I’ve had a lot of dates like that too. I know bland dates can be discouraging, but don’t let it deter you. You gotta go through a lot of mediocre dates to find the one you truly want. Hopefully there will not be too many jerks or lunatics…but even if there are, they can be fun stories to look back on. 🙂

Bland dates CAN be discouraging, but the ones involving high-speed police chases and dives from the tops of 40-story buildings can wear you out!
