love (Continued from page 72) DATE FRY ME TO THE MOON Sky-high and deep-fried, with tequila on the side As Matt and Rob disembark their chariot at the San Diego County Fair, we offer them $50 cash and tell them to do whatever their hearts desire. Without a word, Rob snags the loot, and the two bound off and out of site. When we finally catch up, the boys are standing in line at the Mega Drop (having already braved two rides), waiting for their turn to be rocketed into the heavens by a highly trained carnie. “We spent all the money on ride tickets,” Rob says, seeming to rejoice in the rapid depletion of our blind date capital. After some frenetic up-and-down on the Mega Drop, the guys receive another (and final!) $50 and get ready to fill up on Fair fare. They inhale Italian sandwiches on their walk over to the health-food aisle, where they firm their arteries with deep-fried Twinkies and Klondike Bars—which they wash down with tequila shots. Before any food has a chance to make a command appearance, let’s split the couple for mid-date debriefings. PacificSD: How’s it going so far? MATT: It’s going fine. The funny part is, I applied for a job working with Rob. I was going to try to help him with his SceneOutSD, but we really never got in touch otherwise. He’s, like, really ambitious for his age. I almost see him more as competition than a love interest. ROB: It’s fun. I’m having a good time. Is this the type of person you’d normally date? MATT: I don’t know. I want to start dating people who are really ambitious, but in the long run I usually end up with a little more introverted types, because I like being the star of the relationship. We’ll see. I still think I’ll end up back with my introverted, big, loafy, monkey men. ROB: Um, probably not. He’s funny, though. That was one of my requirements. He’s a little shorter, too. What’s the most attractive thing your date has done so far? MATT: I feel like he respects me as a person, which is nice. I feel like it’s a very open dialogue. ROB: He’s funny; I think that’s attractive. He makes me laugh. What’s the least attractive thing your date has done so far? MATT: He totally just called my love for Superman “unoriginal,” which I get, but I still love Superman, so that kind of left a Kryptonite taste in my mouth. ROB: He hasn’t really done anything that’s been unattractive, but he does have a Superman T-shirt on. That’s kind of unattractive. Rate your date from one to 10 for looks? MATT: Do we have to put a number on it? Nasty! I’ll give him a seven. He’s not as big as I like my men. ROB: I’d give him like a seven. How about for personality? MATT: He’s definitely at least a nine. Rob’s a catch. I almost feel like I’m jealous of him in some ways, because he takes some of my good elements and improves on them. ROB: I’d give him like an 8.3. If you had to choose between leaving now with $100 cash or making out with your date, what would you do? MATT: I think we’re both smart enough that, even if we really liked each other, we’d both take the $100 and then go make-out behind everyone’s back. I wouldn’t respect him if he didn’t say the same thing. ROB: I would leave the Fair with $100. What could make this date more fun? MATT: A Tarot reading—we really want to see our futures, you know, because we’re going to end up together. ROB: Maybe another shot of tequila…and if a really hot, random gay guy came up to me and said, “Hey, what are you doing?” (Continued on page 76) 74 pacificsandiego.com {July 2011}
