Romantic stories, in today’s day and age, sell like hotcakes. Here we have Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson sharing details of his first date with Ciara.

Russell Wilson’s first date

They met at a live performance set where Ciara was about to perform. Russell admitted that observing her rehearsals was one of his favorite things to do.

“You were performing, you were getting ready rehearsing uh and we went to I went to the rehearsal hall and got to see you and it was one of my favorite things watch,” said Russell Wilson.
“I mean I’ve always loved you I’ve always loved you since the goody days and so on and I’ve always listened to your music and always you know jammed out to it all,” Wilson told Ciara.

After the show was over, Wilson picked her up later in the evening, and they went out. They had to drive around to find a place to eat. They looked around five places because they were trying to find a spot that was a bit private.

Russell Wilson and his romantic side

They found the Georgian Hotel to be the perfect spot. Before walking into the Hotel Russell made sure that the lighting and everything was just perfect. They later had the lights dimmed a bit so as to ensure a private and subtle ambiance.

“You dimmed the light so we could like really have a private moment but also knowing you because you’re so romantic you just were kind of making everything right which was really sweet and it was cute,” recalled Ciara.

They had nothing fancy. Russell had a massive cheeseburger and a pitcher of water, which appeared crazy to Ciara because she was on her gallon kick at that moment.

Wilson and Ciara were just trying to make the most of their time by doing small things that might have been funny but were really special.
