Ira and Ambi met at the Rotunda at 7 p.m. and went to Fig on the Corner.
Ambi: [I had] never been on a blind date — I didn’t have any expectations.
Ira: My first impression was that she’s pretty and dressed well. She had really nice shoes.
Ambi: [When I got there] Ira was already there — I was about five minutes late. I walked over and introduced myself. Ira seemed nice.
Ira: I asked her if she liked food and she said yes. Some friends of mine recommended Fig, so I asked her and she was okay with [it].
Ambi: I think Ira wanted to try something new, so I was fine [going] to Fig.
Ira: First [the conversation] was introductions and the usual major questions. There were some lulls, but there were some interesting things I learned about her.
Ambi: To be honest, I don’t think personally Ira and I got along too well. Ira seemed very nice but more of a social person or extrovert and I’m more of an introvert.
Ira: I felt [like] the talking was pretty balanced. She likes the NBA, she would date LeBron James if presented with the opportunity, she cooks at 4 a.m. and she’d never heard of Key & Peele.
Ambi: I felt like the conversation was pretty even. He did salsa dancing, which I found really surprising because I [don’t] know a lot of guys interested in dance. We both like dogs.
Ira: We split the check — she offered early on to go dutch.
Ambi: [The date had] more of a friendly vibe. Ira made a few Jewish references that I didn’t get.
Ira: At the end of the date, I pulled her aside and asked her how it went. I was completely honest and asked her what she thought of the date and what I did wrong. That was a great moment because we both said we weren’t a match and we were both completely honest there. It wasn’t really forced under a date setting anymore.
Ambi: We’re probably not going to hang out again. If I seem him, I’ll say hi. We both agreed that we didn’t have much chemistry and that we should just be Facebook friends.
Ira: I’d rate the date an 8 — she’s really nice and [it will be] nice to see another familiar face on Grounds.
Ambi: I’ll rate the date an 8.5.
