Our daters had a meal at Sideways: Woodfired Restaurant & Bar
Sarah: “I was a bit surprised by the match. I wasn’t expecting someone in their mid-thirties. I thought he looked friendly.”
Chris: “I was surprised because she arrived earlier than me, even though I was already early myself. She seemed cool and relaxed.”
Sarah: “We were able to talk openly about work, what we liked, and didn’t like. He made an effort to connect but I felt like he was just a friend and I don’t think we have similar interests.”
Chris: “We clicked pretty well in my opinion. We talked about everything and anything, so there may be some chemistry – but I’m not really good at reading this kind of stuff. But personally, I had a good time.”
Sarah: “During the date, he cracked jokes with the owner but she didn’t understand them and just seemed puzzled. He had to brush it off with an ‘oh, nevermind’. ”
Chris: “We asked the owner to help us take a picture. I made a couple of stupid jokes that kind of made her feel embarrassed. Can’t remember exactly, but it was something about Yishun.”
Sarah: “We just went home after dinner.”
Chris: “We couldn’t really do anything afterwards as we both had work the next day. We just walked to the MRT together and continued chatting.”
Sarah: ♥♥♥ “It was nice getting to know somebody from a different background but overall, there was no spark between us.”
Chris: ♥♥♥♥ “I had a really good time with her. If I had the chance, I would love to spend more time getting to know her in the future. ”
