I flew across the country with a blind date, and we spent a week together. We're not a match, but I had the time of my life.
Briefly

Although we had planned for a romantic connection, the reality was different. We had a great time together but as friends instead. Our friends ensured the pressure of romance was lifted, allowing us to be ourselves and enjoy Alaska. From exploring the old mining communities to picking wild raspberries, the experience became more about friendship, laughter, and adventure rather than romantic expectations.
Meeting a blind date at an airport, flying thousands of miles together, was a leap of faith I didn't expect to take. This made for one compelling story, regardless of the outcome. Though the connection wasn't romantic, the adventure we shared with friends became a highlight, proving that sometimes, stepping outside of comfort zones leads to delightful surprises.
