Dear DateSpacers,
We’ve been on a game show kick lately. Hey, what could be better than the original reality TV? This week, we wanted to offer a tribute to America’s favorite game show: Supermarket Sweep. Unfortunately, loading a shopping cart with Tide® and Butterball® turkeys doesn’t really have an email-ready analogue. (And, yes, we watched Lifetime in the 90s.)
As a consolation, we’re providing you with a puzzle that would make Pat Sajak and Vanna White proud (unlike this contestant. Poor little lamb.) First reader to solve the puzzle wins a shout-out in the next issue of Thursdates and a date with your favorite DateSpaces.com Team Member!* Hint: the solution epitomizes the poignant paradox of romance. (Also, think maudlin tremolo meets Chevy commercial.)
The category is “Before & After.” Talk it out. Good luck:

1. DateSpace of the Week
Suite86 suggests Hill Country for some rootin’, tootin’, gun-shootin’ good Texas BBQ. Perfect if your date is John Travolta or Debra Winger. Says Suite86, “A fine date spot if you’re both willing to get a little messy.” Yee-haw.

2. This Week at The Daily Dater
Ever been likened to a sibling by the object of your affection? Do the words, “You’re such a good friend,” make you cringe? Then this week’s column is for you. In it, we discuss how to avoid the “Friend Zone” and stay in the Love Zone. We recommend making your intentions clear from the get-go and taking a page from the Book of R. Kelly. Better make sure it’s the right page, though. Yeesh.**
