At a Glance

Chou: He had a blue shirt on and he didn’t even have it tucked in. I didn’t expect him to dress up, but you should still dress nice for a date. I thought he was cute, but really young.

Dave: Nice shoes

Robbing the Cradle

Chou: He’s young and we have different perspectives. He’s a freshman and he wants to party, I’ve done that. I still party, but I’ve toned down.

Dave: I think once you’re in college, age doesn’t really make a difference. I thought our maturity levels were the same.

Bumpy Road

Chou: The most awkward part was driving in the car. He was so quiet. I kept touching his knee while shifting gears, and I didn’t want him to think it was on purpose.

Dave: (Laughs) Her driving annoyed me when we drove to the pool hall. I didn’t like her driving. We were supposed to go to Balls to play pool, but it was closed so we had to drive around to find another pool hall. We ended up at the Purple Porpoise, which is where we were supposed to end up for the third part of our date.

“. . . He couldn’t get the balls in”
Chou: I had a good time playing pool, it was something to talk about. He was getting mad cause he couldn’t get the balls in. He was very competitive, but I wouldn’t want him to let me win anyways.

Dave: Pool is one of my favorite things to do and I was winning.
You are the lamest date. . . Goodbye!

Chou: He left around 12 a.m. and I went back to the club and hung out with friends. I didn’t get home till three in the morning.

Dave: The date ended with me saying I had to leave. We exchanged numbers and a hug. Call me?

Chou: There were no sparks, so what’s the point. He was kind of conceited.

Dave: No, I found the date boring, and uninteresting. Chou and I didn’t really hit it off. I don’t really categorize a type for me, but after a long analysis and deliberation, I don’t think I will make her my mate for life.
