What were your expectations for the blind date?
I was hoping for a delightful evening filled with good food, engaging conversation, and more delicious dishes to savor.
What were your initial impressions of each other?
Tim was tall, radiantly happy, and gave me a friendly kiss right off the bat.
What topics did you discuss during the date?
We talked about my lack of skills in ballroom dancing (which was a slight disappointment), the amazing food at the restaurant, our experiences living in London, personal histories, and our mutual love for Sondheim. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to cover everything we wanted to share.
Was there any awkward moment?
We gracefully navigated the dogs versus cats debate, remaining true gentlemen throughout the minefield of opinions.
How were Patrick’s table manners?
While laughing, talking, and eating simultaneously can be quite unsightly, we managed to rise above it all. Though our waiter might have a different opinion.
What impressed you most about Patrick?
This was Patrick’s first blind date, but he handled it with the skill and charm of a seasoned professional.
Would you recommend Patrick to your friends?
Absolutely. Patrick is a classy individual worth knowing.
Describe Patrick in three words.
Charming, attractive, and funny.

About the Blind Date Feature:
Fancy a blind date? Welcome to Blind Date, a weekly column where two strangers are paired up for a delightful dinner and drink experience. They spill all the details in a Q&A session, while providing a photograph taken before the date. This column is published every Saturday in Saturday magazine (in the UK) and online at theguardian.com. The feature has been running since 2009, and you can learn more about how it’s put together here.
What kind of questions will I be asked?
We inquire about your age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests, and the type of person you are interested in meeting. If you believe there are other important aspects we should cover, let us know what’s on your mind.
Can I choose my date?
No, it’s a blind date! However, we do ask for information about your interests and preferences. The more you share, the better the chance of finding a compatible match.
Do I get to select the photograph?
No worries! We will choose the most appealing photographs for you.
What personal details will be revealed?
Only your first name, occupation, and age.
How should I answer the questions?
Be honest and respectful in your responses. Keep in mind that your date will be reading them, and our Blind Date feature reaches a large audience both in print and online.
Will I see my date’s answers?
No, you won’t. We may edit both your answers and your date’s for various reasons, including length, and we may request additional details from you.
Will you find me my soulmate?
We’ll certainly give it our best shot! Who knows, marriage and babies might be in your future.
Can I participate if I’m not in London?
Sorry, but for now, we only accept applications from UK residents. Although many of our applicants reside in London, we are eager to hear from individuals in other locations.
