| A modern guide to dating
The first encounter that puts you back into the game. Often follows a particularly devastating rejection or the demise of a long relationship. What it means: You're not looking for Mr. or Ms. Right; you're just trying to rediscover your dating legs. The Breeze-By Date A brief date with someone you're not sure is dating material. Always good to include an easy-to-cancel escape plan -- say, you have to visit your sick Aunt Matilda at 8:30 p.m. -- in case the date flops. What it means: It's just having coffee or a drink with the intention of seeing if the person is worth a serious pursuit. The Buffet Date That rare online dating phenomenon when you schedule a succession of meetings on the same night. The romantic equivalent of stuffing your face at Fresh Choice.
