Emma on Kyren
What were you hoping for?
A fun and interesting evening with someone easy to chat to.
First impressions?
Really lovely smile, kind eyes and a kind face.
What did you talk about?
Travel, food, art and being freelance. The conversation flowed really easily.
Any awkward moments?
Not for me.

Yes, we even giggled when two lentils were left sadly on the table.
Best thing about Kyren?
Her openness and wit.
Would you introduce her to your friends?
Yes, I think they would like her.
Describe her in three words
Funny, talented, open.
What do you think she made of you?
I hope she liked me. I think I made her laugh.
Did you go on somewhere?
Yes, for a couple of drinks in Soho. Everywhere was rammed, so we ended up outside a random pub. It was as if we had a sign saying “talk to us”, because everyone kept chatting to us.
And... did you kiss?
No.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
I’d have gone for a less sweet brownie.

What do you think she made of you?
That I’m slightly mad with my catchphrase – I said “back in the day” way too much.

And... did you kiss?
No kiss, just a hug goodnight.

To have had a hearty dinner rather than nibbles, because the alcohol went to my head.
