"What were you hoping for? To have a refreshing new experience. I was curious to see who the Guardian would match me with. First impressions? Very smiley and friendly. What did you talk about? Food! My love of exploring the UK and his of Alan Partridge. We compared stories of how our parents met. Most awkward moment? When he got stuck at the barriers at the tube when we said goodbye. We had to hug over the barriers."
"Good table manners? Yes, definitely. Best thing about Tom? He's funny. Would you introduce Tom to your friends? Yes. Describe Tom in three words Funny, smiley and warm. What do you think Tom made of you? Hopefully he thought I was nice and genuine. 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."
"What questions will I be asked? We ask about age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests and the type of person you are looking to meet. If you do not think these questions cover everything you would like to know, tell us what's on your mind. Can I choose who I match with? No, it's a blind date! But we do ask you a bit about your interests, preferences, etc the more you tell us, the better the match is likely to be."
