Honestly, does anybody even meet organically anymore?

Yeah, didn't think so. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, dating apps will be experiencing a lot more traffic. It's a great source for fishing out a random individual to experience a night out with. For singles ready to mingle, especially close to Valentine's Day, you'll no doubt be messaging a lot more people over the next week or so.

Now, before you dive right in to the '21-Questions' phase, be aware that your answers are the only thing your potential new someone has to gauge the type of person you are. You're probably thinking, "well, duh." But seriously, think about it. Think about how easily anything you say can be misinterpreted.
