Four couples were chosen to come in and talk about some of their most intimate emotions and feelings about their relationships. Following the conversation, participants were provided a date to go on together.

Karli Milner, gay freshman in music studies, and Rylee Spidell, gay sophomore in psychology, have been dating for two and a half years and reflected on their date. 

Rylee’s reflection:

We had a great time at Olde Main, this was our first time there and the food was amazing! It’s pretty reasonably priced and we loved that. The building is very beautiful and old-timey! Our date went really well and we loved having time to ourselves for a little while. We talked about our future together and stopped worrying so much about school, which was nice. We loved having this opportunity and will definitely be going back to Olde Main in the future!

Karli’s reflection:

When I first got the email about Daily Dates I knew Rylee and I would be the perfect couple. We are very down to earth and I feel we are very relatable. The actual interview process was very laid back which made it less awkward for us.

As for the actual date, I honestly think it was one of the best dates we have had in awhile. We usually tend to do the same things we’ve always done like go to the movies or stay in and cuddle but having the chance to go to a place neither of us had been to make the date more enjoyable. I also noticed we had more to talk about on the date because we had participated in the interview.

We reminisced about some memories, laughed about how awkward we used to be with each other, and overall just enjoyed doing something new together. I had a very good experience participating in Daily Dates and am grateful I got the chance to!
