Kenyon and Amy met on Thursday at 7:45 p.m. and went to Basil on the Corner.

Kenyon: I was signed up by my friend Julia. We were in [Clemons] and made profiles for each other and I was the one that got selected.

Amy: My roommate and I got a big kick out of it our first year, and had always wanted to do it. She’s had a boyfriend since then so I ended up being the one to do it.

Kenyon: When I found out I was chosen, I started laughing — I wasn’t expecting it. A lot of my stuff in my profile was made up, but I wasn’t going to be a poor sport about it. I thought it’d be fun to just go for it.

Amy: At first it wasn’t great timing because I’ve got a test this week, but since I’d wanted to do it for a long time I was excited.

Kenyon: I may have been like one minute late to the Rotunda, but we were both pretty much right on time. Upon first impression she seemed super nice, and I could tell by the way she carried herself that she was a caring individual. It was definitely [a] good conversation and an overall positive first impression.

Amy: I was basically right on time and he was two minutes late. I’m usually late to things so it wasn’t a big deal, and he apologized for being late. My first impression was that he was immediately friendly and relaxed. I suggested Mellow Mushroom and Basil and he liked the idea of Basil — I had never been!

Kenyon: Overall the conversation was pretty balanced. I asked a lot of questions sometimes if it was in a lull or quiet at all. She did have some funny stories about growing up in a rural town in Virginia. As a whole the conversation wasn’t awkward at all.

Amy: It was pretty easy and friendly. On the way to the restaurant he ran into four different friends on four different occasions, which was pretty funny. He even knew someone at the restaurant! The conversation was pretty even — he let me talk a lot (probably too much) and we talked about travel, activities in life, where we’re from, etc.

Kenyon: There wasn’t a whole lot of common ground because she had a different major than me, was from a different area and didn’t really have any similar interests as me. We did have a lot of interesting things to talk about though. I paid at the end.

Amy: He paid for dinner — he said his mom would kill him if he didn’t.

Kenyon: I got more of a friend vibe. She seemed like a great person and I could see myself spending time with her. Our interests don’t align super closely but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t be friends.

Amy: It was definitely more of a friend vibe, but we did make jokes about it being a date. He was a lot of fun to be around but I don’t see us going on another date.

Kenyon: It ended with me walking her back because it was on the way home for me. We hugged and we went our separate ways.

Amy: We almost got hit by a car, hugged and said goodbye. As he was leaving I shouted down the street afterwards because I realized I didn’t know his last name. We then became Facebook friends later on.

Kenyon: I would go with a 7.

Amy: I’d give him a 7.6. It was a generally good time and I had fun!
