I realize this phrase doesn’t always have the purest connotations, but as a romance writer, parent, and teacher I decided to read a couple of books on the topic. In an age when the marriage rate has plummeted and many are simply not getting married, how can we encourage people to date and eventually marry in healthy ways?

Here’s the blurb for my short story:
Alone on Valentine’s Day with only his viola for a date, Vince decides to drown his sorrows at the university coffee shop. In a room full of love-struck couples, Gaby’s alternative guitar music doesn’t quite strike a romantic tone. Can she find anyone who appreciates her original style?
