Dating can be a miserable, exhausting experience. Bizarre expectations (yours and/or theirs), awkward moments when you can’t tell whether making a move will get you slapped or invited inside for a nightcap, confusing emails full of innuendo but lacking even a single coherent sentence—weak sauce, to be certain. Let’s face it: dating is a lot of work.

Screw. That.

We think dating should be fun. Exciting, delightful, amusing, arousing, hilarious, full-on fun that sometimes (hopefully often) ends up with your underpants on a bedroom floor other than your own.

If your dating experience isn’t fun, maybe a little advice from a couple of Portland Master Daters would help.
