This week York Vision carved a thoroughfare to love for haughty single young things Dan Ashcroft and Caitlin O’Kelley. Will the committed James JCRC member manage to forge a bond with the mercurial left-leaning feminist, or will the pair find themselves alone? Again. Have a read to see what happens when Catholics collide…
Dan on Caitlin
What were you hoping for?
A good laugh. Good food. A good night.
First impressions?
I recognised her. Which was nice.
What did you talk about?
Course, travelling, future plans, vegetarianism. A fair bit of
common ground.
Any awkward moments?
A couple.
What did you eat?
I had some veggie mousse thing which I would recommend. Tofu steak for main which was okay. Had some falafels and called them fal-a-falls. Had a sticky toffee pudding. It didn’t have eggs in.
Best thing?
Falafels.
What did she wear?
Oh my god (mumbles inaudibly for several seconds.) A red dress. Maybe a jacket.
Most interesting thing you learned?
That her parents had a yacht which is pretty cool. We don’t have many yachts in Liverpool.
Did you go on anywhere?
We went to the bar next door.
Did you kiss?
No. I think we might be one for the friend zone.
What would you change about the evening?
Go somewhere that doesn’t just do veggie food. Good if you’re a
vegetarian I guess.
Do you think they’d make a good lover?
I think we’d be better as mates.

Caitlin on Dan
What were you hoping for?
The main thing was talking and having nice food.
First impressions?
A bit awkward getting there before the match maker, but conversation flowed from the beginning. He is quite tall.
What did you talk about?
Climbing Kilimanjaro, me going to India, football – I’m not that interested. How we got roped into going on the date. Patrick (Editor) mentioned it and I said yes as a joke. I found out the next day I’d been signed up.
Any awkward moments?
Knowing Jamie (the waiter and kind host). Rose petals on the table.
What did you eat?
I love El Piano. I’m a vegetarian so I go there alot. I had hummus, chili cincinnati, croquetas and the chocolate brownie.
It was amazing.
Best thing?
The brownie. It had an amazing orange sauce.
What did she wear?
A blue and white plaid shirt, jeans and a comfortable-looking hoody.
Most interesting thing you learned?
It takes six days to climb Kilimanjaro. He only has male siblings.
Did you go on anywhere?
We went for a couple of cocktails around the corner at 1331. We left at about 10.30.
Did you kiss?
No. Settled for the awkward hug.
What would you change about the evening?
It was raining pretty
horrendously.
Do you think they’d make a good lover?
I don’t know. He had a soft voice. That said, I am a
Catholic.
