    2025 application plan poll

    Draw season is forthcoming and somehow I am always reminded about attempting to ask out women for a meal or drink during my much younger years. The conversations usually went something like this… Me: “Hi, (insert her name here). Would you like to go out for dinner or a drink this weekend?”...
