What was it like meeting for the first time?

David: I wasn’t nervous to meet her face to face. It was the most excited I have EVER been to meet a date in person. I knew she had great style and taste, I just had to play it cool and not shoot a pint of blood out of my nose (there was plenty of time for that on the second date). We had set the date to meet for sushi at hip sushi bar downtown.

I felt like a night a with this smart, sweet, stylish woman would be a breeze, but choosing a sushi place was strategic. If we ever had a chance in hell, she would have to be cool with sushi. As we all know, NOT liking sushi is simply unacceptable behavior.....Luckily she tried everything I threw at her, she wasn’t afraid to try new things.

After dinner, I wanted to keep the night going with her, she was a good hang! We went across the street to a restaurant where my sister Kate was working, I wanted to show off my date. I just had that feeling in my bones that Bre Rodriguez would end up meeting my whole family at some point anyway, and now she’ll be a part of it!

Bre: I was looking forward to meeting him because even over our Tinder DMs, I could tell he was funny, sweet, and thoughtful (complimenting my sense of style from just my profile pics was a pro move). He chose sushi–I didn’t know it at the time but this was my first test (I passed)--and had me laughing from the get go. I was impressed with his hobbies, his conversation skills, and his sharp peacoat. When he wanted to keep the night going with a drink at Milk & Honey, it was an easy yes on my part. (I also met his sister Kate for the first time there that night!)
