🍟 Crown Burger

"We had known each other for a few years but hadn't yet been on a date. I was so nervous I could barely eat my burger and fries! He ate well and was clueless to my attraction. Anyway, we say now Crown Burger was where it all began."

🥖 Paris Baguette

"We met on Hinge and we chatted for about a week before I asked him on a date. I was excited to meet someone new, but at the same time, I didn't have high hopes. If I feel like there is a connection or chemistry, I like to ask my date to go on a walk and he agreed. We headed to a park, and then we went to Wheeler Farm.

Our coffee date ended up turning into a nearly five-hour date. We're still seeing each other."

🍻 Fiddler's Elbow (now-closed)

"I walked in and saw the cute guy sitting on the couch waiting for me: Dino, my date with a charming name and more charming personality. I made a remark in German ... and he replied in German. He went to an immersion K-12 school in Ecuador. He invited me back out to the car for a few dance spins in the parking lot. Then he lightly kissed me goodnight.

Eight years later, when I see Dino across the room, I say to myself, "that guy's got something."
