1. Dinner
Never mind questions about religion, sex and politics: How a possible soul mate tackles a sloppy hamburger—with a knife and fork or with the hands— is an excellent litmus test on compatibility. At Southern-style joint Brother Jimmy’s, pop-quiz your companion with all-beef burgers ($18 for two), then wash them down with Coors Light and frozen margaritas for a buck each during Happy Hour (4–7pm). 1485 Second Ave between 77th and 78th Sts (212-545-7427).
2. Dancing
You may have performed your last Virginia reel in the third grade, but the NYC Barn Dance ($30 for two) is an adults-only hoedown. Promenade four streets north to the Hungarian House, where a live caller will instruct the low-key crowd on how to do-si-do to the strains of fiddle-and-banjo band the Forge Mountain Diggers. And unlike your cootie-filled elementary-school days, this time around you’ll most likely want to hold your partner’s hand—and perhaps extend an invite for a sleepover. 213 E 82nd St between Second and Third Aves, nycbarndance.com. Thu 12 at 8pm.—Helen Yun
