Gia Pride, senior
Q: How long have you and your partner been dating?
A: Since November.
Q: What type of dates do you go on?
A: We usually like to go out of the house, especially going outside. We’ll always get some food. My favorite dates we’ve had [have] been taking a walk in the park, enjoying the weather and listening to each other’s music and talking for hours.
Q: How long does it take you to get ready for each date?
A: Probably around two hours.
Q: What do you do to get ready?
A: I take a shower, and then [my] hair is a whole process because I have [curly hair]. I do finger coiling and after that, it takes me around 30 minutes to pick out a cute outfit. And then [I’ll] talk to my mom and get her advice, and FaceTime my friends. I’m always still nervous, even though we’ve been dating for months, so it’s still a fun process. Then, I do my makeup, and I like to take time and make myself some tea and listen to music. I [like] having that time to use in any way I want.
