Guaranteeing a second date while on a first date





“This is all ammunition, Cart. All ammo. You want to be able to order a nice bottle of wine. 
Oh, and after dinner, if she says how she doesn’t want dessert, you suggest 
she pick one and you’ll split it. Women love that. Sharing dessert’s sexy.”

Couples on Channel 4's First Dates were analysed, with some interesting findings

She smiled. “Look how cute you are in your smarty-pants. Now why don’t you order dessert, 
so I can pretend to be self-righteous and not—then eat half of yours?”
They lingered. She’d forgotten what it was like to have a meal with a man she could have
long, twisty conversation with. One who listened, who paid attention—whether or not 
he was thinking about the possible bonus round at the end of the evening.
He made her think, she realized. And entertained her.

Helpful Infographics Visualize Complex Branches






“Wait. Wait. Mackensie? The redhead you had a crush on in high school?”
Defeated, Carter rubbed the spot between his eyebrows again. “I should never have told you about that. This is why I rarely drink.”
“But, Cart, this is like kismet.” Excitement rushed through the words. “It’s like return of the nerd. It’s the big chance to follow up on a lost opportunity.”
“It’s coffee,” Carter muttered.
Flushed with enthusiasm, Bob jumped up, grabbed a piece of chalk. On the board he drew a circle. “Obvious, the circle. You’re completing one, and completing it just means taking point A and point B—” Within the circle he made two dots, connected them horizontally. “Up to point C.” He drew another dot at the apex, then joined it with the other points with two diagonal lines. “See?”
“Yes, I see a triangle inside a circle. I’ve got to go.”
“It’s the triangle of fate inside the circle of life!”
Carter hefted his briefcase. “Go home, Bob.”
“You can’t argue with math, Carter. You’ll always lose.”
