Body & mind PuzzlesWhat were you hoping for?
At best a nice evening and a bit
of a laugh, or at the very least
a funny story.
First impressions?
Very handsome, and had made an
eff ort to dress nicely – on the top
half, at least.
What did you talk about?
His work on cruise ships,
my work, the gym/weightlifting,
how expensive it is to drink
in London, food, travel and
drinking games.
Any awkward moments?
Strangely, no.
Good table manners?
He kept picking at his food when he
thought I couldn’t see him, which
made me laugh, and I defi nitely
caught him spitting something back
out. He was clearly starving, but
so polite he didn’t want to eat until
I said I was hungry.
Best thing about Will?
He is so easy to get along with.
Would you introduce him to your
friends?
Most likely, yes.

Will, 28, actor/singer
What do you think he made of you?
It was a relief when he pointed
out that I was “clearly a girl ”!
Very talkative, with a tendency to
go off on tangents, and hopefully
quite fun.
Any connection issues?
Pretty good considering we both live
in west Wales.
And ... did you swap numbers?
Yes.
How did the call end?
That part of the evening is a little
bit hazy, but as it was about 1am
on a Monday I think I had to
call it a night. We both queued up
each other’s top three favourite
songs to listen to afterwards,
which was fun.
If you could change one thing about
the evening what would it be?
It would have been in person.
Marks out of 10?
8.5.
Would you meet again?
I think so.What were you hoping for?
To fi nd some common interests
and beliefs, and someone who has
a sense of humour.
First impressions?
Pretty, friendly and funny.
What did you talk about?
My recent battle with Covid, her
interesting work, my lack of work,
our equally eclectic tastes in music.
Any awkward moments?
Steph may have caught me
sneaking a bit of my food while
she was off screen ... Also, at one
point, I said, “ You’re clearly a
woman,” when trying to say it was
cool to meet a feminine woman
who enjoyed Olympic lifting and
strength work.
Good table manners?
Yes. She demolished a pizza with
slices bigger than her torso. I was
impressed.
Best thing about Steph?
She did not take her self seriously, was
clearly here for a laugh and to try
something. T here was nothing fake.
Would you introduce her to your
friends?
Absolutely, I’m sure she could hold
her own around anyone.Describe Steph in three words
Confi dent, funny, potty mouth.
What do you think she made of you?
Hopefully she found me charming
enough to look past the faults.
Any connection issues?
Not really.
And ... did you swap numbers?
We did.
How did the call end?
We brought it to an end somewhere
around the fi ve -hour mark and a few
rounds of a drinking game (her idea ).
If you could change one thing about
the evening what would it be?
That it was in person. The street she
lives on sounds like a right laugh, if
slightly dangerous.
Marks out of 10?
Funny, confi dent and similar views
and interests – it’s got to be 9.
Would you meet again?
To meet at all would be nice.
