Blind date

Gavin on Gill First impressions? I didn't formulate one as it's usually detrimental. What did you talk about? Abandoned single gloves/shoes on the streets, interaction with the homeless, literature, the importance of supporting your local team (I didn't), time travel and the pursuit of dark matter. Any awkward moments? I support Manchester United and it didn't go down well. Good table manners? Impeccable. She even managed to remove a couple of fish bones in a classy fashion. Best thing about her? Her warm personality and her passion for her interests. She's superb company. Did you go on somewhere? No, my last bus was imminent. Marks out of 10? 7. Great restaurant. The conversation meandered rather than flowed, no spark but an enjoyable evening. Would you meet again? We didn't make any plans to. Gill on Gavin First impressions? Very polite and well mannered. I was a bit late, but he didn't seem to mind. He put me at ease right away. What did you talk about? Aubergines, wine, cooking, speed dating, football, the fact we are both studying part-time, reading. Any awkward moments? We both had a lot to say and had similar views on quite a lot, so there weren't any gaps in the conversation. Good table manners? I did tell him linguine was not wise for a first date, but he managed not to get it all over himself! Best thing about him? His attempts at various accents that all sounded like his own! They made me laugh. Did you go on somewhere? No, we spent so long in the restaurant that it was quite late. Marks out of 10? I would have to give the whole evening 8. Would you meet again? As friends. We had a lot in common, but I don't think the spark was there. • Gill and Gavin ate at The Restaurant Bar & Grill , Leeds. Fancy a blind date? Email: [email protected]
