| Why Date Night is so Important |
| Between putting in long hours at work and catching up with friends, it can be hard to find solid quality time with your guy. But keep this in mind next time you're tempted to do a double-date to

| Why Guys Don't Bother To Call Back |
It’s the number-one question women have about dating. Does this scenario
sound familiar? You have a great time with Mr. First Date. Not a so-so,
marginal, you-can-sort-of-understand-why-it-didn’t work-out time. No,
this was clearly fun that was had by all.
He says he’ll call you, but when the phone doesn’t ring, you think, “OK,
maybe it’s too soon to hear from him.” One week later without a text,
tweet, email, or call, and you wonder what you did wrong. Why did he
disappear after the date that apparently only you thought was great?
