What were you hoping for?
I was hoping to find someone to share a delightful evening of food and wine without any conflicts.
First impressions?
Absolutely stunning. Jem was well-dressed and exuded a warm and inviting energy.
What did you talk about?
We had discussions about migration policy, the concept of “vinyl daddies,” the ethics of bringing kids to music festivals, and learning to coexist with conspiracy theorists.
Most awkward moment?
There was a moment when I mistook a glass bottle of hand sanitizer for a drink and almost sprayed it in my mouth.
Good table manners?
Jem’s table manners were exemplary. We enjoyed the taster menu, savoring numerous incredible small plates and accompanying them with delicious wines.
Best thing about Jem?
Jem has a compassionate soul. Despite her reluctance, she shared a copy of the Daily Mail with a sick relative while she was in the hospital, as Jem works as a support worker for migrants.
Would you introduce Jem to your friends?
Without a doubt, I would introduce Jem to my friends.
Describe Jem in three words.
Gorgeous, empathetic, and fun.
What do you think Jem made of you?
Jem seemed to be enjoying herself. While there were no glaring signals, I felt friendly and flirtatious vibes from her on our first date.
Did you go on somewhere?
Yes, after our dinner, we headed to Soho for a couple of drinks. We found shelter from the rain under a pub awning.
And … did you kiss?
I didn’t kiss and I won’t tell.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
If only the bars in Soho stayed open later on Fridays.
Marks out of 10?
I would give it a 9.5.
Would you meet again?
Definitely. I even got her number.
Fancy a blind date?
