Steve and Dana


So I just googled Steve's name and found his facebook and was surprised to see his relationship status as "in a relationship with Dana Kinsey." So it appears they actually are together, but then I also noticed that it says Steve currently lives in Pittsburgh and she still live in LA. Thought he was supposed to be moving out to LA too .

Hers doesn't say that she's in a relationship with him.

You can set your relationship status to private though.

Though I don't think Steve has really moved out west yet (the truck on the show was a prop, I think), I believe the two are still together.

As a hopeless romantic myself, I see there's a bit of a catch-22 they have to overcome. Steve fronts a band called Punchline which has been around for 15 years, but is now getting its widest exposure thanks to an album based on Steve's relationship with Dana and their finally getting to meet on MOBBED. The band could finally be hitting the big time, and I don't see how Steve could leave that right now.

Dana has her own life in LA, and though she and Steve share a special bond which we all should be so lucky to have, who could expect her to up and leave everything for PA? And she certainly wouldn't want Steve to miss out on his greatest success (not to mention a sustainable livelihood) by dropping everything for her.

What irony, huh? They finally meet, and that inspires success that may get in the way of their being together.

I'm rooting for them, I really, really am, but unless Punchline moves to LA too, Steve or Dana will have to do something really unexpected if this is going to work. But hey, they went 5 years without meeting, so I think they can weather some challenges.

On the show Dana said she works in a bar. I find it doubtful that she can't get a job in another bar in PA. If their relationship was truly that serious, I see no reason why she couldn't move there. Steve's career has a lot more responsibilities than simply working in a bar. However, even then he could still move to LA. If his band just released a new album, then they wouldn't be working on a new one, they would probably be touring, right? Well if he was touring he wouldn't be living in PA anyway.

I just watched the Steve and Dana episode tonight. Does anyone else find it really strange that Dana did not even mention Steve when she was interviewed about dating at the beginning of the episode? I had trouble believing any of Dana's feelings for the rest of the episode because she could not even mention him during that interview. That seems really weird to me.

I did find it strange, but their relationship is not so ordinary and I think I probably wouldn't talk about it to complete strangers either. They've never met each other and only communicate online/text/telephone. Many people would find that weird.

Well, she thought she was auditioning for some Speed Dating reality show, probably more for the exposure than for actually hooking up with someone. She likely didn't want to let on that she currently had a sorta-boyfriend miles and miles away, or she might lose the part. (I thought it was interesting that the guy ok'd the Speed Dating idea to begin with.)

Additionally, her relationship was presumably so secretive that not even her closest friends knew about it. So why divulge to some stranger?

reply

Really? It was stated that their relationship was really secret?

That's just an assumption, considering it seems none of her friends were involved in the episode setup.

"Weird" was the way they thought of their relationship. I'd presume both dated other people during the span of 5 years, but they remained each other's sounding board through highs and lows. Is it possible one (the guy) felt more strongly about the relationship than the other? Sure. But sometimes it takes one person to make a move for the other to take notice of the possibilities.

Good on the guy, I say.

Well they are no longer dating. She may be bisexual herself...
