There's a temptation in dating to keep things on the surface. If you get too deep into things you might lose the relationship. Monica is a single parent dating a single dad, Justin. They're having fun and the kids get along great but his former wife calls the shots when it comes to his kids. Monica is concerned and she should be, but she's afraid to bring it up. Okay, going deep might burst her fantasy. All I know is, there's no future in shallow. Find your courage and go deep.
