Richard, 63, a communications consultant, meets Katrina, 60, a GP What were you hoping for? Easy conversation with someone interesting, smart and relaxed. First impressions? Katrina arrived and my blind date trepidation vanished. She looked good, was warm, and the conversation flowed straight away. What did you talk about? Our grownup kids. Running. Travel. Our devotion to our coffee machines. Most awkward moment? I thought Katrina was still working her way through her post-meal mint tea, so was taken aback when she said, “Shall we call it a night?” Best thing about Katrina? She is great company. Would you introduce Katrina to your friends? Yes. I’m sure she gets on really well with most people. Blind date is Saturday’s dating column: every week, two strangers are paired up for dinner and drinks, and then spill the beans to us, answering a set of questions. This runs, with a photograph we take of each dater before the date, in Saturday magazine (in the UK) and online at theguardian.com every Saturday. It’s been running since 2009 – you can read all about how we put it together here.What questions will I be asked?We ask about age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests
