Name: Rohan

Year: Second

School: College

Major: Undecided

U.Va. Involvement: Beta Theta Pi

Hometown: Blacksburg

Ideal Date Personality: Fun-loving, not too shy, outgoing, funny, happy, smart, open, not uptight but put together.

Ideal Date Activity: Going out to dinner, watching a movie, cooking dinner and mini golfing.

Deal breakers: Quiet or too uptight.

What makes you a good catch? I’d like to think I’m pretty down to earth. I am funny in a slightly intelligent, cheesy way. I am a great in-the-shower singer. I’d say I’m pretty attractive for an Indian dude. I can get along with most people. I can hold a conversation. I’m in shape, and I can laugh at myself.

What makes you a less-than-perfect catch? I don’t have the best self-discipline. I can be lazy, and I am not too punctual.

Rohan and Kiley met at the Rotunda at 6 p.m. and went to The Virginian on the Corner.

Kiley: I signed up for Love Connection because it just sounded really interesting — like something fun to do and a way to meet new people.

Rohan: I signed up for Love Connection because a friend of mine had strongly suggested that I fill out the survey and told me, “It’ll be fun! And for all you know, you might end up meeting your Mrs. Kumar.” I have never believed in online dating, but something about Love Connection seemed promising.

Kiley: I was really surprised [I was picked] so early, because I only submitted my application like maybe a week or two ago. I didn’t really expect it to happen that fast, but I was excited.

Rohan: [When I heard I was picked] I was ecstatic — it was similar to the reaction I have when I get the rare Tinder match.

Kiley: I’ve never been on a blind date before, so I didn’t know what to expect. I felt like it could go either really good or really bad — both ends of the extremes. I had no idea.

Rohan: I have not [been on a blind date before], but I thought it would be cool to try. I was expecting it to be love at first sight.

Kiley: It started pouring [when I was waiting] so I had to run across the street for cover. I was soaking wet, my makeup was running down my face — soaked head to toe. I ran across the street to Madison Hall and he walked over with his umbrella a couple of minutes later. Once we got past the rain, everything was really good.

Rohan: I saved the day with my giant umbrella. I sort of felt like a superhero, except that initial connection was not really there. I didn’t get any butterflies, but I assured myself that no one really has love at first sight.

Kiley: We just tried to pick somewhere close [for dinner] so we decided on The Virginian. When we walked in the door, there was literally a puddle on the floor — we were so soaked.

Rohan: I suggested that we go to The Virginian because I figured it was a little classier than Boylan or Little John’s, and I like to keep it classy.

Kiley: He seemed like he was a really nice guy. He came up with the umbrella and automatically offered to let me under it, which I appreciated. He was really friendly when he walked up. It was really obvious [I was his date] because no one else was standing outside in the rain.

Rohan: My first impression was that she was a little shy, funny, bubbly and nice.

Kiley: I was scared it would be awkward, but luckily with the rain, it was easy to start the conversation off so it didn’t feel awkward at all. I’m more on the quiet side, so he was leading the conversation more, but it was still pretty balanced.

Rohan: As we waited for the food, we were soaking wet because of the rain and the vent [above] us kept dripping water. But we treaded on and started talking about our pasts and what we [plan] on studying. It wasn’t that awkward because anytime there was a silent void, I tried to say something. I [feel like] the conversation was generally balanced, but I wish she would have brought more to the table.

Kiley: We talked about all the basics, music and our interests. We [like] a lot of the same artists, which was cool. We’re both really interested in football. We both had the same thing off the menu too — the buffalo chicken sandwich.

Rohan: We didn’t really have much in common except for our love [of] buffalo chicken sandwiches and fries. Overall, I just [got] more of a friend vibe.

Kiley: I got more of a friend vibe — there could have been a little bit [of flirting] but not really that much. I would be willing to hang out again as friends; I think we could be good friends. I enjoyed talking to him and it was a fun couple [of] hours to be with him.

Rohan: I probably couldn’t see myself going out with her again. I am sure if I saw her around I would say hi and ask how she’s doing, but we didn’t really hit it off.

Kiley: [At the end of the date] he paid for dinner. I tried to pay for [the] tip but he said no, which was really cool. He had somewhere he had to be, so we left around 7:30 p.m. and I got on the bus to head home.

Rohan: It ended fine — after we got the check, we walked out and walked towards the Lawn and then left on our separate ways.

Kiley: I would rate the date a 7 or 8. I had a fun time and enjoyed talking to him.

Rohan: I would rate the date a 6. [She’s] a great girl, but just not really my type. It isn’t her, it’s me.
