Jonah and Sunny embarked on a blind date, exceeding their expectations. Jonah hoped for fun company, instantly feeling relaxed with Sunny's friendly demeanor. Their conversation flowed easily, covering Sunny's travels, her writing on techno chatrooms (a shared interest), and a humorous attempt to guess each other's birth order. An awkward moment arose when Jonah revealed his karaoke song choice, prompting Sunny's playful inquiry about the tune. Both displayed impeccable table manners, admitting their unfamiliarity with formal etiquette. Jonah appreciated Sunny's openness, feeling comfortable discussing various topics. He would introduce her to his friends, who he claimed were tired of him. He described Sunny as warm, curious, and funny, while suspecting she perceived him as nervous and nerdy. Their date extended to a pub they both frequented for previous dates, culminating in a kiss. Jonah's only regret was not ordering more desserts. He rated the date a 9/10 and expressed interest in a future meeting, possibly platonic. Sunny's perspective was equally positive. She sought 'pure magic' and found Jonah sweet, matching her initial bewilderment. Their conversation ranged from family and work to death-row meals and Ira Glass's voice, even touching upon Jonah's biking mishaps. An accidental beer spill proved less humorous for Jonah than for Sunny. Despite Jonah's feigned good table manners, Sunny appreciated his easygoing nature and would introduce him to her friends. She described him as intelligent, respectful, and genuine, believing they saw the good in each other. Their date concluded with another drink and a kiss, with Sunny expressing no regrets. She'd rate the date a 7/10 and would seek Jonah's advice on competitive off-road bike racing. The date took place at Casa do Frango in London.
