Vanessa told us about her date with Will on our Second Date Update this morning. She told us that the date went great and they went to a beach restaurant to watch the sunset. She told him that she really wanted to see him again at the end of the date, but she hasn’t heard anything since then.
We called Will to find out why he isn’t calling her back for a second date and he realized on the date that he didn’t bring the right pair of shoes to the date. Listen to what happened below.
