Jared’s POV: I like to go swing dancing near my house in La Crosse on Friday evenings. My roommates sister had a girl she wanted to set me up with and was going to bring her to swing dancing to meet me. I was uninterested with having a blind date and was not going to go that night until a couple from my church called and said they were going. Last second, my roommate and I decided to go. I am sure glad I did! Amanda was my dance partner most of the night and we talked about our faith, favorite books, love for fitness, and more. We got to know each other as we shared our first dance. I found her desire to grow and her intelligence very attractive. In fact, I was a bit intimidated by it. I wanted to get to know her more and after the dance thought of her most of the evening. I knew I had to find a way to go on a true first date with her.


Amanda’s POV: My good friend Eve had previously told me about Jared and asked if she could said me up with him, I said “sure”. I went swing dancing with Eve and had no idea that I was going to meet Jared that night, I thought I was going to meet him the next day. At first I was confused if this was the guy that Eve was telling me about because I couldn’t remember his name. It was my first time swing dancing. Jared and I ended up dancing most of the night and getting to know each other. We talked about Jesus, fitness, our family’s, and other interested. My initial thoughts were “he seems very kind, but I wonder if that is genuine or an act”, I was both skeptical and intrigued. I was also impressed and attracted by his dance moves! By the end of the night I was hoping to spend more time with him and get to know him more!
