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

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.

Would you see them again?
Possibly as a friend but otherwise I feel he may be a bit ‘bare alternative’ for me
