“I dread these things, because they’re awkward,” the 48-year-old explained.
She said her date offered to pick her up and take her out to a “long dinner.”

“I lke the dinner,” Austin admitted.
“Then you know if it doesn’t work. You get to talk. You’re gonna have a good time. I’ve got a good feeling about it,” the 32-year-old told Drew with a smoldering gaze.

GIVE US BARRY-MORE
On a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress found herself getting emotional.
She was reminiscing about her 90s film Bad Girls at the time while welcoming friends to the show.
Bad Girls stars Andie MacDowell, Dermot Mulroney, and Mary Stuart Masterson joined Drew on her talk show today.
During Drew’s, 48, one-on-one moment with Andie, 65, she brought up that 2024 marked the film’s 30th anniversary.
As the Charlie’s Angels actress was recalling how much she enjoyed being in the film, Andie interrupted her to give her a Bad Girls anniversary-related surprise.
The St.Elmo’s Fire notable had morning show production team members adjust the stage to resemble elements of the 1994 Western film.
Placed on the stage were two large identical group promo photos of Bad Girls’ leading ladies: Drew, Andie, Dermot, and Madeleine Stowe.
Taking it up a notch, Andie also invited their co-star Mary, 57, on the show, unbeknownst to Drew.
Drew covered her mouth in shock when she locked eyes with Mary.
Shortly after seeing her, she ran off-stage to hug her.
Tears started flowing between the celebrity women as soon as Mary sat on Drew’s couch beside her and Andie.
Dermot, 60, also stopped by the Drew Barrymore Show to surprise Drew.
Drew greeted Dermot with a big hug, and more tears – Dermot was emotional as well.
TURNING ON THE WATERWORKS
The TV host often cries on the show, especially when she reconnects with someone from her past.
In October, Drew walked from her on-stage couch to stand in front of the in-studio audience.
Producers had a crowd member stand up and share a story about how she and Drew were acquainted.
“I was your flight attendant four years ago, and here I am crying on your show now,” the woman told her.
She reminded Drew with tears in her eyes: “We sat in my galley, and you cried and cried because you were going through so much.”
Drew asked her acquaintance if she knew what she was going through at the time.
The flight attendant said that she did, adding that when they were on the plane together, Drew was “just bawling, and she was holding her.”
Following her statement, the Hollywood A-lister went to where she was sitting in the audience to hug her.
After Drew embraced the woman, she sat beside her to have a heart-to-heart, opening up to the entire room about her battle with alcoholism.
The interaction between Drew and the flight attendant was shared on the official Instagram account for the CBS program.
“Drew reunites with a flight attendant who comforted her after she quit drinking,” the post captioned.
