Alex on Andrew
What were you hoping for?
I was hoping to find love in a hopeless place.
First impressions?
Very cute and polite. I felt at ease quickly.

Skiing. Exes. How Charles II brought back the monarchy … there was a lot of discussion of what we would do if we were king.
Most awkward moment?
I didn’t feel awkward, really.
Good table manners?
Too good! Mine are terrible.
Best thing about Andrew?
His zest for life and his openness. We have similar ordering (and drinking) habits too, which was cool.

Sure, they’d like him – and we probably have a couple in common already.
Describe Andrew in three words.
Cute, kind, charismatic.
What do you think Andrew made of you?
Hopefully he thought I was OK, and enjoyed my choice of bar afterwards.
Did you go on somewhere?
Yes, shout out Garlic & Shots, shout out the blood shot.
And … did you kiss?
Nope. There wasn’t an opportunity, but maybe next time.
If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?
I can always do with more food and more wine. But other than that, nothing – I had a wonderful time.

9.
Would you meet again?
For sure, I reckon we might.
