Date #1: Monday - 2 March
Dan, 23, Pre-Med Student
(The above description looks like something off of daytime tv show. Good grief!)
I met Dan through a friend of a friend a few years ago. We were reunited at a funeral this winter. Not the happiest of meeting spots, but a good chat was had, all the same. Over a later conversation he mentioned a heavenly soup and to-die-for dessert at The Porcupine, a local eatery. The tomato-basil bit of heaven is Monday's soup of the day, so we picked that day and went for it!
He picked me up (and opened the door for me, as always - points for him!) and we headed up toward the canyon. At The Porcupine, we were led to sit opposite each other at a very long table for two. We laughed and chatted about this and that while waiting for our twinner meals -- I love being able to say "I'll have the same" after he orders; like we're one of those annoying couples in the movies.
The soup - that is not a bisque, I stand corrected - was smooth and creamy and perfect! To follow, we shared their signature dessert - a chocolate cream cake covered in chocolate and made to resemble a porcupine... Oohhhh... To share, naturally he had to move around the side of the table, to be closer and "more romantic", he said.
We'd only planned on dinner, but on the spur of the moment ended up going back to his place... where I watched him jam on Guitar Hero (I'm not coordinated enough to do it myself) and then shared our secret passion... No, not that, sick-o's! I'm talking about watching old episodes of 'Star Trek' series. You don't have to attend conventions or learn Klingon to appreciate the pop culture phenom of Star Trek. So we did. And it's not really a passion... but good clean fun.
More points for him for making sure I got home early enough to be ready for work the next day. I love that he respects me enough to care about my time and responsibilities... mostly. He's pretty cute - dark hair, good build, super funny! Think Jack Black. Only cuter.

Yes, this is the Dan you know. And the one Hutch knows as well.
