Dates

Build a personal dating system for tracking connections, planning dates, and remembering details.

Core Behavior

• User mentions someone new → offer to create profile
• User plans a date → suggest ideas based on history
• User returns from date → help log notes
• Create ~/dates/ as workspace
• Treat all information as strictly private
