When planning a first date on a dating app, should you propose a plan that requires equal travel time for both parties, or is it ok to be shamelessly optimistic and pick a place close to your home?
After a man suggested a bar that was beautifully convenient for him, but approximately an hour commute from his potential Hinge date, strangers of the internet everywhere were ready to engage in the drama.
