#first-date

Then we segue into meeting Waverly (Emily Eisele), a young advertising exec, nervously bouncing around her Minneapolis apartment. Her shy, diffident date, Andrew (Ben Tissell) arrives, holding a book and a bottle of wine. In the scene's background, ongoing newscasts play unceasingly. Distracted, Waverly is phoning her mother and not receiving a response-both are frightened for family living in Manhattan.

What were you hoping for? To have a new experience my first blind date! And I wouldn't have minded meeting the love of my life. First impressions? Very cool jacket. She seemed chatty, which was great because I am also. What did you talk about? Career changes. Living in other countries. Language learning. Reading. Travelling. The fact that Good table manners? is a silly question. Most awkward moment? When I accidentally poured wine on to the table rather than into a glass.
