First Date in Nine, Yes, Nine Years…
Holidate was my first blind date experience! I had never been on one. Frankly, I hadn’t been on any dates since I was 19. I gave city-swapping a shot because I have made myself a promise to try everything once. Swapping cities took me out of my element and I made me jump into the dating world, I don’t think I would have dated here in Seattle yet if I was not given this opportunity.
I wasu nervous about dating on TV, but even more nervous about dating in general! My dates in Philly were my first dates in nine years!! Yes! Nine! Dating is scary, dating on TV is out of this world frightening, but I’d do it all over again!
The most awkward moment of any of my dates was just meeting the guys. I’m so used to making friends with every guy I meet that potentially meeting someone more than a friend was really scary. The best moments were just laughing and having fun with the guys! They all made me laugh, even if it was at myself!! The most memorable experience overall was with Ryan. He was so smart and in-tune with everything we talked about, he kept eye contact, and was such a gentleman. We had so much in common from our families, past relationships, and our professional goals that I really felt like we would be friends from the time we met…however his bright blue eyes and overall looks are quite nice! I found him very attractive in so many ways.
Since the show I have kept in touch with all the guys. Keith and I exchanged some texts and emails, he is really sweet and funny! Harry and I exchanged some texts, emails and calls — he is a blast and I can see us being pals. Ryan and I have talked pretty often, we exchange texts and emails as well. I look forward to talking with him every time! He is a prime example of a gentleman! He’ll be out in Seattle late September, and I’m really excited to take him out and show him more of myself and Seattle. Jen is AWESOME!! Love that girl, we have keep in touch and both know we have made great friends from this experience. My Holidate experience was truly a gift!!
