Eight singles were paired together to talk about some of their most intimate feelings on sex, affection, communication and exclusivity in relationships. Following the conversation, participants were provided a date to go on together.

Cassandra Brower, bisexual junior in kinesiology and health, and Anna Z., bisexual senior in biology, reflected on their date together. For both girls, this was their first date either had been on with another woman.

Anna Z.’s Reflection

For the Daily Dates video session, I was paired with Cassandra and we got to go to Brick City Grill and a movie. She was very easy to talk to and we had a lot of the same ideas and opinions.

This was the first time I’ve been to Brick City Grill and got a very good hamburger. Next, we went to the North Grand Cinema. We saw “Love, Simon” and this movie was amazing. We definitely cried a lot and were both so happy with the movie.

Overall, I thought she was very nice and easy to talk to. I thought it was cool that we were both pretty liberal and had a lot of the same values. How we met was very “not typical,” so I made sure I had a very open mind.

If she is open to continuing talking, I would be open to it since she was very easy to talk to. 

Cassandra Brower’s Reflection

The date was wonderful. Anna picked me up around 5:45 p.m. on Saturday and we went to Brick City Grill. She was genuinely interested in me and my life. She is incredibly smart. I could listen to her talk all day long. I love how passionate she is about her major.

We ate, we laughed, we shared stories and then we headed to North Grand Cinema to see the movie “Love, Simon.” The movie was perfect for my first date with Anna — I’ve never been on a date with a woman. She was mostly quiet for the entirety of the movie, but there were a few parts here and there I could see her getting emotional out of the corner of my eye. After the movie, she drove me home and we gushed over how much we enjoyed the movie.

She dropped me off and I sent her the photo we took at the movies and she told me she had a great time. I replied back, telling her I also had a great time, to which she said we could grab coffee sometime if I was interested. I didn’t reply back, but I had a wonderful time and I would love to go out with her again.
