But what I want to know is whether the OP mbtmsu is still going out with the stylist, who would now be 30 years old.

Come on, mbtmsu, details, man.

FT has changed since this thread began. Now we can ask for more than details.

Pictures, man, pictures!

The guy hasn't posted on FT in almost two years. I told him not to get involved with girls who wield sharp objects just millimeters away from his skull.

The topic is first date, not cheap date. Why would you go to Leona's?

Haven't been to Leonas in years. Are they still so horrifyingly bad?

I've never found them horrifyingly bad, just not all that good. Better then an Olive Garden, but not better then any number of other places around town.
