Someone to go along with my hare-brained schemes, and open all the links I send. Beautiful, intriguing and confident. Her appearance on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Her dad performing his own arm surgery. Guys who don’t ask questions on dates. The selfies we took were deliberately bad, for a joke that never came to fruition .
.. Elbows on the table.
She quickly made me feel at ease and comfortable. I think they’d have more in common than not. Funny, charming, girl boss.
She kept her cards close to her chest. So, I’ll assume she hates me. Nope.
I would never kiss on a first date. My passion for rollerblading didn’t go down too well. 10.
She said she’d “think about it”. Blind date is Saturday’s dating column: every week, two strangers are paired up for dinner and drinks, and then spill the beans to us, answering a set of questions. This runs, with a photograph we take of each dater before the date, in Saturday magazine (in the UK) and online at every Saturday.
It’s been running since 2009 – you can . We ask about age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests and the type of person you are looking to meet. If you do not think these questions cover everything you would like to know, tell us what’s on your mind.
No, it’s a blind date! But we do ask you a bit about your interests, preferences, etc – the more you tell us, the better the match is likely to be. No, but don't worry: we'll choose the nicest ones. Your first name, job and age.
Honestly but respectfully. Be mindful of how it will read to your date, and that Blind date reaches a large audience, in print and online. No.
We may edit yours and theirs for a range of reasons, including length, and we may ask you for more details. We’ll try! Marriage! Babies! Only if it’s in the UK. Many of our applicants live in London, but we would love to hear from people living elsewhere.
Email An evening of fun chat in an air-conditioned room during a heatwave. He seemed shy and a little nervous. I felt bad because I was slightly late.
Psychiatry. Conspiracy theories. His love of rollerblading (a big bombshell).
Football (he’s Man United and I’m Arsenal, which was a huge issue). I ducked under the table to put my shoe back on and he thought I’d left. Yes, except he didn’t know what orange wine was.
He was into pale rosé though – huge plus. He’s a doctor and seems smart. Yes, if they ever need advice on rollerblading hotspots in London.
Honest, chatty, sarcastic. He said he enjoyed the date. He called me a “hardballer” who “takes no fools”.
To the tube station. We had a friendly hug and a wave. Another bottle of wine and some more tiramisu, but I had an early start.
6. I think as friends but I’m not sure the spark was there for me..
