You could also boost Hot Date with strength-boosting cards such as Spineapple if the damage output is not enough.
Against
Hot Date may be fragile, but he can mess up your strategies and easily take out any zombie with 3 health or less. The best way to handle him is to destroy him with high-health zombies. Armored and shielded zombies excel at this, as their traits reduce the damage they take. Any zombie with high health will do, however. You can use Rolling Stone to destroy him, but keep in mind that he may destroy any zombie you have there.
If you are a Sneaky zombie hero, you can use Smoke Bomb to move the zombie, and then play any trick you like to destroy him. Hot Date is harmless if there is nothing on his lane, unless your opponent uses Spineapple or boosting tricks. You can also Bounce him to remove Hot Date from the field, preventing the ability for a turn.
