I'm happily married, so I'll pass this advice on to those who can still use it. The cost of a first date should be about the cost of a round of mini golf, because you should play mini golf for your first date. Period.
It's a tale as old as time and a debate even older than that — how much should you spend on a first date?

I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.

In the 90s, I genuinely thought the Internet would cure loneliness. But it turns out that for me anyway the Internet addresses loneliness the way alcohol addresses anxiety.

I watched “Adolescence” and my takeaway was we shouldn’t allow kids on social media until age 16 (at least).
