Ice cream and dating

Happy Friday! This week's nightlife column focuses on the challenges of ordering dessert on a first date. Some people say it's a "must," others say it's a recipe for disaster.

Today is Vanilla Ice Cream Day -- well, at least if you're willing to believe a website whose authors could "not find the creator, or the origin of this day."

Good enough for me.

Some daters use dessert choice as litmus test for how long a relationship will last. (Hmm. I guess choice in pie is a notch above salad matchmaking.)

Anyway, I can't help wondering: Is it possible to not pass judgment on a date who always gets vanilla ice cream?
