Diana & Ben on their date

Ben on Diana

First impressions?
She had a sparkling eye yet seemed alluringly and surprisingly shy.

Any awkward moments?
Yes, but it was just that there was a little bit of confusion with the food.

How were their table manners?
I don’t pay attention to table manners – why would you be mannered when you’re eating anyway? That’s like trying to gulp in an unobtrusive manner or have sex without getting dirty.

Her height.

We talked about everything and anything.

Marks out of 10?
8 out of 10.

Second year
