In the end, Gavin really liked Rebecca's intense and charismatic personality and asked her on another date, which she happily agreed to. "Gavin, buckle up, it's going to be one hell of a second date," she said.
Amir (32, PR) and Chris (30, wellness coach) took in the sights high above downtown Los Angeles before getting to know each other. While chatting, the convo turned into sexy talk and they started asking each other about past sexual experiences and their "freak levels" before agreeing to hang out again (potentially with a sex swing!). "I had a really good time with Amir, the date went great so you never know what could happen," Chris said.
Myshala'e (28, entrepreneur) and Shawn (24, corporate sales) really hit it off from the beginning of their boxing date. Their chemistry only got hotter later over a romantic dinner, but the fancy cocktails totally put lightweight Shawn in a weird headspace and threw off his mojo. Their initially electric date ended awkwardly and Shawn didn't even ask Myshala'e for her phone number, despite saying he wants to see her again. Never get drunk on the first date, guys!
Rob (24, journalist ) and Jordan (28, singer) proved opposites don't always attract. They didn't really connect while ax-throwing and things got even weirder when Rob opted for a packed lunch of pre-made sandwiches and pudding cups over a nice restaurant. After some awkward conversation, they agreed to possibly hang out again in a group setting.
Megan (33, personal assistant) and Zach (32 (non-profit director) avoided rough waters on their kayaking date, but Zach still wasn't convinced that Megan is his type.

"I really liked who she was and I had a lot of fun chatting with her and getting to know her." "I would love to have a second date, I thought Zach was great," Megan agreed. Another happy couple in the making!

"There's no way I'm letting that get away."
Rahul (27, personal trainer) and Charlotte (24, nanny) got kinky by going to a prison-themed bar complete with handcuffs and jail cells. however, Rahul was a little too boring for thrill-seeking Charlotte. "Rahul was nice, but he's not really my type as far as dating people go. I like people a little more dangerous," she admitted while Rahul said, "That date really freaked me out."
During their skating rink date, Kevin (25, advertising director) wasn't convinced that Hayden (23, bartender) was his type, even thought Hayden was super into Kevin. But later over lunch, Hayden proved his commitment by breaking 20 years of vegetarianism to try fried calamari. In the end, Hayden's seafood stunt worked and they agreed to go to a bar together. "I like this guy and I hope that it ends up with him kissing me considering I ate calamari for him," Hayden said.
Ngozika (30, fashion designer) wanted a Jason Mamoa type and boy did she score with Mike (34, fine art sales manager)! After getting a little tipsy on wine (and bonding over shared interests like EDM music in the process, this adorable duo seemed perfect for each other.

Edgy, beer-loving Melissa (26, bartender/student) wants a man's man after her nasty divorce, but would pretty boy Lorenzo (25, physique model) be able to keep up with her gruff energy? By the end of the date (which started with them smashing up her marriage certificate in a rage room!), it was Lorenzo who took control of the dynamic by calling Melissa out on her bitterness. He agreed to hang out again but only if she dropped the bad girl facade (we have a feeling she didn't like being called out on her bulls--t!).
Zack (24, golf instructor) took Natalia (22, entrepreneur) to the putting green to teach her some pointers and it wasn't long until they were chugging champagne on the gold course. Their drinking continued later over dinner but self-proclaimed lightweight Natalia may have gotten a little too tipsy and needed to excuse herself to go to the bathroom. Hey, at least she didn't get sick at the dinner table, right?
Lars (29, stuntman) and Erica (22, marketing specialist) had a great time getting to know each other over drinks and agreed to hang out a second time. "The date went actually very well. At first when I met him, I thought he was going to be complete pompous a--hole," she said. "He's not as bad as the rest of the guys I've dated." We guess that's a good way to look at it?
Eric (35, psychic) took Denny (36, musician) to a magic shop to give him a taste of his other-wordly instincts, but in the end it was a little too strange for Denny. "That was a really weird date," Denny admitted. "I need some heat. I need a little more passion. I need less all-knowing."
Sydney (27, events/fit model) was looking for a man that's tall dark and handsome and boy did she get that and more in Australian hunk Xavier (30, TV host/journalist).

Fingers crossed because I think today went really well," Sydney said. Spoiler alert: the lovebirds ended up going on a second and third date! Romance isn't dead after all.
