Lucy, 40, a general manager, meets Leon, 45, an operations manager at a food charity
What were you hoping for? I’m a regular reader and have always wanted to be in the column, so mostly here for the vibes. Bumping into the love of my life would be nice, though …
First impressions? Enthusiastic and chatty. Australian.
What did you talk about? Australia. Jobs. Clubbing. Psychology. Politics. Film. Gender. Economics.
Most awkward moment? There were no awkward moments – except, I suppose, wondering if my gag gift of a toy bat (“as blind as a bat” for a blind date) would land. Hopefully Lucy will find it a fun souvenir.
Good table manners? We shared all the food. I will not say “impeccable” – a terrible stock answer.
Would you introduce Lucy to your friends? I have a broad range of friends who are all pretty chill and friendly, and Lucy is great, so of course! She would certainly fit in with my clubbing crowd!
Describe Lucy in three words Talkative, fun, interesting.
What do you think Lucy made of you? I think she had a good time. I hope she thought I was engaging, open and a bit random (in a good way). And interested in her.
