Laurence on Victoria
What were you hoping for? A bit of fun.
First impressions? She looked great and seemed easy-going.
What did you talk about? Where we've lived, films, work, whether buses are better than the tube.
Any awkward moments? A bit of a cocktail spillage.
Good table manners? Definitely – she gave me her last glass of wine so she could squeeze in another cocktail.
Best thing about her? Friendly and easy to talk to.
Would you introduce her to your friends? Yes.
Describe Victoria in three words Chatty, fashionable, fun.
What do you think she made of you? I'm not too sure she was that impressed with my lack of fashion knowledge.
Did you go on somewhere? For a drink in a bar.
And... did you kiss? No.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? Monday nights aren't the best.
Marks out of 10? 7.
Would you meet again? I don't think either of us thought we really hit it off.
Victoria on Laurence
What were you hoping for? A millionaire with a yacht in Sardinia – and perhaps my soul mate.
First impressions? Very handsome. Good build, nice smile, polite.
What did you talk about? Family, work, travel, fashion, Las Vegas, his beetroot risotto being very pink, not liking fennel, my quitting university twice.
Any awkward moments? I spilled a cocktail down myself in the first four minutes.
Good table manners? No complaints.
Best thing about him? His arms.
Would you introduce him to your friends? Yes.
Describe Laurence in three words Handsome, gentlemanly, sweet.
What do you think he made of you? Maybe he found me a bit modern.
Did you go on somewhere? To a bar around the corner.
And... did you kiss? No.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? That there was more chemistry.
Marks out of 10? 8.
Would you meet again? I gave him my number, so the ball is in his court.
