5. From 0 to 100 on a First Date

"From Zero to 100 on a First Date" is a real-life rom-com! David and Mimi's previous marriage had both ended, and the two find themselves alone during the Jewish high holidays, yearning for romance. When Mimi places an ad in the Jewish Bulletin's personals section, mentioning that she's "40 and stunning," David can't help but reply to her ad. When they meet for dinner on their first date, they find their offbeat senses of humor are a perfect match.

Read David's first-person story he wrote about meeting Mimi, featured in the Jewish Bulletin in January 2000.
