Big Date Winner Thanks to everyone for their beautiful, touching and sometimes extremely creepy "My Perfect Date" essays. Although the contest was judged on many criteria, the deciding factor turned out to be pathos. Of all the people who wrote in and said they hadn't been on an honest-to-God date in years, Veronica Esparza was the real tearjerker. She wrote, "I have been married eight years, have three children, and we have never been on a real date." Hold the Oprah, Ms. Esparza, Metro is here to rescue you! Veronica and her patient husband will be receiving a spa weekend in beautiful Santa Rosa, California. Congratulations! [ Silicon Valley | Metroactive Home | Archives ]
