The date: our daters had a meal at Coastes
First impression
Emily: ‘I wasn’t nervous. We were both comfortable with each other, plus he has a nice smile.’
Zihao: ‘I was slightly nervous, but after we started talking, things got a lot better.’
Chemistry
Emily: ‘While I don’t know if we had a romantic spark, he’s a very pleasant guy.’
Zihao: ‘We chatted for about two hours. I see myself being friends with her, but romantically, not yet.’
Awkward moment
Emily: ‘Not that I recall. We could talk comfortably despite meeting for the first time.’
Zihao: ‘Probably only at the start, when we talked over each other once or twice. I blame my nerves!’
Afterwards
Emily: ‘He asked for my number, and we took the train down the same line for a couple of stops.’
Zihao: ‘I asked for her number and texted her later to make sure she’d gotten home safe.’
Verdict
Emily: ♥♥♥♥ ‘I’ll give it a four. I think we got along super well given it was a blind date, and we both had a great time.’
Zihao: ♥♥♥♥ ‘Five hearts because conversation flowed so easily. But there were no sparks, so the date gets a three. Overall, it’s a four.’
