Or I’d notice I was being followed and then another flanked me and I realized I was trapped, and they meant me grave harm. Or being chased through a house with a kid I’d help escape but got pinned in on the deck — and stabbed. Always stabbed.''

Dear Fonseca
I'm on several dating apps. A guy asked me out for a coffee date. I accepted, but am having second thoughts because my friends are killing him. They say I should have not accepted the date because coffee dates are like a job interview. They also said he put absolutely no thought into the date to try and impress me. Several other friends like the coffee date because they say if I don't like him I can bolt after one drink. Which set of friends is right? Should I go on the date?
