This week, we try a little love experiment: A previous iDate interviews a new iDate! Here’s what happens when we unleash Hottie McHot Hot Keith Fritz on the brave and beautiful Danelle Young:
Keith Fritz: Danelle Young, you are so smoking hawt that I can barely contain myself. You are like an onion. You are so fine, you make me want to cry. The first question is, how do you feel about bearded Yankees in their early 20s?
Danelle Young: I think that this early 20s Yankees dresses pretty darn sassy and sharp. Are you one of those Metro-Sexual Yanks?
KF: Guilty as charged. What’s on your man candy checklist?
DY: He has to be respectful, confident and have a sense of humor.
KF: Well, that seems like a good list. What is your idea of a great first date?
DY: Walking around downtown, going into the unique shops and browsing and going to the art galleries. Stopping for coffee or a glass of wine would be ideal. It’s casual, laid back and gives you a chance to talk and continue to get to know someone.
KF: I like your moves. I agree totally! You are a pretty sassy girl with the sassy bangs to back it up. What is the story there?DY: I was just trying to soften my look…mixing it up! It’s funny because the day of my appointment I had been teetering on the whole bangs issue and decided to just go for it. And then there was a news flash about Katie Holmes-Cruise getting bangs…I’m so trendy!
KF: Sweet. Now you need to convert to Scientology and find an overly intense celebrity actor to marry. Besides your bangin’ bangs, what is your favorite thing about yourself?
DY: My sense of humor. I love to laugh and see others laugh. It has always been a good way for me to break the ice or approach a person that interests me. Laughter is a cure for all that might ail me.
KF: Alright, right funny pants, I know you’re a member of the Paducah Improv Class. What makes a good improv partner? Is it similar to what you need in a good relationship?
DY: Excellent question. Listening and supporting are key in improv as well as in a relationship. A good partner will listen to what you are saying, how you are saying it and support you by continuing with their contribution. Also, one aspect about doing improv that you can apply to dating is that you don’t have to rush it. You wait until you feel it and then go with it.
KF: Wait until you feel it, then make out! Anyway, so let’s get some boring stuff out of the way. How do you pay the bills/bar tabs?
DY: I work for Paducah Rigging in the accounting department. Yes, it can be boring/repetitive at times, but it’s a great place to work, and I have an awesome boss and a corner office with an actual window! No micro-management, hour lunches, freedom, fun people and they love me there! And I get to wear jeans!
KF: Dang! I’m jealous. I look at cinderblocks at work. I have no transition for this, but if you were a kitchen appliance, what appliance would you be?DY: A shiny red mixer, for a few reasons. I like to mix my foods when I am eating. I like to take a bit of each food on the fork and then eat it. Secondly, I like to mix things up. I am not a routine kind of girl for the most part. I consider myself to have eclectic interests. I like to try things at least once.
Really, I could name a lot of reasons, but then that would leave nothing for the imagination, so I’ll stop. Wow! That is a great question, Keith.
KF: I know. I am awesome at this interviewing thing. So, we are keeping a little mystery huh? I like it. What is your guilty pleasure?
DY: The Margherita California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizza. Yummy! Yes, I eat the whole thing by myself — don’t even think about me sharing. But I only indulge in those from time to time.
KF: Men, pay attention! If you bring Danelle her favorite pizza, bring your own food. I suggest Hot Pockets. Which celebrity do people say you look like?
DY: I get Sheryl Crow from time to time. I just got it again recently.
KF: So all you wanna do is have some fun? I got a feeling you’re not the only one! Speaking of fun, what about Paducah prompted you to move back from Colorado?
DY: Without going into my whole life story, I actually moved away to a few different states. I learned so much that it wouldn’t fit in this interview. I dislike clichés, but one can come home again. I came back quite skeptical, comparing it to all the great places that I have lived and experienced, but it does offer a lot in its own way that you can’t get in a bigger city.
KF: What did you want to be when you were a little girl? By the way, princess is not a legit profession.DY: An actress or a racecar driver.
KF: Well at least you get to flex your acting muscles at improv class. If you could date one of the actors in the Ocean’s 11, 12 or 13, which would you pick?
DY: Brad might be the most obvious choice, and while that would be lovely, I’d pick Clooney. Less baggage.
KF: Why do they call where you park your car a driveway, and why do you drive on a parkway?
DY: Can I plead blonde on this one?
KF: With those killer bangs, you can plead whatever you want! Danelle, you are hot like a teapot. Thanks for letting me ask some deep, probing questions. I am sure your bangs and awesome personality will drag in the men in like moths to the flame.
