So don't feel bad if you need to take a break from people.”

It was just natural. We did that even on our old albums. Who was ever writing or producing that album, they were in the room. So with Justin being there, it was kind of like riding a bike.

Dear Fonseca,
After being married for 14 years, I divorced and am now single. I had a date on Saturday night that I thought went well. My date sent me a text yesterday and chastised me for taking her to an early bird dinner. She said I'm classless and made her feel cheap because I took her to a discount dinner. She says if I really wanted to impress her I would have taken her to a regular dinner and not one that offered a discount for early dining. I don't think I did anything wrong. It was our first date. Why would I pay full price for someone I'm not sure I'm ever going to see again. I thought it was a smart move on my part. I haven't dated in 14 years so I'm not sure. What's your take on this?
