little bit of awkwardness, but it was like a good date.
We're in the same field, so we've known each other forever,
like or not forever, but are professional lives. We've known
each other, okay, okay, we've been talking just like like
friends or co work or co whatever. And then one day,
(01:03):
like there was just like a thing where we I
noticed then I just was like, what's trying to do
with date? And so this was the first one of those.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Okay, well that's kind of an ideal situation.
Speaker 3 (01:15):

a bad date. I thought the date was great.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
What did y'all do?
Speaker 3 (01:23):

in the there's a really great restaurant near my near
at me and then so we walked there at dinner.

a little awkward or off?

with some dirty video content.
