1. What to do if you go on a first date that just happens to fall on the day before Valentine’s Day: bring the girl a big heart-shaped cookie with squiggly pink and yellow frosting!! That’s what my date did tonight and there’s no way it could’ve gone badly after that. Also, I was running around 15 minutes late (which, incidentally, is completely typical for me) and when I texted him to let him know, he wrote back: No worries. Just be safe. See you soon. What a perfectly gentlemanly response.
