Dating and Other Theories

Dating Theory 1: Opposites attract . . .

Everything about the guy in the apartment next door drives Esther to distraction: his hipster beanie, his movie and food opinions and the fact that he won’t stop talking to her.

Dating Theory 2: Enforced proximity can lead to trouble . . .
