You can meet people who pretend to care and love you .You can meet people and get out of your shell .None of the above choices .You can meet terrible people who may ruin your life .
What may going on dates do to change ones life ?
To say yes to dates ( within reason * ) , to go out more often , to chat people up ( even to approach people ) . The whole point of this I guess is to use my own to change my life . One date at a time .
