Blind date: Connor and Morag

Our first blind date of the year!
Categories:
TLDR

Connor, American Studies, 3rd year

First impressions?

I don’t usually go for chicks but, considering I’d already come this far, I was more than happy to give it a go.

What did you have to eat?

We established a shared love of condiments early on and opted for 5 portions of fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, bbq sauce, mustard and sweet chilli dip.

If they were an alcoholic beverage which one would they be and why?

Double Malibu and Coke; essentially perfect but for some reason society frowns upon a male been seen with them.

Were there any awkward silences?

Finally, hug, kiss or something more?

Does a long-lasting friendship count as something more?

 

 

Morag, Geography, 3rd Year

First impressions?

Suprisingly long arms and legs.

What did you have to eat? 

Veggie Shepherds Pie.

If they were an alcoholic beverage which one would they be and why?

Gin: not easy at first but the taste grows on you.

Were there any awkward silences?

When he asked me why I wore knitwear.

Finally, hug, kiss or something more?

A lovely friendly hug.
