Zak on Mimi
What were you hoping for?
A pleasant Sunday, and maybe a long-term partner.
First impressions?
Quite tall and a nice smile.
What did you talk about?
Lush (the shop), key lime pie with baked beans, glitter.
Any awkward moments?
I didn’t feel any.
Good table manners?
I used the wrong fork for the starter and dropped my knife. Hers were brilliant.
Best thing about Mimi?
She has a great laugh.
Would you introduce her to your friends?
Absolutely.
Describe Mimi in three words
Charismatic, energetic, fast-eater (which is great).
What do you think she made of you?
Glitter-obsessed.
Did you go on somewhere?
Nope, I went to Lush because it was nearly closing time.
And... did you kiss?
Only on the cheek.
If you could change one thing about the date, what would it be?
I probably should have asked more questions.
Marks out of 10?
7.5.
Would you meet again?
I’d like to: we exchanged phone numbers.
Mimi on Zak

Very smart, good-looking, a lot of piercings.

His love of Lush, glitter and food: some of his combos were a bit strange.

Good table manners?
They were OK. I was looking at his food a lot – I had food envy.

Maybe.

Smart, eccentric, arty.
What do you think he made of you?
He might have thought I have a weird, very loud laugh.

No.
And... did you kiss?
No.
If you could change one thing about the date, what would it be?
I’d have had the food he had. And talked less about Lush.

No, I don’t think so – there wasn’t much of a spark.
