#46 Zoo Date | On Zoos
Google has the answer to everything. "What does nomophobia mean?" (fear of having no working mobile phone) "What do you give a dog that has high temperature?" (mustard, it's the best thing for a hot dog) "How do you keep the conversation going on a date?" (ask questions like, if you were an animal what would you be?)

#42 Shopping Date | On Similarities
There's the saying that opposites attract. We humans want someone to complement ourselves, to fill in the gaps, to be a versatile team together. However, this notion was refuted in a very scientific study (Andy et al., 69 Dates, 2021). In this breakthrough inquiry, the brilliant author noticed a disproportionate sample of chickies with identical first name letter(s) in his mating pool. Suffering through countless hours of non-stop rambling of those ladies about the superficial ...
