Meet…Gianna.
Gianna is a pint-size bubbly Broadway actress, currently in the cast of "Mean Girls." But there's nothing mean about her, just maybe a little anger and bitterness when it comes to dating in New York City. "I think dating in New York is the worst thing ever." Gianna is tired of dating in her small bubble of unicorns -straight theater men, so she's willing to try something new. And by new, we mean 3 die-hard "7 Line Army" fans. "I've never heard of this thing," Gianna says of the Mets fan group. Brace yourself, Gianna.
Leading off is Nick, a CPA, who wears his pride in his career on his sleeve, or actually, back of jersey with the letters CPA written. Points for…originality? Early on in the date, he shows Gianna his (not insignificant) Mets tattoo. That may have sent Gianna running to join the 7 line train, not the 7 Line Army, and get the heck out of this date….
Stephen is next, but before he meets Gianna, he tests his Mets trivia on the field in front of the whole stadium. Lucky for Stephen, Gianna doesn't care that he didn't win. She's more impressed by his Wharton diploma and his West Village living. "Oh my god, oh my god" she confessed, "the life I want is literally living in the West Village." Gianna's manager, Gabe, is reading the signs that she's practically ready to move in with Stephen, but he wonders like we all do: what does Stephen actually think of her?
Finally we have Charlie, who really does love baseball so much he works at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Charlie is too focused on his fanhood and his Mets tattoo that he almost fails to get to know Gianna. Even when he asks about her Broadway career, he basically used it as an excuse to showcase his singing voice. If there was a Prospects Hall of Fame, this date definitely wouldn't make the cut.
In the end, it was quite obvious who Gianna hit it off with. With her low expectations on the day, she surprised herself by walking away liking a Mets fanatic like Stephen. See? Broadway and baseball do mix. Who knew?
