Blind date: He said he didn't feel great and left I suspect it was because the conversation had run dry'

"The obligatory coming out stories and dating/hookup horrors. Most awkward moment? Probably when we were in the cab going to a bar after the date and he made his excuses to leave because he wasn't feeling great. I suspect it may actually have been because the conversation had run dry. Good table manners? Impeccable! Best thing about Oisin? He's super polite and well mannered."

"Would you introduce to your friends? Yes, in a this is the guy I went on a Guardian blind date with context. Q&AShow 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."

Blind Date pairs two strangers for dinner and drinks and publishes their Q&A and a photograph in the Saturday magazine and online. One date hoped for a good time and to try something new. First impressions were tall, handsome and twenty minutes late. Conversation covered work, travel, festival performances, coming-out stories and dating/hookup horrors. The most awkward moment occurred when the other person left a cab saying they were unwell, possibly because conversation had run dry. Table manners were impeccable. The best quality noted was politeness and good manners. Participants provide first name, job and age and answer a set of questions honestly.
