On Settling for Second Best


When Timing Isn't Everything.

After a consistent series of dead-end dates -- blind dates, online dates, dates-with-your-best-friend, dates-with-the-child-of-your-mother's-cousin's-neighbor -- it's easy to settle for second best. Friday Night Lights with homemade popcorn in place of bar crawls seeking singles half your age, followed by Sunday morning brunch lines passed amidst inside jokes and hand-holding oblivion, seems -- at a certain point -- well worth the trade-off. Until you catch a glimpse of the couple two tables down, radiating the real deal, unconcerned with the compromised couples around them, and to their own pasts, where (very likely) they, too, once admired this very fantasy from afar. Enjoy!
