Emily on Krishan
What were you hoping for?
Leonardo DiCaprio circa 1997. Failing that, a cute guy who doesn’t take himself too seriously.
First impressions?
Punctual and well-dressed.
What did you talk about?
The perks of going to the theatre on your own, selfie culture, Adam from Love Island’s tattoos.
Any awkward moments?
I got a little tipsy and muddled my words a few times.
Good table manners?
Exemplary.
Best thing about Krishan?
He’s easy to talk to. His dance moves are also quite something.
Would you introduce him to your friends?
Of course.
Describe him in three words
Intelligent, engaging, funny.
What do you think he made of you?
Talkative, maybe a little bit daft.
Did you go on somewhere?
We headed to a bar.
And… did you kiss?
I said I’d say we didn’t, but…
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
I would have worn comfortable shoes. Platform sandals really do a number on your feet.
Marks out of 10?
8.
Would you meet again?
Yeah, I would. If he asks me.

She was friendly and seemed genuinely excited by the prospect of the evening ahead.

Nothing to fault.

I inadvertently invited her on a night out.
And… did you kiss?
No comment.

A couple of desserts would have been a perfect addition.

8.
