Jonny on Kit

What were you hoping for?
Not to make a fool of myself, and to avoid small talk.

First impressions?
Pretty girl. Not my usual type, but she was really down to earth.

What did you talk about?
I remember us both being sickened by the PDA going on at table six.

Any awkward moments?
When I had to dispose of some chicken gristle into a napkin.

Good table manners?
Very well behaved. Although she is a veggie. Bad news.

Best thing about Kit?
We laughed a lot.

Would you introduce her to your friends?
Don’t see why not.

Describe Kit in three words
A good laugh.

What do you think she made of you?
Hard to tell. I hope she had fun.

Did you go on somewhere?
Some ropey pub next door; we both felt more at home.

And... did you kiss?
I could be wrong, but I’m sure she said something along the lines of, “You haven’t kissed me yet.” So I did as I was told.

If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
Nothing springs to mind.

Marks out of 10?
7.

Would you meet again?
Yeah, we swapped numbers. I had a good time.

Kit on Jonny

What were you hoping for?
To have a laugh and get a good story out of it.

First impressions?
Friendly and relaxed.

What did you talk about?
Holidays with our mums, and failing dry January. He also taught me how to wink.

Any awkward moments?
When he went outside for a few minutes, then came back in: not sure what that was about.

Good table manners?
He showed off his silver service skills.

Best thing about Jonny?
He’s really easy to chat to and have a laugh with.

Would you introduce him to your friends?
Definitely, they’d love him.

Describe Jonny in three words
Funny, cheerful, handsome.

What do you think he made of you?
Terrible at winking.

Did you go on somewhere?
To a bar down the street.

And... did you kiss?
Yes.

If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
Nothing, it was good fun.

Marks out of 10?
I shouldn’t flatter his ego, but 8.

Would you meet again?
We swapped numbers, so we’ll see.
