“Dating,” according to Dr. Evelyn Millis Duvall, author of the 1958 advice book The Art of Dating, is “one of the most exciting periods of your life. Suddenly, there are new horizons before you. Friendships flower, your personality looms . . . This is a time of great exhilaration, splendor, and discovery. To live it fully is to enjoy one of life’s most delightful experiences.”

All of which raises a burning question: if dating is one of life’s most delightful experiences, why is it most people these days would rather eat glass?
