love (Continued from page 72 ) Flavor of the Day Dinnertime in Del Mar DATE It’s Friday night, and Flavor Del Mar is packed. In the main bar/lounge area, after-work stock broker types in loosened ties are rubbing elbows with dudes in flannels and dudettes in high-boots and short-shorts. Despite their differences in appearance, the factions are comingling well (and you just know that suits and scenesters alike will all end up across the street at Jimmy O’s later this evening—it’s not just Del Mar’s finest night spot, it’s also the only one). A smiling hostess escorts the daters across a small footbridge to a private table by the fireplace in the main dining room. They order dinner, drinks and dessert, chatting and smiling the entire time. From the magazine crew’s vantage point, the couple seems to be hitting it off. After about an hour and a half at Flavor, Jessica and J.R. head back to the limo for the quick ride inland to Club M, the new restaurant, nightclub and sports bar at the luxurious and regal five-star Grand Del Mar resort. Before they go inside to enjoy exclusive bottle service by the dance floor. they’re split for mid-date debriefings. PacificSD: How’s it going so far? JESSICA: He’s really sweet. He’s fun. We get along really well. J.R.: It’s going really well. I think that she’s a really cute girl and she’s got a great personality, which goes a long way with me. How was dinner at Flavor? JESSICA: I had the scallops and he had the short ribs. Everything was amazing, I’m a huge fan of the chef there. J.R.: Flavor was awesome. I had the short ribs, which were amazing. It was prepared a little different than what I’m used to, unbelievable. She had the scallops, which were really good, too. What was your first impression of your date? JESSICA: I have a confession I have to make— J.R. and I actually know each other. He’s kind of casually dating one of my best friends. J.R.: Let’s just say I was shocked, because we knew each other. Is this the type of person that you would normally date? JESSICA: Yeah, he’s cool, he’s sweet, he’s outgoing and fun—and just, like, down-to-earth. We get along really well. J.R.: She’s great; she’s everything that I look for. What’s the least attractive thing your date has done so far? JESSICA: Nothing. J.R.: I guess the least attractive thing is that I went out with her best friend. What would your parents say if you brought your date home? JESSICA: I think they would approve. He’s like a generally nice guy. J.R.: Oh, they would love her. I come from a big family—I have seven brothers and sisters—and she’s kind of got like a little spunky personality, which goes a long way with my family. Rate your date’s looks on a scale from one to 10. JESSICA: I would say probably like an eight. J.R.: She’s a 10. How about for personality? JESSICA: Like a nine or a 10. He’s funny. J.R.: Ten. Does your date want to kiss you right now? JESSICA: No. J.R.: Yes. Do you want to kiss your date right now? JESSICA: No J.R.: Yes Out of 49 PacificSD blind dates, this is the first time (we know of) that a dater was already dating the other dater’s best friend. Here at America’s Finest magazine, while we certainly wouldn’t want to break up BFFs—with Jessica giving J.R. an eight and a 10, and J.R. being ready to give and/or receive a kiss—at least we can cross our fingers and hope for melodrama. After the mid-date interviews, Jessica and J.R. head into Club M for drinks and dancing. Inside, the crowd is a little older than what you’d find on Garnet Avenue or in the Gaslamp, but the energy level is high, and the dance floor is hopping. (Continued on page 76 ) THANK YOU!
