Blind date: Lloyd and Tasha

Lloyd, Third year Computer Science & Mancunion columnist/web expert

What were your expectations for the evening?

To finally escape the dungeon of computers I have been trapped in for the last few months and communicate with a biological entity

First impressions?

Humanoid

What did you talk about?

I think I mentioned my passion for prehistoric reptiles and most notably a great 90’s sitcom involving them; it was very polite of her to not walk out after that

Best thing about them?

Not a computer

What did you eat?

A bleeding bulk of bovine

Any awkwardness?

When she mentioned her love of sushi – but not fish

How did you part ways? (Mouth-to-mouth action/heavy petting/friendly hug?)

A big Hi-five, actually it may have been just a hug

Out of 10?

8

Would you see them again?

Due to the grand revelation that we have a friend common, it’s possible that we may bump into each other at some point.

Tasha, Third year Zoology

What were your expectations for the evening?

Free food and nice company

First impressions?

Good glasses

What did you talk about?

His love for dinosaurs and fast cycling – he was definitely a talker!

Best thing about them?

A great and highly animated story teller

What did you eat?

A chicken dish off the specials

Any awkwardness?

Whenever the waiter asked us a question I think it was quite awkward as neither of us were particularly forward in taking the lead in answering

How did you part ways? (Mouth-to-mouth action/heavy petting/friendly hug?)

Friendly hug

Out of 10?

6

Would you see them again?

Possibly as a friend but otherwise I feel he may be a bit ‘bare alternative’ for me
