Blind date: The most awkward moment? Trying to get the lighting right for our cute little selfie'
"What were you hoping for? To have a fun Saturday night with someone kind and easygoing. First impressions? Fred instantly made me feel very comfortable we seemed to just swing straight into conversation and have a laugh. Oh, and I noticed his lovely eyes straight away. What did you talk about? Books. Our West Country upbringings. Reality TV. Opera and theatre just about everything really. We matched each other's energy and ability to go off on tangents, so never completed a conversation or thought."
"Show Blind date is Saturday's dating column: every week, two strangers are paired up for dinner and drinks, and then spill the beans to us, answering a set of questions. This runs, with a photograph we take of each dater before the date, in Saturday magazine (in the UK) and online at theguardian.com every Saturday. It's been running since 2009"
