Daniel couldn't help but be both amused and charmed by the directness of the woman before him. Her boldness was well received and he tried not to let it go completely to his head. That was easier said than done though when a woman as attractive as Alex complimented him without filter. Most women he had encountered in the past hadn’t spoken so straight forward. While he hadn’t minded their more subtle approaches, Alex’s direct one was both refreshing and had him hoping that he was on the right track to wining her over for the night. 

As she went on to answer his question, he raised an eyebrow as she gave a reply that he hadn’t seen coming in the slightest. The choice of Jim Carrey was a far out one and at first he didn’t know what to say in response. [i]I guess her flaws revolve around her being strange..[/i] He thought as he listened to her defend her ridiculous answer. Strange wasn’t bad though. At least not yet anyways. He smirked and shrugged his shoulders. “I guess so… It’s just going to be a weird situation when he’s paired up against Zac Efron.” he said with mock casualness as he opted to banter in response.  Naturally, he had to chose Zac Efron. Daniel may not have been attracted to men but he knew an attractive face when he saw one. Of course, that made him Daniel’s go to for such questions like who he’d want to play him in a movie. 

He flashed her playful wink before taking a final sip of his drink. Setting the empty glass down, he decided to wait before ordering another drink. While he had a decent tolerance to alcohol, it still wasn’t as much as most men his size. Thanks to his Chinese heritage, he was prone to what many might call an Asian glow. Really it was just an allergic reaction that caused him to be sensitive to certain compounds in alcohol that unfortunately vexed many that shared his ethnicity. Daniel was actually lucky to have a weaker case of it, much unlike his less fortunate sister who could be borderline drunk after finishing just one mild drink. 

His dark gaze shifted back onto Alex as she leaned in closer to him. Daniel studied her for a moment as she posed a new question. “Well that one’s easy.” he chuckled. “I’d much rather never watch another movie. I mean, I still have tv shows, right?” They were much more his pace anyways. He enjoyed the longer stories versus the two hour ones. “Well, regardless, I think I’d like to avoid getting stuck in a Hallmark movie. Too much drama and much too slow pace.” He met her gaze with a coquettish smirk. Since she seemed to still be interested, he decided to flirt a little more obviously. “I like getting straight to the point. Especially when I know what I want.” 

His dark gaze lingered on her olive green eyes for a moment longer before pulling away to eye the bar, silently debating ordering another drink. “Hallmark movies aside, what are your interests?” Daniel asked, deciding to be more direct now that his other question hadn’t revealed much of anything. “And if you answer Jim Carrey again, I will head for the door.” he added on a teasing note.
