I have a thing for photographers.

Way were both a little bit teetering on angry.

I was not hungry.

I wanted a drink.

Hi.

My name is Julian and I am 36 years old.

My name is Ashley and I'm 27th.

I am a photographer and videographer.

I work in post production.

Grew up outside of D.

C in Takoma Park, Maryland.

I grew up in Northern Virginia.

I have been single for about a year and 1/2.

I have been single for 45 days.

I don't go on dates very often.

Once Choice week.

I'm single because I ended my previous relationship.

I put my heart and soul into a relationship that did not work out.

We matched on Hinge, and then she roped me into this.

I like the picture of him with a baby because I like Children.

Definitely rolling in the sand with the dog.

Definitely.

I have a thing for photographers.

I've dated a lot of him.

I don't really have a type.

I would say human.

I prefer older.

I don't really set the age range.

I think I just said it on distance, but not above 40.

I think my access would say that I am captivating that I am a very thoughtful person.

And I care about people and hard to keep hold off.

I love everyone really quickly.

You mean romantically correct?

Five snow.

Probably like six, maybe seven more than I want to admit.

Oh, fuck, yeah.

You don't fuck around with the album.

My last relationship ended because I wasn't ready to start a family.

And she was It wasn't working any longer.

You got to know yourself in order to be a part of a couple We had tried for almost a year and just wasn't working.

She is going to be happier with somebody who could give her what she wants.

That's why I'm here today.

Never cheated.

Not once.

Never fucking will.

Not that I'm aware of in college with the girlfriend that I'm just, like, thrilled.

She cheated on me with That's great.

She was.

My mother always tells me I looked like Nelly Furtado, the UNA bomber.

You know, if I throw some aviators on, it's kind of up there.

That is very difficult.

I don't know any of them.

It's a mix between Hugh Jackman and Kit Harington.

Probably Lady Gaga after seeing her at the McAllen.

If I want to be sexy, you'll know by how I'm looking at you.

It's my fluffer dick.

Pics are never okay.

Never have sent one.

Never fucking will keep your ugly dick to yourself.

Why?

Why?

Why Mountains definitely beach More money.

Time D.

C.

Our date is not going to go.

Well, if she chooses D.

C.

Just kidding, Marvel.

Totally.

Can I say neither?

Neither Text phone call.

Warm, but no mosquitoes Cold.

I definitely like dogs.

Way more.

Really do like cats.

And 1% more than dogs.

Sweet, No brainer.

Salty.

I love tattoos.

I don't have any, but I fucking love them.

I have six Scrambled.

I'm late.

I gotta go.

That's it.

All right.

Wish me luck.

So we met outside of the glamour offices downstairs.

I ran out of the studio as quick as I could because we relate to the date.

We were both a little bit teetering on Hang Gree.

I was not hungry.

I wanted to drink.

It was like Hi, how are you?

Let's eat.

I want to say within five minutes, we were in a cab ride.

Holy shit!

She's way out of my league and beautiful.

Oh, he seems nice.

The cab was a lot of fun.

It was good.

It was maybe a little awkward at first, but conversation was easy.

I asked if I could take her picture because the light was looking good in the cab ride.

He pulls out his camera and says, Can I take your picture?

And I told him I really preferred not to have my picture taken.

I think I got it.

Okay.

One continued happening.

She picked the place.

Gallow Green, the McKittrick Hotel.

I have no idea where we went.

He had really kind eyes, her eyes, which are nice.

Yeah, it's the one that's really funny with curly hair.

He kind of reminded me a Seth Rogan.

Nobody that comes to mind pretty unique.

Look, I would say I was not physically attracted to my date.

Yes, absolutely.

He had a beautiful personality and a really great way of connecting with anybody and everyone in the room.

Authenticity on the surface, I would say, instead of sexy, she just came off is more beautiful.

I didn't really find him sexy, but there were other beautiful things about his personality.

So we get to the restaurant, which is at the top of this hotel.

Take the elevator up and he's very chatty with everyone in the elevator, which is really cool.

First thing we order shots of tequila to chill tequila shots, but they don't have shot classes.

They just have whiskey tumblers.

So it was about two shots of tequila each.

I don't drink that while we discuss food and life picture taking.

She chose the pizza, which just was awesome.

Pizza was so good.

It had, like, a bunch of stuff on it.

I still don't know.

Oh, he ordered a fries as well, very into the fries.

I'm half Belgian, so I always need to try the french fries everywhere.

Fries are neither here or there for me.

Civic duty.

I asked her if she liked whiskey.

She said yes.

On Dhe, he orders some more drinks.

I ordered two old fashions whiskey sours, which was perfect.

So it's just straight liquor now.

After that, we went to sit by the fire and we continue chatting there.

You know, we talked about rials stuff.

Oh, he was full of questions.

I really appreciated that throughout this entire thing.

He is still taking my pictures sometimes.

E think we had one more.

We have 1/3.

I think he orders another whisky sour to share.

We just split the last drink.

So now I'm too.

Tequila ZX two whiskey.

Two and 1/2 Whiskey sours deep.

Yeah.

And then we just took a cab to Brooklyn.

We took a left back, dropped her off, Then I got dropped off.

I think the actual goodbye was getting out of the cab and just leaving.

There was a hug.

I don't think there was a hug.

Just Ah, good friendly hug.

No, there was no kiss at the end of the date.

Oh, absolutely.

No.

If they're not feeling it, neither should you.

For me, the best part of the date was the conversation on the ride home in the cab ride back to Brooklyn.

I think by that time I had eased out of being nervous and felt like I was talking to a really good friend when I I told her that she was authentic, and I found that to be the most attractive part about her.

She covered her face.

Oh, you told you I put my hands on my Yes.

I, uh, do that a lot when I m being complimented.

No, I was not hungover following day.

Yes, I was hung over the next day.

His perspective on life.

He had a way of looking at things in a very creative, joyful way.

She knows herself.

And knowing oneself is a really attractive feature.

I liked all of our conversations.

Now, everything that we talked about was exactly what I'd like to talk about on the first date.

I just wish he hadn't taken my picture so much.

I left a lot.

I definitely think I laughed the most.

She probably smiled war, but I think I might have giggled more.

I definitely think he enjoyed the date the most.

Well, I had a fucking blast, but I enjoyed every moment as well.

I really appreciated his humor and the way he looked at things.

Her personality.

I would not see myself going on a second date with Julian if she liked to.

100%.

Yes, but I wouldn't be opposed to hanging out one day.

It's just friends.

We texted a bit.

He sent me a lot of text messages and all of the photos he took.

I sent the photos that we took.

Well, I didn't really appreciate having my picture taken so often.

The photos came up amazing and want really made me feel beautiful.

A cordial follow up of Hey, had a really nice time.

Thanks for a great night.

He told me a lot of really kind words.

I am so glad I went on this date.

Absolutely.

I'm happy I made a new friend.

However, the conversation 54 way had a four in common.

I guess, too.

Raided your physical attraction.

A 51 where is compatible as she wants us to be.

10 I had a fucking blast.

That's a 54 again.

That is all up to her one.

Julian, if you're watching this, Ashley, when you're watching this, I had a really great night with you.

I want you to know I had a great time.

I appreciate you being very respectful and kind Nice.

I think you're awesome.

And I hope that we can become friends after this.

No matter what happens, you definitely have a friend here.

Let him run with an idea.

Be fucking nice.

He says we should go here, or we should talk to this person.

Let it happen, because it's gonna be a magical Who would have guessed?

Kind of experience.

Be fucking nice.

Thanks so much.

Guys.

Had a blast.

Have a nice day.
