How I tried to date the old-fashioned way I never save a guy’s phone number when he texts me until I know that he really matters. This time, I took my hesitance a step further. I gave him only my first name. Getting to know me more — or just hearing from me ever again — would require showing up for a dinner date in six days. We’d each have no last name, social media account, or phone number to lean on for patchy communication or mindless internet stalking.
