The best date I went on was one my best friend set up with a mutual contact. We agreed not to reveal too much info about ourselves before the date, set it up almost immediately, and saved all the conversation for in-person. I can't let go of the meet-someone-cutely-IRL fantasy so I thought that was the next best experience.
