Oh reeeeeally? Well. Let's look at our options, daughter-of-mine.
Option 1: You go out on a date and really hit it off. You have an amazing time and this leads to other date-type adventures.
Option 2: You go out on a date and don't hit it off. Nothing terrible, you just don't click. At least you get some coffee or food out of the deal.
Option 3: You go out on a date and it's terrible. Like, he orders a salad for you and talks about Reagonomics all night. Then you call your amazing mother (me) who needs you for an emergency right away. Then we meet up and get burgers and ice cream while making fun of him for the rest of the night.
You've been study-gal since you got here, Ror. I love you, but I you need to get out more often. I think this could be fun for you.
