Taste Test: Blind Dates

Blind Dates have a rotten reputation for a reason. They can be risky, at best, but not all of them have to end badly. In The Cure by Jodi Payne, researcher Jeremy humors his friend and meets Ben for a blind date. He thinks Ben is a little too arrogant, and decides there won't be a second date, but Ben's bravery in the face of danger might just change his mind. In Dinner and a Movie, by Alex Marcus-Jacobs, Mark's co-worker sets him up with another man, thinking it will be a great joke. Mark fools everyone, though, when he lets his curiosity have free rein. And in Catching Out, by Lee Benoit, Al is ready to take on a new relationship, so his family and friends set him up on a slew of blind dates. When he meets Mole, he sees a whole new life opening up. Can Al find the courage to go for it? Find out how these blind dates turn out!
