Blind date: ‘There may have been a peck or two’

Ben on Samantha




What were you hoping for?

Someone to have a good laugh with.


First impressions?

Cute, and I liked her nose ring.


What did you talk about?

Favourite music, recent travels, our shared love of The OC and Love Island.


Any awkward moments?

None at all.


Good table manners?

Impeccable.


Best thing about Sam?

Really good chat.


Would you introduce her to your friends?

Don’t see any reason why not.


Describe her in three words

Chatty, funny, creative.


What do you think she made of you?

This guy is a bit old, but somehow likes all the same random stuff.


Did you go on somewhere?

To a bar round the corner for a little dance.


And… did you kiss?

There may have been a peck or two in the second venue.


If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?

I’m not sure I needed the third double vodka and Coke in the second bar.


Marks out of 10?

8.


Would you meet again?

I wouldn’t mind going for another drink at all.

Samantha on Ben




What were you hoping for?

Someone to fancy, or a mate.


First impressions?

Sweet, but a bit nervous.


What did you talk about?

Babies, cheese.


Any awkward moments?
We started talking about politics and realised why you shouldn’t. Complete apathy is a deal-breaker for me.


Good table manners?

He let me try the wine first.


Best thing about Ben?

World champion on Rapstar for 21 Seconds by So Solid Crew.


Would you introduce him to your friends?

I’m not sure he would have loads in common with them.



Describe him in three words

Funny, sweet, smart.


What do you think he made of you?

He was complimentary.


Did you go on somewhere?

Yes, but we didn’t stay long.


And… did you kiss?

A little bit, but only because he asked.


If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?

Maybe no kiss.


Marks out of 10?

7.


Would you meet again?

He kept saying he didn’t think I’d see him again. The more he said it, the less I wanted to.
