You Got My Card. Hi.

1. 1.Coffee on Montana Avenue, ordered from a human at a real counter.
2. 2.A bike ride down the strand to Venice and back — ten phone-free miles. You learn more about someone in ten phone-free miles than in ten weeks of "hbu?" texts.
3. 3.Tacos, then the pier at golden hour. If it's going well, we watch the sunset. If not, the tacos were still great. Nobody loses.

Griffith Observatory, a downtown rooftop, a sunset drive up PCH.

1. 1.Coffee somewhere on the Westside — Santa Monica is home base, so I'll come to you if it's close.
2. 2.A walk up to Griffith Observatory. The whole city laid out below us, and not one swipe required.
3. 3.A drink on a downtown rooftop or a sunset drive up PCH — your call, depending on how the first two went.

Abbot Kinney for coffee, the canals for a walk, the boardwalk for people-watching.

1. 1.Coffee on Abbot Kinney, ordered from a human at a real counter.
2. 2.A slow walk through the Venice canals — no phones, just the ducks and the questionable architecture.
3. 3.The boardwalk for people-watching and judging the skaters together. Silently. Mostly.

Coffee in the Arts District, the Baldwin Hills stairs, dinner on Washington.

1. 1.Coffee in the Arts District — two creatives, zero pitch decks.
2. 2.A walk up the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook stairs. You set the pace; I'll pretend I'm not winded.
3. 3.Dinner on Washington Boulevard, then we decide whether this was a pilot or a series.

Coffee on Melrose, the Design District, a sunset drink above the Strip.

1. 1.Coffee on Melrose, somewhere with good light and no ring light.
2. 2.A walk through the West Hollywood Design District, rating furniture we'll never buy.
3. 3.A sunset drink with a view of the Strip — proof people still meet without their phones.

Coffee off Beverly Drive, Beverly Gardens, an early dinner.

1. 1.Coffee just off Beverly Drive. I'm buying, and no, it's not a power move.
2. 2.A walk through Beverly Gardens Park — the cactus garden is underrated.
3. 3.An early dinner. I promise not to talk about Rodeo Drive rent.

Coffee in the Village, the Hammer Museum, a movie at the Bruin.

1. 1.Coffee in Westwood Village — bring your best argument for anything.
2. 2.The Hammer Museum or the UCLA sculpture garden, depending on how intellectual we're feeling.
3. 3.A movie at the Bruin, followed by a well-argued review over dessert.

San Vicente coffee, the Country Mart, a walk up to the Getty.

1. 1.Early coffee on San Vicente, because Brentwood runs on mornings.
2. 2.A wander through the Brentwood Country Mart.
3. 3.A trip up to the Getty if the conversation's good — the view earns the extra hour.

Lunch-break coffee near the towers, Westfield gardens, an after-work drink.

1. 1.A lunch-break coffee near the towers. Thirty minutes, hard stop, no agenda.
2. 2.A walk through the Westfield Century City gardens.
3. 3.An after-work drink if the first meeting earned a follow-up.

Coffee downtown, the pier, sunset volleyball.

1. 1.Coffee in downtown Manhattan Beach.
2. 2.A walk to the end of the pier and back — the ocean is better than any feed.
3. 3.Sunset volleyball as spectators (or contestants, if you're feeling brave).

Coffee at the Country Mart, Point Dume, fish tacos by the ocean.

1. 1.Coffee at the Malibu Country Mart.
2. 2.A walk at Point Dume — half of PCH has no signal anyway.
3. 3.Fish tacos with the ocean as the third wheel.
