While some of us have a hard time landing a date, one of our readers is being subjected to "struggle dates" which is a thing, apparently. So far, her date has taken her to strange places that are not typical date destinations, including a cemetery! What if he just doesn't know how to plan a date? Should he stop trying? I believe that you don't need to be an expert or mind reader. You just have to pay attention to what the person is in to and plan around that.

She doesn’t want to insult him so she has yet to complain, but he keeps missing the mark. What would you do if your date had poor date planning skills or didn’t plan at all?

How do you plan your dates? What tips do you have for people who need help with date planning?

His ex-wife witnessed the arrest and said she thought the deputies were being rough but did not imagine that McBrayer would die. (Hyosub Shin/AJC)
