You arrived yesterday and met all of your suite mates. Today is your first day of dates! This morning your phones were all taken from you and will be returned either when you go home or at the start of stage 3! No social media, no contact with the outside world, just a chance for you to focus on your connections with other people here. (You were told this would be the case when you first signed up to be a participant)
The first round of dates will be relatively quick. You'll get a chance to meet all the ladies/gents. The first dates will last about 10-20 minutes (IC) and the purpose is a short little getting to know you.
Here are some topics you might consider talking about (though it's TOTALLY up to you):
General lifestyle (partier/works a lot/spends most time at home alone)
Occupation
Hopes for this event/what you're looking for in a spouse
Hobbies/Passions
RULES
- Remember to keep physical descriptions out of your conversations.
- Each person gets only 10 posts in this thread!
- Posts are limited to 150 words! The idea is to give your characters a little taste but leave them wanting MORE!
Will you start to make a connection today? Let's find out!
This date is for Valeria Winter & Percy West!
You enter the pods, one person on each side in a soundproofed room. This allows you to feel totally secluded and private from the other participants who may be near you. This is your chance to get a feel for the women/men who are here and who you might be interested in continuing to get to know!

"So I have the most important question and I'm going to get that out of the way. Can you cook? Because I want to marry someone that can cook." All bets were off, Valeria was going to be lighthearted and pretty blunt here.

Percy laughed, well there was an upfront woman. "Umm maybe. That really depends on what you consider good cooking skills. I like to think I can feed myself but that also includes stuff like hamburger helper boxes and a pretty great relationship with my instant pot. I guess I can learn a recipe if I really want to, but I'm nowhere near a cordon blu chef or anything."
"What would be in your perfect smoothie?"

"Oooo good question!" Valeria said. "Let me think... oh hey your cooking skills sound better than mine, so I guess you pass, for now at least." She paused for a moment to think. "Peanut butter for sure, bananas, and probably some kind of berry like blackberries. If it's not sweet enough, I'd add some honey or marshmallow fluff." she decided.

"So that's like an Elvis sandwich, but in smoothie form," Percy suggested, "honestly I'm not that picky with smoothies as long as its drinkable with a straw. My sister used to make wine smoothies so it was healthy and a good time."

"Your sister is doing something right for sure. I wonder what a beer smoothie would taste like, I doubt it would be good but I can't knock it until I try it!" Valeria said "Sorry I'm a total dork like that, so do you play any sports or anything?" Valeria asked.

"I don't think you're a dork, I think you're pretty creative," Percy reassured the woman on the other side. "The closest thing to sports that I do is, ok you might judge me for this, but I dance ballet, and I'm pretty darn good at it. Dancing in the middle of the night is one of my favorite things." Percy admitted, more shamelessly than he imagined he would.

"Dude, ballet takes like killer core strength, it's pretty badass," Valeria said. "Did you know that hockey players sometimes do ballet-inspired exercises to keep their ankles strong? I don't play hockey because I'm not that good of a skater, but I watch it a lot. I'm not that good at dancing and I totally trip over my own feet. I snowboard and I'm pretty awesome at paintball."

"That is totally news to me, though I would probably piss myself if I was put into a hockey game," Percy said with a laugh, "I'm not saying I'm a chicken, but I'm not exactly built for a rough and tumble life. See, I make my living with my hands so I can't do stuff where I might break an arm. So where'd you learn all that stuff? It sounds like it takes a lot of dedication."

"Don't worry, hockey players are a special breed, even I wouldn't want to get in a fight on the ice," Valeria said, "So what do you do that involves your hands so much?" she asked.

"I'm a musician, mostly a violinist but I play other stuff too. I'm not a rockstar or anything, but I write songs for other people sometimes. The only sport I was halfway decent at was when I took tennis lessons for a year when I was like 9. I like to think I was good for a nine year old but I don't have beyond the skill of a nine year old now" Percy said. "Do you play any instruments?"

"Ummm instruments, nope, but I like listening to music. My mom's into vinyl so I grew up listening to a lot of old music stuff, like jazz musicians. I can't say I know much about it, but it's in some of my strongest childhood memories," Valeria said, "I guess we don't have a whole lot in common, but I can tell you're a really sweet person."
