Nadeem on Anona What were you hoping for? To meet someone engaging, funny and attractive. First impressions? I think all three of the above were achieved. What did you talk about? Lamb v beef. Wine (malbec was quite a discussion topic). Table manners (and me risking a crisp, white shirt with french onion soup). Living abroad and coming home to the UK. How proud we are of our kids. Most awkward moment? None, Anona was easygoing. It was a very pleasant evening. Good table manners? Hers, yes indeed. Mine? My shirt went straight into the wash when I got home. Best thing about Anona? Her sparkling charm. Would you introduce Anona to your friends? I think they would be intrigued by her. Describe Anona in three words Beautiful, clever and a great conversationalist. What do you think Anona made of you? I was too busy having a nice time to ponder that question. Did you go on somewhere? No, it was late, and Poole’s night life is not all it’s cracked up to be. And … did you kiss? No, a gentle goodbye hug. If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? It was a great evening, why change anything? Marks out of 10? For the evening, food, conversation and the company, a straight 10. Would you meet again? We exchanged numbers. Anona and Nadeem ate at Hotel du Vin, Poole. Fancy a blind date? Email blind.date@theguardian.com
