Trevor and Shannon met at the Rotunda at 6 p.m. on Saturday and went to Lemongrass on the Corner.
Shannon: [I did Love Connection because] my roommates and I were kidding around one night and decided to fill out a survey and send it in.
Trevor: [Through Love Connection] I was hoping to meet some new people.
Shannon: I haven’t been on a blind date before. I didn’t really have any expectations — I guess just to meet a new friend.
Trevor: I’ve never been on a blind date before. I was expecting it to be painfully awkward and [full of] forced small talk.
Shannon: [When we met up] Trevor was talking with one of his friends, then we talked to him for a little bit, and then we walked.
Trevor: She seemed very nice, but quiet at first.
Shannon: My first impression [was] that he’s really tall. He was cute. He’s a third year — I thought he was kind of young-looking.
Trevor: Lemongrass is my favorite restaurant, so I proposed it and she said yes.
Shannon: [The date] was a really light-hearted conversation. We were just getting to know each other. We talked about what he wants to do [and] later on he asked a lot of questions about nursing school.
Trevor: The conversation was very casual — we talked about what she was studying, where she’s from, what she wants to do.
Shannon: I think the talking was pretty equal and balanced.
Trevor: I felt like I was chattering her ear off.
Shannon: He was texting a lot during dinner, which I thought was kind of rude.
Trevor: It was a pretty cut and dry date. We [are] both interested in psychology and medicine.
Shannon: We didn’t have much at all in common.
Trevor: I didn’t particularly feel like there was a lot of flirting going on. I felt like we were more friend-compatible people.
Shannon: I didn’t feel like there was [any] flirting going on at all. I don’t think we’ll hang out again — I don’t see us crossing paths anytime soon.
Trevor: I don’t see things going any farther than they did, apart from us being friends. We’re probably not going to hang out again.
Shannon: We split the check, we walked out of Lemongrass, we hugged, and then parted ways.
Trevor: I would rate the date a 5. It was pretty average all around. She seems like a great person, this just [isn’t] the right place and time for us to be together forever.
Shannon: I’d rate the date a 6.
