Henry and Sarah went on a blind date in Manchester, discussing everything from marathons to abattoir jobs. Despite a friendly evening with a few awkward moments, neither felt a romantic spark, concluding it was more of a 'friends vibe'.
Henry and Sarah met for a blind date at Namii in Manchester. Henry hoped for a fun, easy-going evening, while Sarah was looking for a plus-one to a wedding and for her dad to see her in the paper. Henry's first impression of Sarah was her smiley demeanor and spicy margarita, leading him to believe they were 'in for a fun one.' He described her as ambitious, outgoing, and fearless, admiring her commitment to an adventurous life and her loyalty. Sarah found Henry friendly and welcoming, appreciating his positive outlook and describing him as warm, intriguing, and relatable. Their conversation covered a wide range of topics, including marathon running, weddings, babies, Dolly Alderton, Henry's degree, Sarah's job interview, travelling, Glastonbury, families, DJ'ing, writing, and 'hero rats.' Awkward moments included Henry dribbling prawn cracker shards and Sarah arriving 'incredibly sweaty' from power walking. Sarah even taught Henry how to use chopsticks. Both agreed there was no romantic spark, with Sarah stating it was 'very much friends vibes' and no kiss. They both went for one more quick drink afterward. Henry gave the date a 'solid seven,' while Sarah rated it an '8.' Both wished the date hadn't been on a 'miserable Monday' due to job interviews or just the general vibe of the day. Henry thought they might meet again on a half marathon start line, but Sarah concluded they probably wouldn't meet again romantically.
