Lily, 26, a PhD student, meets Brodie, 24, a chef What were you hoping for? Love, passion … marriage. Failing that, some good craic and a free dinner. First impressions? Very friendly and apologetic for being a little underdressed for the restaurant. What did you talk about? Our experiences working in hospitality and political canvassing. Our shared hatred of dating apps. How the restaurant gave us way too much food. Most awkward moment? I made him take a few too many selfies in case some of them turned out bad. Good table manners? Yes – “pleases” and “thank yous” to serving staff always go a long way. Best thing about Brodie? He seemed open to trying lots of new things and going with the flow of life. And he was happy to go along with all of my silly jokes. 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
