is that question on the [Date Lab] application that asks, ‘What song would describe the guy you’re going on a date with?’ ” I was like, “Did you put ‘Let’s Get It On’?” He nodded. Even in the dim room, with not a lot of light, he was clearly blushing. It was adorable. Blake: Oh, man! I told him not to bring that up! I would say there wasn’t really any obvious flirting. I have a buzzed haircut, and my hair is pretty soft. At one point, he leaned over and rubbed the top of my head a little bit. That was cute. Toward the end of dinner, he just kind of popped up out of nowhere and asked if he could get my number. I was glad. Mark: We went just a little over the [Date Lab] tab, so I left a 20. He asked if I wanted money, and I said, “No, you can grab the drinks next time.” We were getting ready to leave, and a manager came over and was like, “Hey! You want to head over to the Gibson? First round is on us.” You can’t say no to that. Blake: [The two of us] had fun with the bartender over there, who made us some strong cocktails. Then I think we realized it was pushing 11:30. We both said we were having a good time, but that since it was a Monday and we had a pretty busy week ahead, we should probably head off. We walked out [and] he had to head south and I needed to head east. He kissed me. It was basically a peck on the lips, and I’d say it lasted maybe a half a second. It was a nice way to end the date. Mark: I’ll give it a 4 [out of 5]. For me, I see Blake being the type of guy I may not notice at first, but when I do, I want to hang out with him and get to know more. Do I see it being a romantic thing? I don’t know. I genuinely had a good time. I will see him again. Blake: I would give it a solid 4. When I got home, I texted him and told him I had a nice time. In the morning, I had a couple texts from him saying he had a nice time, as well. I’d be interested in seeing him again, not under the microscope of Date Lab.
Update: Two weeks aſter the date, they’ve e-mailed, texted and friended each other on Facebook — but they’ve yet to meet up. Mark told us he’d “be happy to grab a beer” with Blake but had not yet contacted him.
