For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There's a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.

I felt the need to give away some of my Hive this week and developed a topic around dates and dating. Thanks to those who took part, I appreciate the effort you put into it. You can take a look at the post here if you want to see what it was all about. _{original im src}

It's always difficult to narrow town contest entries to just three winners but I have done so with those below being rewarded. Congratulations to you and to all who took part. This post announces them and for those place-getters their Hive has already been transferred.

As usual, on Friday, (later today), I'll release the #weekend-engagement posting topic prompts - another chance to showcase your creativity and yourself to the community and, if you're so inclined, to get engaged with a few people you might not normally meet. It will be pinned in THE WEEKEND community and on my personal feed as well. Please, as always, pay attention to the contest guidelines for prize eligibility; I write them for a reason.
