Buzz. You pick up your phone to a new message. “Hey babe, can we talk when you’re free?” Your chest gets tight. Your body goes cold. You realize you should have seen this coming. You've been dating this great woman for a month or two, and now she wants to DTR.

You’ve marked the date in your calendar and sent off your RSVP, but you probably haven't given much thought to faux pas.
