Blind Date: Tom and Alice
Tom, 4th Year Medical Student
First impressions?
She was well dressed and attractive.
What did you have to eat?
I had the trof burger and a honeysuckle cocktail.
What did you guys talk about?
We talked about our courses, where we had been travelling and a bit about sport.
If they were an alcoholic beverage which one would they be and why?
Maybe some kind of Spanish drink because she has lived out there, Sangria.
Were there any awkward silences?
Not really, maybe a couple of short silences but they didn’t feel awkward.
Rating?
7/10
Finally, hug, kiss or something more?
Just a hug.
Alice, 3rd Year Spanish and Linguistics Student
First impressions?
Good! Clean, polite, and punctual.
What did you have to eat?
Cheese burger and chips and a chocolate brownie with cream. (Tom didn’t get pudding… but it’s free?!)
What did you guys talk about?
Mutual friends, lads, football, Wales. Star Wars, growing up without television. Tom’s friend who looks like a paedophile and sends him religious books from India.
If they were an alcoholic beverage which one would they be and why?
A cosmopolitan. Undoubtedly a huge hit with the ladies, but perhaps not to my taste.
Were there any awkward silences?
No, it was a really fun evening! we had plenty to talk about and got a bit boozy. (One awkward conversation when Tom called Tottenham the yids…. but generally a charmer.)
Rating?
Tom is a total 8 (fun, attractive, intelligent), but there was no spark between us…
Finally, hug, kiss or something more?
A hug and a friendly promise that he’ll teach me squash!
