When you first saw Justine, what struck you about her? Her broad smile, she seemed amicable and friendly.

How do you think Justine found you? I’d like to think she found me polite, a good fun date, easy-going and devilishly handsome!

Before the date, did you have any expectations of your date with Justine – what were you hoping for? I was pretty relaxed, I was hoping for a good time.

Tell us about your conversation – what did you talk about with Justine? It would be fair to say that the conversation rolled out to cover the usual subjects areas of most first dates; occupation, family, hobbies, education, social life, music, shameful disco dancing plus, of course, the date itself and the posing for mugshots! 

Justine is…  Amiable. Confident. Educated. Mother.

After Poco, did you go on somewhere else? Yes. We went to the Love Inn for a drink and a chat after lunch.

Would you meet again? I’d certainly say hi if I were to bump into her again.

If you had to give Justine a mark out of 10, what would you give her? I’d say a seven – I spent an enjoyable couple of hours with her.
