These city kids ditched Tinder and let us play matchmaker. Here’s a blow-by-blow account of their blind date...
Our daters had a meal at Kinou.
Bee: “Jeremy seems like the good-boy type.”
Jeremy: “She seems very cool, hip and trendy, especially with the way she styled and dyed her hair.”
Chemistry
Bee: “There wasn’t really any chemistry.”
Jeremy: “There was definitely a connection due to our intellectual interests in the creative arts and our similar sense of humour.”
Bee: “We had to be reminded by Ben (the owner of Kinou) to savour the food before it turns cold because he was talking so much.”
Jeremy: “The closest I can think of is when we got so distracted with eating the delicious dishes, but those were moments of mutual silent content.”
Afterwards
Bee: “We went back home afterwards, couldn’t do much on a weekday!”
Jeremy: “We ended up talking until around 10.15pm and continued chatting during our walk to the MRT station where we exchanged phone numbers.”
Bee: ♥♥ “He talked a lot but didn’t ask much about me during the date but he’s knowledgeable in arts and mythology.”
Jeremy: ♥♥♥♥ “I had a fun time! I could’ve laughed and talked about many things with Bee. It would be nice to get to know each other more.”
The atmosphere
“Kinou felt really homely and Ben and the staff are friendly and approachable.”– Bee
