An good date is essentially boring, except for the people involved. The two suitors meet, click, have a great time, and leave, without a single strand of spaghetti gone awry, or a single glass of red wine embarrassingly overturned.
An interesting date, on the other hand, is like a movie. There is instantly conflict between the characters, unexpected unpleasant twists occur, and circumstances conspire to ensure that there are a series of dreadful challenges to be overcome before success is attained (Hollywood) or both suitors die in poverty and humiliation (arthouse).
Like any movie, the outcome depends on the protagonist (that's you). How do you react under the terrifying stress of coping with disaster and trying to be hot at the same time? Delve within, and expose your naked, shameful, trembling inner being on the night of your most DISASTROUS DATE.
