Version 0 of 1.

Anna on Ben

What were you hoping for? Not to be asked my favourite vegetable, as I was on my last blind date.

First impressions? Nice jacket.

What did you talk about? Travelling (his; I'm hopeless at it), work, writing books, the Muppet Show (he's never seen it!).

Any awkward moments? The conversation dried up towards the end.

Good table manners? Yes, considering we had lobster.

Best thing about him? A really easy manner.

Would you introduce him to your friends? As a human being I went on a blind date in the Guardian with.

Describe Ben in three words? Genuine, kind, thoughtful.

What do you think he made of you? Not his type. Perhaps disappointed I don't drink very much.

And... did you kiss? Only on saying bye.

Marks out of 10? 7.

Would you meet again? He lives round the corner, so we might see each other in Costcutter, but that'd be it.

Ben on Anna

What were you hoping for? Confidence, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

First impressions? Relief that we hadn't already met.

What did you talk about? The Muppets, Moomins, what DJs do in the day.

Any awkward moments? She said she wasn't into sharing food just after we'd ordered sharing plates.

Good table manners? She cracked crab in a refined way.

Best thing about her? She has "professional show-off" on her business cards.

Would you introduce her to your friends? They read this paper, so I just have.

Describe Anna in three words? Doesn't take holidays.

What do you think she made of you? Not what she was expecting.

And... did you kiss? No.

Marks out of 10? 6.5.

Would you meet again? She was nice, but there wasn't the connection for a second date.
