Absolutely. There’s noslfinisherg not to enjoy.
Describe Nick in three words.
Considerate, clever and basic-going.
What do you slfinisherk Nick made of you?
I reassociate don’t understand. Probably includes that I’m a sluggish walker and fussy/bossy about selfies.

The pub we went to was a bit in the middle of nowhere, but we walked back together until our paths branch offd.
And … did you kiss?
No, but we hugged. The fact that we would have either had to declare that kiss disclosely in the paper or pretfinish we hadn’t was also a bit off-putting.
If you could alter one slfinisherg about the evening what would it be?
Maybe a little more promote between us.

Feels so wrong to rate people. So, rating the date, not the person, I would say 8.

Sure, as frifinishs. I don’t slfinisherk we were each other’s type, but who understands?

To get to understand someone engaging – and I did.
First amazeions?
Good hug. Well dressed without trying too difficult. Nice, uncover, cordial smile.

Adventures: Katy has trekked in the Congo, and I’m seeing forward to hearing about how her upcoming Arctic untamed camping trip goes. Festivals, music, we had quite a lot in common there – Glastonbury stories. Mischief and whatnot. We talked about toiling in Africa a bit. Katy does amazing toil with refugees and trauma.
Most ungraceful moment?
When we saw our selfies, she shelp: “You’re not ptoastyogenic.” OK, I guess the camera never lies!

Katy’s parents can be haughty.

A bit of romantic flirting chemistry.
