Blind date

Emma on Rob Before the date, what were you hoping for? Ron Swanson , or just someone tall and funny. First impressions? He looked a bit public school boy, to be honest. Spoke well, dressed smart. Very charming. What did you talk about? Turns out he went to uni in my hometown, so we talked about student nights at the Fez Club. I also told a few cheese jokes – he wasn't so impressed. Obviously not a "grate" sense of humour. Any awkward moments? Not that I remember. Good table manners? Better than mine. I spilled my cocktail. Best thing about him? He was pretty funny and very charming. Would you introduce him to your friends? Turns out we have a friend in common. Could he meet the parents? I'm not sure he could handle my dad's jokes. Did you go on somewhere? No, it was a school night. And... did you kiss? Nope. If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? Maybe not spilling my drink. Marks out of 10? 7 – it was fun and the food was really good. Would you meet again? For a cup of tea, maybe. Rob on Emma Before the date, what were you hoping for? My parents' first date was a blind date, so the sky was the limit. First impressions? Good! She was tall, wearing this flowy, silky black dress and had bright red lips. What did you talk about? My childhood love of burying weird time capsules came up. Any awkward moments? None I can think of. Good table manners? Her side of the table ended up being hilariously messy – it resembled a gerbil's cage. Best thing about her? She was very sweet and fun. Would you introduce her to your friends? Why not? Could she meet the parents? See above. Did you go on somewhere? We stayed and capped the night off with pomegranate martinis. And... did you kiss? Peck on the cheek. If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be? More pomegranate martinis. Marks out of 10? 4. We were quite different people, but not in a good way. Would you meet again? I very much doubt it, no. • Emma and Rob ate at Roti Chai , London W1.Fancy a blind date? Email: [email protected]
