Coincidently, we discovered that we had both booked holidays for mates and only revealed the destination at the airport. How anyone without a vice is not to be trusted.My deep fear of turning 30. How Irish men are funnier and more handsome (his words). How we both have friend groups that organise surprise trips for each other. Katie was very friendly with great energy. As I always say, to an increasingly uninterested audience, three minutes late is the optimum arrival time so they can get a good look at you as you sweep in like Sophia Loren strutting into the Greggs on Streatham High Road. First impressions?Īnyone who arrives earlier than me immediately gets a gold star.
#DID FLAWLESS REAL TALK GET SIGNED SERIES#
The first couple of series were perfect as they were very real, but now it’s overly scripted which, as it always does, has somehow made it more boring than letting daters just get on with it. The banter between the waiters, the phone calls in the toilets, the post-date interviews – actually, no I like those, because you can always see how drunk they are, trying to form their thoughts and not show disappointment through streaming Sambuca sweats. Aside from a near-anaphylactic reaction to that man who hovers round the lectern like a wasp on a jelly, I hate that the whole thing is so twee and forced. I am not a fan of First Dates, which tends to surprise people given much of my shtick has been writing about dating. The closest I could get to being on First Dates – without making a fool of myself on television.

Read what happens on the date in full on the Guardian website, before returning here for leftovers.

As for ‘senior finance analyst’, I have no idea what that means but I’m sure it’s tonnes of fun.

Just make up the celebrity gossip, they won’t care. Either way, as I learned myself when I ‘worked in television’ a number of years ago, it’s a great way to get people to talk to you at parties. ‘Works in television.’ Could be anything couldn’t it, from opening Holly Willoughby’s post (wear gloves, Katie!) to sitting on the top floor of the executive suite and slashing the hair lacquer budget for Loose Women. Composite: Sophia Evans/Andy Hall for The Guardian Behold Katie, 29, who works in television, and Will, 35, a senior finance analyst. Well, we could – a lot more – but this is where we are so let’s meet them. This week, we have two nice people who say nice things about each other after a nice dinner and I suppose we can’t ask for much more than that. I mean, I’m still a bitch I just smile while I’m doing it now. As exciting as it is to feel the adrenaline surge from having just verbally annihilated everyone in a ten-mile radius (but only if they deserve it), I must admit that the feeling of being nice to someone is much more satisfying.
