"What were you hoping for? A fun evening with a stranger hopefully good chat and not painfully awkward. First impressions? Warm, friendly and charismatic. What did you talk about? What didn't we talk about? We discussed the dating world, our travel experiences, funny personal stories and British TV icons. Most awkward moment? When we both arrived at the same time and stood at the front of the restaurant wondering if we were each other's date but feeling too awkward to ask."
"Q&AShow Blind date is Saturday's dating column: every week, two strangers are paired up for dinner and drinks, and then spill the beans to us, answering a set of questions. This runs, with a photograph we take of each dater before the date, in Saturday magazine (in the UK) and online at theguardian.com every Saturday. It's been running since 2009 you can read all about how we put it together here."
A blind date aimed for a fun evening with a stranger, hoping for good conversation and minimal awkwardness. First impressions were warm, friendly and charismatic. Conversation covered the dating world, travel experiences, personal anecdotes and British TV icons. The most awkward moment occurred when both arrived simultaneously and hesitated at the restaurant entrance, unsure if they were each other's date. Both demonstrated good table manners. Ioan was praised for energetic, kind, lighthearted spirit. The column explains that Blind Date pairs strangers weekly for dinner and publishes Q&A responses and photographs. Participants provide basic details, answer set questions, and must be honest and respectful.
