Ricci on Roger
What were you hoping for?
Someone who could maybe lead on to a second date or at the very least, a new mate.
First impressions?
Handsome, well dressed and pretty chatty.
What did you talk about?
Absolutely everything. It was weird – we have loads of similarities.
Any awkward moments?
We did bump into one of his friends – his mate’s face was a picture.
Good table manners?
Brilliant.
Best thing about Roger?
His chat is second to none.
Would you introduce him to your friends?
Yes.
Describe him in three words
Charismatic, handsome, friendly.
What do you think he made of you?
Well he got top marks for understanding my Scottish accent. I’m sure he thought I was a bit of a motormouth.
Did you go on somewhere?
Yes, we went to Milroy’s and The Vault in Soho.
And… did you kiss?
I don’t kiss and tell.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
Nothing really.
Marks out of 10?
7.5.
Would you meet again?
It would be silly not to.
