Do we order it from the laneway cafe near home, or try somewhere new? Do we put on the red sneakers or the blue sneakers? But many of the decisions that we face shape the entire course of our lives, and the lives of the people with whom we interact. Those decisions are monumental. They feel almost crushing.

If you could have your dates stop doing one thing, what would it be?

I was asked a question this week by a woman confused as to why she wasn’t being approached by men. My answer was simple: approach the men.
