The evening began with mutual excitement, characterized by Joe's tall and friendly demeanor that immediately set a positive tone for the date. His dapper appearance, including a tie and a spare for good measure, impressed me right away.
Conversations ranged widely, touching on everything from Newcastle’s must-dos to the nuances of grape fermentation and trade unions. Joe's extensive knowledge made it easy to engage in all topics.
The most awkward moment of the evening occurred when Joe accidentally miscalculated his age, mistaking it for two years less than the truth. My reaction failed to mask my surprise and confusion, a misstep in the otherwise smooth flow of conversation.
What I appreciated most about Joe was his ability to engage. He was not just easy to talk to, but also very knowledgeable, ready with facts on various subjects. That made our conversation enjoyable and left me wanting more.
