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 Bar Cicheti.
Fiona: “The restaurant was dim so I thought I was on a date with a Malay guy. I was like 'oh, that's interesting'.”
Jaden: “I didn't expect her to be an extrovert. But when I started talking to her, she was very willing to open up.”
Fiona: “He's nice and easy to talk to. We had things in common, so we talked about hiking and our school days. But there wasn't a spark.”
Jaden: “It's quite hard to tell because we only spent a few hours together. I'll probably just go with the flow and let nature take its course.”
Fiona: “The conversation was easy so there wasn't an awkward moment. Maybe just short pauses when we were eating or checking our phones.”
Jaden: “There wasn't much. We had an endless conversation, one topic would lead to another, so we didn't have any awkward silence.”
Fiona: “We exchanged numbers. We also went for drinks after dinner and took the train back together.”
Jaden: “We went to a nearby pub to have a drink and we went home after that. We exchanged contacts and are still talking to each other.”
Fiona: ♥♥♥♥ “It was a good night. The conversation was interesting and dinner was great. We can still be friends and see how things go.”
Jaden: ♥♥♥♥ “We had a lot of common topics to talk about and we were both able to relate to one another.”
The atmosphere
“It's very cosy and chill, and the décor was nice. The staff were attentive and informative too.” – Fiona

The drinks
“We ordered the red wine. It was good because the taste and aroma were strong.” – Jaden
