Blind date

Georgia on Tom First impressions? Thank goodness he was still there! I was about 15 minutes late. Nice beard. What did you talk about? South America, whether fate exists (we're not sure, but would like to think so), occupational therapy, music, the unusual combination of foods on the menu (all delicious!), private v public sector work, the drinks trolley and sleep pods at my work! Any awkward moments? I felt horribly awkward being late, but he was lovely about it. Good table manners? Impeccable. And we shared dishes. Best thing about him? Excellent company, entertaining, laughed easily and frequently. Did you go on somewhere? The tube station, where we found we'd missed the last train. We couldn't believe how fast the evening had gone. Marks out of 10? 8.5. Would you meet again? We're both off to Bestival on the Isle of Wight in a few weeks, so we might have a pint together there. Tom on Georgia First impressions? She seemed nervous (as I was), but really friendly. What did you talk about? What made us put ourselves forward for the blind date, our jobs, university, cycling in London. We've both been travelling in Latin America and want to go back. Any awkward moments? None at all. Good table manners? Perfect. Best thing about her? Great company, really open. Did you go on somewhere? To the night bus stop. Marks out of 10? 10 – a lovely evening and a great experience. Would you meet again? I enjoyed the night and thought we got on really well, but I'm not sure if we'll arrange to meet up again. We're both going to the same music festival in September, so it would be great to run into her and catch up then. • Georgia and Tom ate at Paradise , 19 Kilburn Lane, London W10. Fancy a blind date?
