These city kids ditched Tinder and let us play matchmaker. Here’s a blow-by-blow of their blind date
Our daters had a meal at Wolfgang's Steakhouse
Persephone: “He’s quite cute. I liked that he put in effort and gelled his hair. He pulled out the chair for me at the restaurant – I was very impressed.”
Sam: “I thought she was quite hot and had an interesting dress sense. She seemed like a cool girl.”
Persephone: “We had a great conversation and I appreciate that he was very candid. I liked that he is a family-oriented person.”
Sam: “She’s very cultured and knows a lot more than me! She likes history and we bonded by talking about World War II.”
Persephone: “He came straight from work and didn’t do well with Small talk. But after he got over his nerves, things were okay.”
Sam: “It’s my first time on a blind date. I was nervous so it took me a while to open up. But she’s a good conversationalist so I felt more comfortable easily.”
Persephone: “After dinner, we took a scenic stroll through the Boat Quay to the MRT station. He took a longer route home so we could continue talking.”
Sam: “We discovered that we both love chocolate so we stayed on longer at the restaurant and ordered thechocolate mousse. We took the MRT back together after.”
Persephone: ♥♥♥♥ “He was very sweet and polite. I wouldn’t mind meeting him again.”
Sam: ♥♥♥♥ “I was looking to meet someone I could talk to and this turned out great. We’re meeting up again this weekend!”

The food
“I really enjoyed the filet mignon bit of the porterhouse steak and the chocolate mousse we had for dessert.” – Persephone
The drinks
“I had a cabernet sauvignon instead of my usual merlot because it pairs better with the steak.” – Persephone
