You may remember that a little while ago I wrote an article on speed dating, and then another on gay dating apps.

I see countless examples where people who aren’t that fussy who they land with so long as they land with someone that goes on these awkward (and from the outside appear to be utterly dull) dates and claim to have a whale of a time. Now while I don’t want to steal from their enjoyment, awkward dates usually mean chemistry and rapport issues. The two things that, if gotten right, usually lead to bigger and brighter things.
