Blind Date

George on Caitlin 

What were you hoping for?

I don’t have a great history with dates, so really anything short of setting the table and/or myself on fire would have counted as a success.

First impressions?

Very impressive, combining good taste and rustic charm. Caitlin looked great too.

What did you talk about?

To be honest, we really struggled; with Nouse being out of print over the Summer, neither of us had a clue what to think about major world events. We just ended up talking about the weather and Miley Cyrus.

Any awkward moments?

Not that I can remember, hopefully Caitlin says something similar otherwise this kinda is…

What did you eat?

Following a recommendation, I had a fantastic steak, followed by Gin & Tonic and Strawberry Sorbets, but was quite envious of the chocolate cheesecake.

Best thing?

The steak really was brilliant.

What did she wear?

I know almost as little about fashion as Kallum (YUSU president), I’m afraid. But I do know she looked great.

Most interesting thing you learned

She has an enormous catalogue of Ziggy’s stories to her name, most of which shouldn’t be repeated in polite company.

Did you go on anywhere?

Went round the corner for Cocktails at Dusk & Blue Fly after which was great.

Did you kiss?

Not that I can remember; it all gets a bit hazy after 11pm.

If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?

I’d have had the chocolate cheesecake.

Do you think they’d make a good lover?

There is no polite way to answer that question. Move on.
(George blushes).

Marks out of 10?

10. She was flawless.

Caitlin on George

What were you hoping for?

I was just hoping for a lovely meal and good company!

First impressions?

Good at avoiding awkward silences. Tall, dark and handsome.

What did you talk about?

It was hard going because we weren’t sure whAat to believe without the Yorker offering up independently-verified news.

Any awkward moments?

When Miley Cyrus came up in conversation, he did offer to twerk.

What did you eat?

I ordered the steak – absolutely to die for. I felt quite spoiled with so much meat on the menu!

Best thing?

The cheesecake was heaven.

What did he wear?

A nice casual outfit of jeans, shirt and jumper. Simple but slick.

Most interesting thing you learned

For a man of authority, he’s bent the rules a lot.

Did you go on anywhere?

We had cocktails at Blue Fly and Dusk.

Did you kiss?

Maybe.

If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?

Not a thing. it was perfect.

Do you think they’d make a good lover?

Errrr…maybe? Haa. (Caitlin cackles mischevously, licks her lip and raises an eyebrow).

Marks out of 10?

8/10. Swoon.
