Happy and relaxed.

B-movies (Sharknado, Croctopus, etc), holiday aspirations and cooking.

Wicked sense of humour.
Would you introduce her to your friends?
She’s probably too mature for most of my friends.

Sharp, witty, engaging.

Probably seen too many Sharknado films and overly adventurous.

No.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
I wouldn’t have filled up on almonds at the start.

Not in a date context, I don’t think.
