Jack on Lillith
What were you hoping for?
Lively conversation, not blighted by up-speak.
First impressions?
Initially anxious, but she was very easy to talk to.
What did you talk about?
Northern European cuisine, techno, orgies and whether Britain or Germany had more architectural disasters.
Any awkward moments?
She didn’t seem very impressed that I had already made after-date plans.
Good table manners?
I thought the lack of contribution to the tip was a little amiss.
Best thing about Lillith?
A fantastic, full–bodied laugh.
Would you introduce her to your friends?
I don’t think she deserves that.
Describe Lillith in three words
Convivial, successful, erudite.
What do you think she made of you?
It depends on whether she found my attempt to eat as much as humanly possible heroic or grotesque.
Did you go on somewhere?
No. I had a ticket to an Anthony Naples set, which in hindsight was extremely poor date etiquette.
And did you kiss?
Only on the cheek.
Would you change anything?
I would have insisted the second bottle of wine be red.
Marks out of 10?
8.
Would you meet again?
I think it’s unlikely.
Lillith on Jack
What were you hoping for?
That I’d fancy him and we’d get on.
First impressions?
He was quite young.
What did you talk about?
Our jobs, but neither of us could really figure out what the other one did.
Any awkward moments?
It seemed like he was just out to have this experience, as opposed to meeting someone new.
Good table manners?
Unfortunately not!
Best thing about Jack?
His energy.
Would you introduce him to your friends?
No.
Describe Jack in three words
Bubbly, outgoing, youthful.
What do you think he made of you?
I think we just didn’t fancy each other. No sparks!
Did you go on somewhere?
He’d already made plans.
And… did you kiss?
No.
If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?
I wish I could have had more compatible company.
Marks out of 10?
4.
Would you meet again?
Unfortunately not.
