Last Date ideas? – The Answer Wall

I suppose if the decision was reached mutually and you both want to establish a new mode of “just friends,” I’d say do something that just friends commonly do. Sports, for instance, keep you occupied without demanding much emotional engagement. Maybe take lessons at a climbing wall? But if you’re talking about a breakup date, it’s going to suck no matter where you’ve gone, so why sweat the location, other than making sure there are enough walls to provide some privacy. There will be tears.

For a breakup? Huh. Sounds creepy. If you’re gonna break up, at least do it somewhere warm with sugary treats.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
