Lori Gottlieb January 18, 2007

Because in today\’s modern world, a guy and a girl looking for love can make plans, rush home from work, wash extra carefully in certain areas, put on nice clothes, spend three hours in flirtatious conversation at the local sushi joint, say a warm good night and still come home wondering whether what they just experienced was a date or two people who wanted to be on a date but were instead simply \”hanging out.\”

There are pros and cons to dating in the modern technological age.
