Blind date

Lance on Jo First impressions? Wow! Very attractive, intelligent, and interesting. What did you talk about? Travelling, religion, family, tattoos, music, history… Any awkward moments? I'm awful with time and being on time, so had been telling myself that the date started at 7.30pm. But then I started to believe my own lie and thought Jo was late when she showed up on time at 8pm. Other than that, no awkward moments. Good table manners? Perfect. Best thing about her? She was easy to talk to and we seemed to have quite a few things in common. Did you go on somewhere? No, she had to start work at half six the next morning, so I walked her to her bus stop. Marks out of 10? 8. Everything was great, just not 9 or 10 quality! Would you meet again? Yeah, I'd like to. Jo on Lance First impressions? Very polite and friendly, instantly made me feel less nervous. What did you talk about? Our backgrounds, jobs, family, our differing World Cup allegiances, my impending trip to Vegas. Any awkward moments? He was under the impression I'd arrived late, when in fact he was early. Good table manners? Impeccable. He was very polite, offered to share his starter and encouraged me to eat fries with my fingers. Best thing about him? He was very friendly and chatty, and made me feel very comfortable. Did you go on somewhere? Unfortunately not. It was a school night and I have an early start in the mornings. Marks out of 10? He's a lovely guy, but basing the score on whether we'd date each other, it has to be a 6. Would you meet again? Yes, but just as friends. Sadly, there was no spark. • Lance and Josephine ate at The Blues Kitchen , London NW1. Fancy a blind date? Email: [email protected]
