Daniel's Blind Date: A Night to Remember Despite Initial Jitters
The British man in question, Daniel, revealed that his nerves were palpable during the first five minutes of their hotpot dinner date. "I was sweating quite a lot for the first five minutes," he candidly admitted. However, as they delved deeper into conversation, their shared interests and humor began to shine through.
Daniel and Isla, an Australian native, bonded over their love of tiramisu, British and Australian comedy shows, and even lido swimming. Their side gigs – Daniel runs pub quizzes, while Isla DJs – also sparked lively discussions.
While they didn't go on a proper outing during the date, they did embark on a 'journey' home together, which Daniel described as "a nice little adventure."
As for physical affection, there was no kiss, but they shared a warm hug at the train station when Daniel's stop was reached.
Reflecting on their experience, Daniel mentioned that table manners took a backseat during their hotpot meal. However, he noted that it didn't ruin the evening in any way.
Daniel and Isla described each other in three words: "Friendly, humble, hardworking" for him, and "chatty, good appetite."
Despite having met through an arranged blind date, Daniel expressed his desire to meet Isla again, citing a shared interest in debriefing about their experience over a drink.
For the record, Daniel gave their evening 7.5 out of 10, while Isla scored it 8.

... I mean, who sweats that much on a blind date? 
But hey, they somehow managed to turn that around and have a decent time 
. Shared interests are always a plus, but what's with the lack of actual fun stuff like going out or getting food after dinner? 
Just a train ride home to wrap things up? 
Guess it's not all bad, though – they do seem friendly and humble (and apparently have good appetites). Maybe they'll grab that drink and debrief soon 
️. A 7.5 out of 10 for Daniel, eh? 
.
and table manners just kinda disappear after a hotpot meal lol, that's so true for me when i'm out with friends 
... anyway, i love how they still had fun despite being a bit awkward at first 
and it's so sweet that they shared a warm hug at the train station 
. 7.5 or 8 tho? which one do you think was more into it? 
. I mean, who needs a kiss when you've got a good conversation and a nice hug at the train station? 
. And hey, it's not like they even had any major disasters or awkward moments, which is always a bonus 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good hotpot dinner and a little adventure? 
Daniel and Isla seemed to really connect over their shared interests and values, which is what makes a great blind date, right? 
Even though they didn't end up kissing or anything, that warm hug at the train station was super sweet 
. And 7.5 out of 10 vs 8, sounds like a pretty even split to me 
. Daniel's nervousness at first is pretty relatable, but it sounds like he was definitely enjoying himself by the end of the night 
. I mean, it's not like they were strangers or anything... just a blind date 
. Anyway, Daniel's rating seems pretty lukewarm to me - 7.5 out of 10? That's, like, totally vague 
. And honestly, their shared interests sound kinda generic 
. But hey, at least they had a "nice little adventure" home together 
. table manners took a backseat btw...who needs manners when u got chemistry? 
Daniel seems like a chill guy, but I'm not sure if the 'journey' home thing was really an adventure or just a way to get some fresh air after dinner 
and lido swimming 
?! their energy and vibes 
must've been super positive to turn an initial nervousness into a "nice little adventure" 
and sharing their passions 
i mean, 7.5/10 for daniel and 8 for isla are pretty decent ratings if u ask me 
. What do you guys think about arranged blind dates - do they work out in the end?
