<div class="bbWrapper">Ask him/her what they think about it, joke with them that because they inspired you, they’ll get a cut when you become a billionaire. <br /> <br /> A couple glasses of wine later, go home and get laid. You’ll never forget the idea, and sharing it with someone as unbiased as a date you barely know will get you the most honest feedback possible, and/or a potential business partner and soulmate who is as ambitious as you.<br /> <br /> Or they could steal your idea, but don’t overthink it.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Is this a real concern you have?<br /> <br /> Are you actually prepping for a date and you&#039;re concerned you&#039;re going to be rude?<br /> <br /> Or is this just a &#039;thought&#039; that popped into your head when showering?<br /> <br /> <br /> If you <i>really </i>think of a great idea, excuse yourself to the restroom and put it on your phone. Wait for him/her to go to the restroom and put it on your phone. Apologize and scribble it down anyway (as LateBloomer recommended). <br /> <br /> (Or, as <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/8202/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="8202" data-username="@Vigilante">@Vigilante</a> says...don&#039;t)<br /> <br /> You can also just remember.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Don&#039;t do it . It will look rude . Better commit the idea to your memory than noting it down.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Haha everyone is flagging this thread for landfill. But yeah that idea you have on a date of all things you could be doing is probably not that life changing that you have to pause everything and write it down. Don&#039;t be that guy.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I know this is a joke thread but this is what mnemonic devices are for.<br /> <br /> Associate the idea with your date&#039;s face, name, etc. and you&#039;ll be able to easily recall the idea when you get home.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">If I was in this situation a simple &quot;excuse me i just need to write down a reminder for something i forgot to do&quot; and make a quick note on my phone would suffice.. Then make sure attention is back on date and be engaging create movement so that the last couple seconds is forgotten</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">When I was dating I would actually first start to get annoyed every time I met a woman that was wrong for MANY reasons. Then, I started looking at every date as an experience to learn something. For example, I went out with a dental hygenist years ago and she was awful! But, I was able to get some information regarding teeth cleaning! <br /> <br /> So, kill 2 birds w/ 1 one stone, get laid and learn something (hopefully a business idea)</div>
