DATE
M-azing
The blind date
heats up at North
County’s new
nighttime hotspot
Sitting at their private table
by the fireplace at Club M,
Jessica and J.R. pour drinks
from their complimentary
bottle of Grey Goose vodka.
They talk and laugh together briefly,
then step into the action to shake their
respective groove thangs—first with each
other, then with other Club M patrons.
Once the daters have boogied all the
way over to the side of the room, the
magazine crew (minus the designated
driver) drains a few fingers (each) of
the Grey Goose bottle (it’d be a shame
to waste it) and begins to pack up.
Then, like so many Frenchmen, we
vanish into the night without a word,
finally leaving the daters alone to enjoy
the rest of their evening in privacy.
The next morning, we call to see
what we missed.
PacificSD: Overall, how was the big night?
JESSICA: It was fun. To be honest, part of me was
super-relieved that I knew J.R., so we were able to
just relax and have fun—even though that kind of
defeats the purpose of a blind date.
J.R.: The overall date was great. Dinner was great,
and drinks at club M in Del Mar was a blast. You
go on a date with me, and it’s kind of hard not to
have a good time.
How was Club M?
JESSICA: Club M was a trip. I don’t venture into
North County too often, and it definitely upheld
its “Cougar Den” reputation. We drank a couple
of vodka-cranberries, then decided to socialize,
make new friends and have a good laugh.
J.R.: Had some Jäger bombs and vodka and
danced with Jessica a while. Then we quickly

realized the cougars at this place is where it’s at.
They couldn’t keep their hands off of us.
Describe the limo experience.
JESSICA: Limos are always fun. We drank
champagne, laughed about what a small world
San Diego is, blasted the radio. You know, the
usual.
J.R.: Well, this limo wasn’t as big as mine, but it
worked for the occasion. Put a little Jay Z on—big
pimpin’, baby! I had her at “hello.”
What was the best part of the date?
JESSICA: Dinner at Flavor Del Mar for sure.
J.R.: Cougar hunting at Club M.
What happened after the magazine crew left?
JESSICA: We finished the rest of our drinks,
hopped in the limo and went down to Fluxx to
meet up with some friends.
J.R.: We decided to head over to Fluxx nightclub,
or should I say, “The best place on earth.” Disney
has nothing on Fluxx! We did a little Spanish
Lambada on the dance floor until our clothes
came off. Oh, wait, was that at the end of the
night? I don’t remember.
There are plenty of fish in the sea,
but somehow J.R. managed to get
hooked up with two of them that were
already best friends. Perhaps the “relationship
commonsense” he spoke of earlier is really
something more akin to ESP.
When asked if J.R. were the kind of person she’d
date, Jessica said, “Yeah, he’s cool, he’s sweet, he’s
outgoing and fun.” She said she didn’t want
to kiss him, though, which means
she’s a best friend that comes with
benefits—in this case, loyalty.
Not counting any real or
imagined pantsless Lambada
at Fluxx, for J.R., it seems
that Jessica is a friend
without benefits. But don’t
shed a tear for our young
engineer. He’s probably
chin-deep in cougars by
now. Rawrrrrrrrr!
