Dear Fonseca,
This is probably the dorkiest letter you'll ever get from a listener. I can't believe I'm writing this. I had a date on Friday night. We kept it casual and played mini golf and then went for hot dogs and hamburgers. I thought my date was kidding when he said he was going to put ketchup on his hot dog. He did and then asked for mayo and Ranch so he could dip his fries in them. I know this sounds stupid, but is someone's weird eating habits a reason not to date them. Putting ketchup on a hot dog is wrong. Is it me or him?
