"What were you hoping for? To meet someone fun, maybe a bit of romance. First impressions? Warm and friendly. Excellent sweater vest. Excellent name, too. What did you talk about? The Bridget Jones films (1, 2, 3 and 4). The trials and tribulations of being a 13-year-old. What we'd tell our colleagues about our evening. Books that I buy my stepdad. Pulp. Scissor Sisters. Our actual sisters. At what point is a toastie a pie. Garibaldi biscuits and their origins in Bermondsey."
"Most awkward moment? Maybe all the times I tried to speak with my mouth full, but honestly, he didn't mind at all. Good table manners? We agreed to share everything and order as much as we could on the Guardian's dime. Best thing about Culann? He's great to chat to, incredibly understanding and indulged in all my tangents and theories. I know that's not one thing, but I feel they all go together."
"Describe Culann in three words. An absolute delight. What do you think he made of you? I got a giggle out of him a few times, so I'm gassed about that. Did you go on somewhere? Yes. And did you kiss? Yes. If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be? Only to hang out south of the river no offence to north London. Marks out of 10? 10. Would you meet again? We're planning to!"
The dater hoped to meet someone fun and possibly find romance. First impressions were warm and friendly, with note of an excellent sweater vest and name. Conversation covered Bridget Jones films, the trials of being 13, books, music (Pulp, Scissor Sisters), family, toasties versus pies, and Garibaldi biscuits' Bermondsey origins. The most awkward moments occurred when speaking with a mouth full, but the partner did not mind. They agreed to share food and order liberally. Culann was described as conversational, understanding, indulgent of tangents, and 'an absolute delight.' They kissed, rated the evening 10/10, and plan to meet again, preferring future dates south of the river.
