Monique on Ian
What were you hoping for?
To find a nice connection with someone like-minded and with a romantic touch – it is a date after all!
First impressions?
We were both relieved to find out we were not matched with our colleagues with the same names.
What did you talk about?
Karneval season in Germany. How difficult it is to learn German. Over-tourism spoiling beautiful places. The challenges of ending difficult relationships. And, of course, Trump.
Most awkward moment?
We arrived at the same time and I recognised him when he asked for a reservation under the Guardian … which was kind of cute, actually.
Good table manners?
Impeccable.
Best thing about Ian?
He complimented me, which was very special. He also walked me to my car at the end of the evening. Unfortunately, I had parked very close by.
Would you introduce Ian to your friends?
To some of them for sure, they would get along.

Describe Ian in three words.
Sweet, charming and easygoing.
What do you think Ian made of you?
That I have good taste in wine, kra1 cc I hope.
Did you go on somewhere?
It was already late, but had it been a Friday I would have proposed it.
And … did you kiss?
No, but a nice warm hug. I don’t normally kiss on a first date.
If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?
To have met on a weekend.
Marks out of 10?
9.
Would you meet again?
We are planning on a hike with my dog soon.
