{ Date #1 - TIFFANY MIGDAT }

About 3 months ago I thought my only involvement with The Mormon Bachelor was Casting Director for Kent Tuttle, my best friend.  When Erin called me and told me Kent had fallen for Carlie while in California filming for show at first I was really frustrated.  I had spent hours and hours on Skype interviews with the girls that had applied to go on dates with Kent and it seemed to be all for nothing.  Little did I know that the stars would align for me to take over as this season’s Mormon Bachelor in only a few short weeks.  When I first expressed interest in stepping into the role I worried that all the girls and TMB fans would be disappointed that it was me and not Kent dating the amazing women I had chosen for him.  At the same time, I was excited about the opportunity to get to know the girls and date them because I already knew that they had amazing qualities and were the kind of girls you bring home to mom.  After prayerfully considering the decision, I decided to step forward and assume the title of Mormon Bachelor – I’m ready to get married after all and I have never been one to turn down a great opportunity.

Erin explained to me shortly after accepting the call to be the next Mormon Bachelor that she had given each girl the opportunity to continue on with the show, or not participate if they had their heart set on Kent.  From what I understand about 6 dropped out and 6 continued on to come out to Los Angeles and date me.  So I had no idea what to expect when I opened the door the first night to Tiffany Migdat.  Needless to say I was thrilled.  Tiffany and I had a great first Skype call and I had thought about her several times after that first interaction.  I was hoping she wasn’t one of the 6 dropouts because I really wanted to get to know her and felt like there could be chemistry at the end of the road.

The date with Tiffany was amazing because it was a simple idea but was a TON of fun.  Simplicity goes a long, long way.  I could tell Tiffany was a little nervous to have the cameras on the date so I tried to make her more comfortable by cracking jokes and putting my arm around her to let her know I was glad she was there.  Tiffany is a stunning woman, with an equally bright personality.  Although she was a little nervous, I still had a great time with her and I was glad we were finally on a date together after meeting through Skype several weeks before.  We were able to get to know each other pretty well on the date and she definitely has a mystery about her that I’m looking forward to discovering in time.  Tiffany has a quiet confidence and swagger that is so intriguing and attractive to me.  I felt like I was around a good friend and it was natural to be myself around her.

I can’t wait to see where this goes with Tiffany.  If it’s just toward friendship that will be amazing but I hope it ends up being more.  We especially connected when we danced at the concert and had fun laughing at each other’s awkward dance moves or lack thereof.  When we walked around the park I felt like I was walking and talking with someone that I could fall for.  Sometimes the best romances and love stories start out as friendships and maybe it’s the same way with Tiffany and I.  I would love to have her back on another date and hopefully the nerves will be gone and we can see where everything will go from here.  I know I’m just starting this journey but I hope she will say yes and see what lies ahead on a 2^nd date.
