The Collegian’s Love is Blind series set up two students on a blind date to see if sparks would fly between them. This week Victoria Braley, sophomore animal science major, and Gabriel Inyan Pulliam-Sanchez, freshman pre-law major took a chance at love.

Pulliam-Sanchez’s hobbies consist of cooking, snowboarding, skateboarding, playing video games and guitar. Braley enjoys art, science, animals, reading, writing and bowling.

Pulliam-Sanchez and Braley were interviewed and asked questions prior to the date then again afterward — and each gave interesting answers.

The two went to Craft Italian American Fusion, Pulliam-Sanchez ordered Black and White Alfredo while Braley had Blackened Chicken Caprese while getting to know each other that night. Both of them thought the food was great.

Pulliam-Sanchez said he would like to go on another date and Braley agrees.

“I enjoy meeting new people and would like to get to know her more.” Pulliam-Sanchez said.

“We both hit it off. We were able to find areas of interest where we both had overlapping interest.” Braley said.
