Once on a long road trip back in undergrad, my friend and I ended up thoroughly confusing ourselves by trying to decipher what "success" in dating actually means. 1 date? 10 dates? Marriage? Marriage without a divorce? Marriage despite a divorce? You ask anyone off the street and they'll say "Yeah, of course I want a successful relationship; I don't want an unsuccessful one". But we can't seem to agree on a good definition. We never came to a conclusion on that road trip and I still don't have a satisfying answer. $FLAVOR_OF_THE_WEEK promises "success" implicitly, but we never ask then what they mean by that. Maybe it's really just an opportunity to ask "what do I _really_ want?"
