Matt on Steph

What were you hoping for?To meet someone interesting and enjoy a slice of normality in the sea of crazy that is the world at the moment.

First impressions?Wonderful smile and easy to chat to.

What did you talk about?My geeky hobby of model painting, contemporary dance, what we do for a living, lockdown survival tactics.

Any awkward moments?Steph asked about my car (a Nissan Juke). I tried to show her, except it was too dark and then the connection was lost.

Good table manners?She ordered her housemate a takeaway as well, so that deserves a high score.

Best thing about Steph?She was really inquisitive, and was honest and open in return. I think we both overshared for a blind date, but equally, so it wasn’t awkward.

Would you introduce her to your friends?Yes, I’m sure she’d find them interesting.

Describe Steph in three wordsInquisitive, empathic and spirited.

What do you think she made of you?Steph said she wanted to meet someone quirky, which is an accurate description of me. I think she would have seen me as the good kind of quirky.
