Blind Date

Imogen on Jamie…

Hopes and fears before the date?
I was worried he wouldn’t turn up! I hoped he’d be nice and funny, but was afraid it’d be someone that would cut me up into little pieces!

First Impressions?
Sweet natured and kind: a heart of gold. He seemed slightly nervous.

What did you chat about?
We talked about sports and about his rowing and my running. That and about the future.

Any awkward moments?
No, he kept on chatting which was really nice because there were no awkward silences.

His best feature?
His personality.

His worst feature?
Oh no! Don’t ask that because he’ll say something horrible about me!

Would you introduce him to your friends?
Yes!

Could he meet your parents?
He’s definitely parent material. 100%.

Did you go on anywhere?
Nope.

How did you part company?
Just with an awkward nod.

Marks out of 10?
7.

Would you like to meet again?
He seems really lovely but there wasn’t that much chemistry. I’m sure I’ll see him around.

Jamie on Imogen…

Hopes and fears before the date?
Hopes would be that she is like a female David Beckham with less facial hair. Fears were that she’d be another one to fall madly in love with me and I’d have another clinger on my hands.

First impressions?
That she was really easy to talk to, we seemed to get on well straight away and had quite a lot in common.

What did you chat about?
Lots of stuff; Revs, marathons, Made in Chelsea, history, art, history of art, The O.C., moustaches, the property industry, rowing, all the usual things.

Any awkward moments?
Not really, apart from an extremely awkward encounter with an overly friendly local man.

Her best feature?
She was so friendly and warm, which meant there was never any awkward silences.

Her worst feature?
Rubbing it in that she had finished exams and I hadn’t.

Would you introduce her to your friends?
Yeah definitely, she seems like she could get along with anyone.

Could she meet the parents?
That’s a pretty big step, but I’m sure she would make a good impression.

Did you go on anywhere?
With the crowd that The Rose & Crown brings on an early evening, there was no need.

How did you part company?
I’m a big fan of the friendly hug, don’t knock it.

If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
Nothing from the actual date really.

Marks out of 10?
A solid 7 I’d say.

Would you like to meet again?
Yeah why not.
