The search turned into a social media frenzy. #DesperatelySeekingDane was not available. Talk about a buzzkill.

It was an instant yes because one of the three bachelors was a major movie star and my lifelong crush.

My coach wants me to take figure skating lessons so I can gracefully pivot around the net. That's a whole lot of hockey hooey if you ask me.

Now, he has guys lining up to date me. This only becomes an issue when his best friend, Redd, gets a hero's welcome when he returns to play hockey for the Nebraska Knights.
