Most dates consist of two people. Some dates happen at German restaurants in Silver Lake. And some dates include a very persistent Lithuanian bar patron named Edward. He insisted on participating in the blind date and answering all the questions our datees did, in broken English. He said: “If you have me on the date, you will have a blast. If you set me up on this its gonna flow like a river, the Nile River.” And who are The Wing Girls to deny the Nile?
The Daters:
LEX: “I’m drawn toward a guy who is quietly confident, adventurous, good head on his shoulders and doesn’t take life too seriously. I am much more attracted to guys who are motivated by passion over money. I am really attracted to guys who take the lead and are outgoing."
JACOB: “I want to meet someone who has control of their baggage, has their own
life, doesn’t take everything so damn seriously, has similar
interests, has opposing interests, is a freak…uh. That’s it."
EDWARD: “Blonde with big boobs.”
TAKE OFF
Describe your date in 5 words.
J: Sweet, confident, cute, grounded, smart
L: complex, comfortable, a little aloof, nice guy, cute
E: Date as an entity or another person?
How’s it going? The good the bad the ugly….any deal breakers?
J: Surprisingly comfortable. I thought I would be more nervous.
L: This is the 1st blind date he’s ever been on, this is my 2nd. I feel like it’s going well. We have things in common-with work.
E: Unbelievable.
Do you feel like there’s a potential/connection?
J: It’s too early to tell.
L: Not at first-maybe could be going that way. He’s kinda searching for things to talk about though.
E: With who? With me and you? (looks at Jet) Yes, Yes to both.
FLIGHT
Name one funny thing your date said.
J: “I gotta go for the potato pancakes because I’m a raging Jew.”
L: We both studied in Florence. We’re reminiscing.
E: That guy (pointing to Jacob) said “I think they should pay you.” I was probably really good.
What’s a physical thing you noticed about your date?
J: She’s attractive, has a good body.
L: He’s adorable. Great eyes. Good Hair, has a full head of it. He’s Italian. I love Italians.
E: I always look at the eyes, its important.
What’s one of their most attractive qualities?
J: She’s not afraid to sacrifice to get where she needs to go.
L: He’s very warm. He’s easy to talk to. He’s got a good smile. He talked about his dog. That’s the reason he isn’t really ready for kids, because of his dog.
E: (Points to Jet’s emerald earrings) The earrings, those are pretty good.
LANDING
1. How did it go?
J: It went well, it was effortless.
L: Went well. Good conversation.
E: FABULOUS!
Is he/she your type?
J: No but my types haven’t worked out for me in the past.
L: Gray area. Interested in finding out more about me but not putting the moves on. Maybe a little censored.
E: (coughs) Bullshit.
What are things about her/him that appeal to you? What turns you off?
J: It was appealing that we could have a real conversation.
L: We have a lot in common. I kinda feel like I could help his cynisim. You gotta have a little bit of that asshole factor to have a spark. Maybe if he was a little edgier…
E: (Turns to Jet and Star.) Are you guys twins? (We say fraternal.) Ohhh good, that’s the way it should be.
Would you be interested in going out again? Or being friends? Or getting married?
J: I would hang out with her as friends and see what happens.
L: No weddings but I’d go out again or hang out as friends.
E: Yes, but I think you would have to get circumcision.
Any potential problems you foresee?
J: Just this Lithuanian.
L: Hard to tell from a first date but he was very real, which is good.
E: No, not at all. I’m a therapist, a hypno therapist.
Overall, rate your date:
J: 4
L: 3
E: 4 ½ (I’m not greedy or anything.)
BOTTOM LINE: So, maybe there was no love connection in Little Germany, but at least our Lithuanian has something to write home about.
