Do Unto Your Date as You Would Have them Do Unto You

[ 0 ] September 5, 2012

The best way to blow a first date is to be snarky. A friend of mine recently comforted one of her Match.com courters, Ken, who said he just returned from the date that left him befuddled and mentally dismembered. His date, let’s call her Barbie, made an evening out of making fun of him, his [...]
