"What were you hoping for? To snog the love of my life. Failing that, I'd heard good things about the broccoli. First impressions? Great glasses, great Scottish accent, great punctuality. A strong start. What did you talk about? Living on Shetland, in Japan, Berlin, Norwich. Books. Boats. Most awkward moment? When some of our fellow diners started singing and dancing along to the music."
"Turns out there are some restaurant-goers out there who really, really love the work of Jon Bon Jovi. Good table manners? Absolutely. Best thing about Emmie? Her curiosity for art and literature. And she's very funny. 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."
