Shooting Your Shot
I do have a personality that exists outside the stuff that I put out online.
Delaney Rowe thinks calling herself bicoastal is cringe, even if thats exactly the lifestyle shes currently living.
Shes always dreamed of being an actor but was working as a private chef in LA before posting online.
I get roasted and negged a lot by men because thats what they think I want.
That is, as long as they stick to getting drinks on the first date.
How does going out in Los Angeles and New York differ from one another?
It’s like a fun, hellish maze.
In LA, I’m a little cozier.
I drink less, I sleep more.
I see fewer people.
This city is sort of like a moment of solitude and wellness for me.
Whats your go-to drink on a first date?
Then I’m like, Actually, yeah, now I want that too.
You’re being fun.
I want to be fun!
Is there a drink order on a date that would be an immediate turn-off?
Where’s your agency?
You’re a 32-year-old man.
Why don’t you have a drink that you like yet?
Theres something weird about that.
Choose the glass you’re going to have, hey.
Whats your advice for someone who wants to show up as their best self on a date?
I like to have a drink before a date to loosen things up.
Has drinking on a first date ever led to any memorable stories?
I was at SUGARFISH and had maybe three beers and I was wearing a white skirt.
But I got up and I had my period and bled through my skirt.
It didnt embarrass me much because I didn’t like this person that much anyway.
But then later, he was like, “Look, I get it.
You’re really embarrassed about what happened.
I don’t care that I had my period on a date.
You just sucked.”
He wishes that I were embarrassed!
