Shayla - Date #2: Clark Kent*

Name*: Clark Kent

Date Description: This was truly an enjoyable date! We met up for lunch at Applebee's in the gateway. It was the first blind date I've ever had where I met my date somewhere, having no idea before hand what the person I was looking for looked like...but it was easy, he was the tall, dark and handsome man waiting for me at the entry way.
Over lunch we sat and chatted about many different aspects of life. I think the thing I enjoyed so much about this date was that it was simple (lunch) but extremely stimulating conversation. Clark Kent lives in Philadelphia and we talked about the different cultures of the cities we live in. Conversation flowed from one topic to another with no awkward pauses, it was wonderful! I honestly tried to eat slowly because I was enjoying myself so much--but eventually the time came and we parted ways.

Best Quality: I think Clark Kent must have a knack for making people comfortable--at least that was the case with me! I felt as if I were sitting across the table from a life-long friend to whom I would turn for advice. That is a quality that is not easy to find.

Highlight of Date: The way the conversation made me think about my life. I love that it wasn't a "You live too far away so all we're going to talk about is things that don't really matter" date.

How do you know the person you're on a date with? Blind date thanks to the fabulous Hawaiian Haystack*.

Describe the date in one word? Intriguing.
Thanks Clark Kent for a fantastic time!

*Names have been changed.
