Last night I introduced The Best First Date Ever to Ben. I probably should work on a better nickname for him. Or maybe just call him T.B.F.D.E for short. What better way to get boys to know each other than in a setting where they can interact but don’t really have to talk. This is [...]

becky | July 12, 2009

It had the makings of a perfect first date.  The texts between boy and girl were flying until just minutes before they met, filled with such giddiness it was palpable.  The mid-summer weather was perfect.  White puffy clouds with robin egg blue sky behind.  And not a hint of humidity; which greatly pleased the girl [...]

But be encouraged; there may very well be many ways to improve your experience. For one, you may want [...]
