“I spend a lot of time saying to my kids, “Don’t do that or that,” while we watch The Bachelor. It’s kind of an object lesson in how not to comport yourself. “Don’t go on group dates. That’s not a thing. This is not normal. Don’t make out with eight people in one night. You don’t have to make out with somebody the first time you meet them at all. And if you do, maybe explore your relationship with that person for the entire rest of the day. As romantic as it might sound to arrange for a private concert with your date, it’s really not romantic and it’s very horrible and awkward. So if you’re ever tempted to pay for a tertiary-level pop star to serenade your date, don’t do it.”
