Saskia

Guys who would have one eye on the game the whole date.

Mike in his button-down shirt and skinny jeans, swirling his wine, was anything but.

I just kind of wanted to get through the date.

And I remember afterwards telling my sister, like, he was nice.

He's successful.

Everything on paper sounds good, but I'm not sure if it was there.

And I remember my sister saying, if he's not your usual type, that could be a good thing.

I actually encouraged her to go on a second date with him.

I said, some guys are more second date material.

Maybe him being timid on the first date means he's a regular guy.

You know, not everybody has to be a huge personality off the gate.

Saskia gave him another shot.

And in round two, Mike started to grow on her.

We were going to meet for a second date.

And I think I had something come up with the kids.

So he suggested that we have a phone date and grab a glass of wine and we can talk.

I'm not a phone person and it wasn't something that I thought that I would enjoy.

But I thought it was really cute and endearing.

By their third date, they both were a little more at ease.

They got sushi.
