Hungry, Hungry Human
April 16, 2012
Starting this blog (i.e. going on three times the dates I normally would) comes with its definite perks. Mainly, I get a whole lot of free dinners. But, as a general rule, I think just drinks for a first date is the way to go. After all, there’s nothing worse than knowing before you even […]
