Singles Run Event Pairs Couples for Second Dates in Toyota Aygo X

Noa Schmidt and Itay Meitav, who first met during a speed dating session, embarked on their second date in a Toyota Aygo X as part of the "Singles Run" event. The event, held on September 10th at the Lighthouse complex in Tel Aviv Port, attracted thousands of singles and aimed to move dating from online to real-world interactions. Participants engaged in a race combined with dating zones and activities.

During their second date, Noa and Itay discussed dating conventions. Noa expressed her belief that women should not feel obligated to pay on a first date, though she joked Itay could pay for the rest of their lives. Itay, conversely, felt that the unwritten rule against kissing on a first date should be broken if chemistry is present. Noa playfully noted they were already on a second date.

When asked about a hypothetical free hour in the car, Itay suggested a classic sunset and drink at a viewpoint, while Noa preferred to focus on getting to know her date. They also explored the concept of being "both and" in life. Noa described herself as "half a great guy, half a woman of valor," enjoying football and snacking while also liking to cook. Itay found his "both and" in balancing his work as a software developer with his evening gym routine, appreciating this hybridity.

The date concluded with a test of their music tastes. Itay predicted techno music would be on the playlist, associated with his workouts. Noa anticipated Eastern music, specifically naming Eden Ben Zaken. The date culminated with Itay inviting Noa into the car, and she confirmed she could drive, which he readily agreed to, marking a positive step in their second date.
