“Dating Around” is a unique show about testing the waters and weighing your options.

In each episode, one singleton goes on five identical first dates — the setting is the same in each, right down to the restaurant and the dater's outfit.

The dates are filled with flirty banter, awkward exchanges and moments of true connection.

Inevitably the singleton chooses the one person that stood out from the pack to go on a second date.
