Pretty, and easy to talk to.

Her eyes and smile. And her passion for art.
Would you introduce her to your friends?
Yes.
Describe her in three words
Pretty, kind, good listener.
What do you think she made of you?
Slightly nervous? I hope I made a good impression with my ironed shirt and jeans.
Did you go on somewhere?
No. It was a school night, and late.
And... did you kiss?
A peck on the cheek when she arrived.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
It was humid and we both suffer from hay fever, so I’d have liked some more air in the venue.
