Henry and Sarah went on a blind date in Manchester. Henry was impressed by Sarah's adventurous spirit and spicy margarita, while Sarah found Henry warm and welcoming despite her sweaty arrival. They discussed marathons and life, but both agreed it was more of a friendly encounter with no romantic spark, leading to differing views on a second meeting.
Henry and Sarah met for a blind date at Namii in Manchester. Henry, hoping for a fun and easy-going evening, was immediately charmed by Sarah's smile and her order of a spicy margarita. He described her as ambitious, outgoing, and fearless, admiring her commitment to an adventurous life. Their conversation flowed easily, covering topics from marathon running and weddings to Dolly Alderton and Sarah's job interview. Henry's only awkward moment involved dribbling prawn cracker, while he praised Sarah's impeccable chopstick skills. He rated the date a 7/10 and expressed a desire to meet again, perhaps on a half marathon start line, despite the 'miserable Monday' setting. Sarah, on the other hand, had hoped for a potential wedding plus-one and for her dad to see her in the paper. She found Henry to be friendly, super welcoming, warm, intriguing, and relatable, appreciating his positive outlook on life. Her most awkward moment was arriving incredibly sweaty from power walking. They talked about travelling, Glastonbury, families, DJ’ing, writing, running marathons, and hero rats. While she managed to teach Henry how to use chopsticks, she questioned the possibility of eating chicken wings gracefully. Sarah gave the date an 8/10 but ultimately felt there was no romantic spark, describing it as 'very friendly' and unlikely to lead to another date, wishing it hadn't been on a Monday evening before a job interview. Both agreed to a quick extra drink afterwards, but no kiss occurred.
