Fifth Date, written by Lori Boyd and directed by Lynn Sharp Spears, a pre-Y2K romcom about the pressures and anxieties of reaching that number of dates.

Dating in your 30s comes with baggage. Reaching the fifth date is a turning point in any relationship. The rules! The expectations! It’s all so overwhelming, especially when the voice in your head, the one saying all the things you’d never actually say or do, is getting louder. But, if those alter egos get too much control, will they help the relationship flourish or fizzle? Jil and Ted are about to find out as they (and their alter egos) go on their FIFTH DATE.
