DATE #4<br />
The Old Fashion<br />
Blind Date<br />
<strong>Aries</strong> Editor set up Lee up<br />
with Ron*. A 25-year-old<br />
construction worker. We<br />
told Lee that he has dark<br />
brown hair and works with<br />
his hands. We told Ron* that<br />
Lee was 28 and gorgeous.<br />
We asked them to meet at 5<br />
p.m. at a local bar. That’s it.<br />
*Names Have Been Change<br />
THE DATE<br />
I had a lot of anxiety going into this<br />
once. I didn’t even know what he<br />
looked like—what if I couldn’t find<br />
him? Luckily, when I got there, I<br />
saw a guy sitting and looking at the<br />
door, so I figured it was him. “Ron?”<br />
I mouthed and he nodded. He was<br />
cute—medium cut hair, jeans, and a<br />
collared shirt. I introduced myself,<br />
and ordered a vodka soda, and then<br />
got to it. “So I know nothing about<br />
you!” I said. He laughed and started<br />
to talk about his life and how he’d<br />
got this point.<br />
The rest of the date was wonderful.<br />
We didn’t have a romantic<br />
vibe, but I was cool with that. It was<br />
more like a meeting of the minds.<br />
We spent an hour at our current bar<br />
and hopped to another one and talked<br />
more. We parted ways with a friendly<br />
good-bye hug.<br />
THE SCORE<br />
Although I didn’t know anyting<br />
about Ron*. I had a good<br />
time. The convo was great.<br />
It’s great having a new friend.<br />
THE FINAL VERDICT<br />
No matter how you swing<br />
this, I like the OkCupid<br />
app the best of all. It gave<br />
me a chance to express<br />
myself a little more & see<br />
who thinks the same. It’s<br />
a shame that I Kyle* happened<br />
to be on SCRUFF,<br />
but hey! Ron* & I are still<br />
dating to this day, we have<br />
clicked! We have a lot more<br />
in common than I thought.<br />
Grindr was something I<br />
didn’t care for & would<br />
never go back too. Just too<br />
many hungry men who are<br />
just looking for one thing.<br />
