas, though I am going to guess that, like 95% of this board these days, you are under 27-30 so these may not all be options. Grafton Street may be your best bet of the three above.

Oh, for the record, Dating sucks. 🙂

Good Luck!

Thanks for your suggestions. I am 28, guessing she is 21-22. We both work full time.

 
Well, she told me the truth today, kinda makes sense that the 2 times we went out, she didnt seem to show much interest in me:

"okay, so at the risk of making a fool out of myself because i'm just retarded, i felt like i should let you know this to just clear things up for my sanity and just to be fair i guess...just to be on the safe side i guess, but i am sort of seeing this guy right now....like i said, things have been a bit interesting lately for many reasons..so i'm a bit overly paranoid about these things...so yeah, i don't know if that really matters to you or not, but i just felt like i should say something. eekk, okay, that was just awkward, i know, i'm sorry"

Guess I could still use a friend since I'm new to the area, at least now I dont have to try to impress her/win her over or anything.
 
Yeah, I actually have met another girl, going to see what happens. I guess I need to make the effort and meet more people -> networking.
 
I decided I'd still go out tomorrow night, at least now there wont be any pressure, at least have a friend, important since I'm so new to the city.

I'm just playing along for now, she dosent mind going. Plus, if I like the place, I'll bring a girl that I'm really interested in and I think something might work out, curious to check the place out.

Tomorrow night, still going. I want to start checking out places in Boston anyway, no fun going on my own. At least now, I know where things stand, no more games.
