Blind date: Sam and Amy

Sam, First year, PPE

What were your expectations for the evening?

An uncomfortable discussion with a strange woman over steak.

First impressions?

She seemed nice, pleasant surprise that she knew Brighton quite well.

What did you talk about?

A variety of things; her trip to Zambia, our skepticism of Hastings, the Wikileaks and how we lived quite near to each other (Brighton and Tunbridge Wells respectively)

Best thing about them?

Well she was pleasant throughout and the stuff about going to Zambia was rather interesting.

What did you eat?

Sweet Potato Chips and Steak with a green salad.

Any awkwardness?

At one point I went to tell a joke, but it didn’t come off and I had to explain it for a couple of minutes…

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

I received a peck on the cheek on the bus home.

Would you see them again?

I’ll probably see her around the Uni.
