Built from real-world experience
Welcome to First Date Lad.
I didn't learn dating from a textbook. I learned through a lot of trial and error.
Some were great. Some were disasters. Most taught me something. First Date Lad turns those experiences into practical advice for getting the date, having a better one, and hopefully not needing another 224.
