Blind Date: My contact lens fell out towards the end, so we had to cut it short'
"What were you hoping for? A memorable evening, good company and to meet someone I wouldn't have crossed paths with. I'm a romantic, so I like the idea of letting the universe (or the Guardian) do some matchmaking instead of the Hinge monotony. First impressions? Friendly smile, punctual and warm. What did you talk about? Instagram. Books. Film. Travel. Identity. Family. Reggae Reggae crisps."
"Most awkward moment? Neither of us wanted to finish the last bits of tapas. The waitress came to the table a couple of times before we eventually finished it off. Good table manners? Impeccable, and good taste in food too. Best thing about Arun? He's a really good conversationalist: he listens, responds thoughtfully, and is open about his life and experiences."
