Valentine’s Day is probably the worst time of year to try out a blind date, and Onward State’s compatibility test officially failed me. I would never even consider talking to Kevin again. I think I'll change my phone number. What a douchebag.
We decided to experiment a bit this Valentine's Day with some Onward State staff dates. We created a compatibility test and used a complex algorithm to match up staff members. The following is the story of Meghin Moore and Shawn Christ's adventure.
I thought of getting her flowers, but completely ran out of time. Decided to google “flower,” and print out the first thing that looked like a rose. Golden.
It began as an idea centered around two people; it morphed into a phenomenon. Based on a compatibility given to several participants within the Onward State staff, Drew Balis and Ally Greer were matched up to go on an Onward State Valentine’s Day date. During an OS Super Bowl party, we decided that the location of said date would take at the ever popular Café 210 West. At this moment, the date was still five days away, and we elected to spice things up in the form of a Double Date, a little Number One Compatibility Magic in the form of Tyler Hoy and Evan Kalikow.
Are you feeling lonely this Valentine's Day? Don't worry, not all hope is lost. No matter how pathetic you may be, there is always someone even more pathetic on Craigslist that wants nothing more this V-Day than to date YOU! Here are just a few examples of people in the Penn State/Altoona area looking to fulfill their sexual desires this Valentine's Day.
Last week we asked for your love letters from former boyfriends and girlfriends. Here they are. Annotations of how each relationship ended are quoted in italics underneath each letter.
