Suzie on Toby What were you hoping for? A cute evening meeting someone new – and a fun story to tell. First impressions? Cool style, I liked his hair and earring. What did you talk about? Crafts – he likes wood carving and I like making clothes. Etymology. The wig he has to wear for work. Most awkward moment? Toby tried to bond with our Bulgarian waiter over his knowledge of one Bulgarian author. He had never heard of her and was a little unimpressed. Good table manners? He was neat, a few instances of large mouthfuls before trying to talk but we kept laughing about it. Best thing about Toby? His dry sense of humour and that he proudly showed me a wooden frog he had carved. Would you introduce Toby to your friends? Yes, I have a few friends with similar niche book knowledge. Describe Toby in three words. Intellectual, charming, sweet. What do you think Toby made of you? Hopefully, that I was cute. Maybe a little too mean with my jokes … Did you go on somewhere? Nope, he had to go home to prepare for a case. And … did you kiss? A little cheek peck, it was a super busy street otherwise I think there could have been potential for a kiss. If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be? Limited veggie options, but we ended up sharing starters which was nice. Marks out of 10? 7. Would you meet again? I’d be up for a drink somewhere we’re both a little more relaxed to see what the vibe is. Toby on Suzie What were you hoping for? Is it possible to say, “have fun and maybe meet someone cool” without sounding like someone’s aunt? First impressions? Friendly, smiley – and she was wearing this great top she’d made herself. What did you talk about? Intermittent vegetarianism. Fruit-based tattoos. Our mutual home town. Most awkward moment? None – although I almost got hit by a car on the way in.

I would have liked another drink or two if it weren’t for the burden of having to not be hungover at work. Marks out of 10? 7. Would you meet again?
