So, how did you find the date?
I had a lovely time. Great company, location (and drinks!)
How did you find the date location?
The bar was incredible, I will definitely be taking my friends there. The menu was laid out like a travel brochure, it was really cool. The staff were all lovely too, they were so enthusiastic when I told them I was there for a blind date.
What do you look for in a potential partner?
Main thing is a good conversation. I can talk people’s ears off if they let me so ideally I’d want a partner who can balance the conversation well and ask as many questions as I do.
