I've never asked a date to travel before so just testing the waters here and looking for information/interest.  I'll be going to Long Island for a quick overnight trip in the next few months.  Are any women interested in making that trip on their own if I invest for an overnight date and buy dinner and the hotel room?  Seems like someone interested in traveling to New York might be motivated if they have a guaranteed date and place to stay for the first night?  Worth asking about.  Thanks!
