Ending a bad date

The guy that you have fancied for ages has asked you out on a date and you've spent all day getting ready.

The Power of Numbers

There is virtue in numbers and every person is under the influence of certain numbers. This has been taught as far back as the days of Pythagoras and a vast collection of books have been written concerning it.
