You have to be hopefully grounded when you get into dating, but not everybody is. Most people probably aren't. And you have to have more eyes open and be mindful of your vulnerabilities.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Let’s travel back in time to the height of quirky hipsterdom, 2009, and dive into 500 Days of Summer!
