It's time for Morgan to live in the moment. Let her guard down and laugh out loud with three blind dates. Will one of these bachelors be blog worthy? Let's meet Adam. My name is Adam. I'm 29 and I'm *** B coordinator at an architecture firm. I like it here. There's *** lot to do downtown and if you look really hard, you can find really fun stuff to do. It would be great to meet my partner in crime. Someone who just enjoys doing all the random things that you don't typically do on *** regular day. Somebody who's open for *** little adventure. I chose red door fencing for *** date because I thought it would be *** fun, unique way to spend an afternoon. And if someone's able to come into something so niche like this and have *** good time with it, then I feel like they'd make *** really good fit for me. So I'm Kevin, I'm Sarah and we're at red door fencing. We're both coaches and co-owner and we've been here for about 10 years. We teach fencing to ages basically eight through 80. Plus, if you meet somebody the first time and you can stab them and still want to see them again. I think that's maybe *** good sign for your relationship. Hi. How's it going? I'm Morgan. Morgan. Adam. It's nice to meet you. The door says red door fencing and I did not know that that existed. So that was *** good shock and nothing I could have prepared for. So, are you like an instructor? Are you experienced in this experience? is *** really bold word. I went for like *** year or two back in college. I just was hoping he wasn't an expert who was gonna shut me up. But as soon as I saw his smile, I was like, ok, he's gonna be friendly. It's gonna be fun. Hi. Welcome to Red Door fencing. I'm Sarah. This is my husband Kevin. You guys are here on your first date. Yeah. Well, welcome. Are you guys ready to learn some fencing? Then? I'd say we are. Well, let's get started. All right. So we have on guard and then from here you're going to advance. So you're gonna take *** step with your front foot and then your back foot and you should end up right where you started. Ok, let's do it again. Vance. How did you get into this? I saw *** poster on the wall. Amazing. I'm not even kidding. I saw *** picture. Oh, cool. Let's go play with swords. And then I, that's how all good adventures start. Right. Morgan is *** very beautiful girl who I just want to get to know *** little bit more. He's just gonna take *** few steps forward and back and you're gonna try and keep distance with him. Ok? You have to actually look at him to do that was handy. Yeah, we usually say watch their front shoulder, but if you want to stare deeply into each other's eyes, that's acceptable. Do we look cool? I don't think so. I think we look cool. I don't know it. You can move forward, you can move backwards, you can follow the other person, you can attack them, you can run away. That's the basic parts there. So we're gonna get you all suited up. Oh God. F ok. You better whether I think I'm going to be competitive or not, most likely I will end up being competitive *** short time to go next one. Oh, yeah, nice. Is that good? I need to make sure that I'm *** little bit impressive here and not just *** giant marshmallow p that right there is *** lot of competition happening and it's always fun to see that cups. That's right. 44. So it scores 44. And since we fenced to five, there's *** term for this, it's called label. And so you usually use salute again just as *** sign of like, hey, this is *** really close match and next touch wins on guard ready fence. I enjoyed kind of surprising him. I think with our offensive, I was going at times and I was really excited to see us kind of going point for point coming up. Will Morgan's date with Adam get to the point or will she stay on guard? Fencing is definitely *** new one for *** first date. Things are all tied up between Adam and Morgan at red door fencing in Des Moines who will win this dating duel P 54. Fencing is definitely *** new one for *** first date. I think she enjoyed it just as much as I did. Thank you so much for coming with me on this. Now that we're like rehydrated. What made you want to come on *** local adventure? It doesn't take like anything for me to like want to go and it's like, yeah, just say yes to everything. You have *** lot more fun with life. That's how I am too. Very much like *** yes person. So, where has that landed? You in the past? I've been having adventures for sure. I've moved seven states and you still come back to Iowa. Yeah, I'm still here. I've enjoyed being back into mine. Really? Yeah. What about you? I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. So still Canadian. The fact that he was Canadian is definitely *** plus I can count on when he has so many Canadians I've ever met. I moved to Atlanta, Georgia for 10 years and then moved here. And I never left Morgan is enjoyable to talk to. I feel like there's something really special here. This was *** lot of fun. We'll have to do this again. It was *** joy to talk to him. And, yeah, I'm *** big fan of Canada.
