(Spoiler alert: If you have not read the Blinded by Love cover story, this will give away how certain dates ended.)
Ah, yes. Love. Or lack there of. Four guys and four girls let 605 readers vote who they should go on a blind date with. Here are the updates of the good, the bad, and the awkward as of Feb. 1.
Alex + Andrea
(Pictured above)
Alex did end up going out with Andrea again that following Thursday at kRav’N. He “paid for the meal like a gentleman” and she covered the tip, which he was very impressed with. They still text, but both are busy at the moment. Alex was just in Minneapolis last week and now is back, hoping to arrange something soon.
Andrea did not respond to 605’s attempts.
Larry + Kelli
Their date at Carnaval Brazilian Grill went off without a hitch (besides Kelli repeating questions, kudos to her nerves). Kelli said though Larry did not end up coming out for her birthday for birthday shots (she decided to stay in and went out with girlfriends later that week) they did hang out at Tre Lounge this past week. After she finished up dinner with a friend and Larry finished up at the gym, the pair met up for drinks. She said “right now it’s friendly” and she is unsure about her schedule because it is hectic. She does want to keep getting to know him.
Larry did not return 605’s phone calls.
Will + Rae
Rae made the update short and sweet (though her story is not): “We have not hung out or talked since the date. I did try to text him once. Thank you again for the fun opportunity.”
Will did not return 605’s calls.
Mike + Liz
Liz said Mike messaged her and asked if she wanted to get lunch with friends on a Sunday. She obliged after seeing that she could juggle it with her schedule. “We all just enjoyed Vietnamese” she said about going to Pho Quynh. Liz said she is not sure how often they will hang out due to scheduling, but does enjoy his company.
Mike said they have chatted a few times via text, and he asked her to the lunch with friends to try to get to know each other better. He said she is a nice person but feels they are both way too busy right now to give it a real shot. Mike plans on going to a movie with her in the future and start as friends.
