Dating can be tough, so it may be a good idea for singles to go with quantity over quality when hitting the scene to increase their odds of matching with someone.That's what happens on "Dating Around." Each episode features a single who goes on five first dates that are filled with flirty banter, awkward exchanges and -- hopefully -- moments of true connection. Once the quintet of blind dates is over, the dater is tasked with picking one match who is worthy of a second date. The dating show takes an honest and compelling look at the real world of wooing potential mates.
