One of my biggest beefs with dating is the traditional first date activity: go to a restaurant and sit down for a high-pressure “get-to-know-you” conversation with a semi-stranger. To me, there’s no more forced, socially awkward scenario for meeting a person you like, might like, was recommended by a friend, Tinder’d, Facebook’d, Skyped, Chat Roulette’d, or Craigslist’d. While meeting people might be easier, or more confusing, than ever, the requisite dinner date never seems like a comfortable way to get to know a new person one-on-one.
