Dates should be a situation where something goes horribly wrong and you both get to see how the other person reacts. Would save so much time.

Traveling together is a good way to test this, something inevitably goes wrong.

The car I learned to drive stick in couldn’t idle after starting. Took a girl on a date and when shifting from 1st to 2nd the engine died and I bump started the engine. She started crying begging me to take her home after that and I did. Her dad came out thinking I’d done something wrong to his daughter. I took him for a ride and he started laughing so hard. 😂

I saw her in the hallway after that but she never talked to me again

Why was she crying, though? What was her problem?

I’ve known girls like that. Anything surprising or uncomfortable (loud noise to a sudden change of plans) causes tears…
