Blind date

Will there be chemistry when Grace Lee, 25, a scientist, meets Adam Carroll-Smith, 26, a journalist

Grace on Adam

First impressions? Boxers over trousers? So 80s. The eye patch was really charming, though.
What did you talk about? Cannibalism, Charlie Brooker (we're not worthy!) and Mark Ronson's ridiculous accent. Oh, and Fearne Cotton ? why is she on the radio?
Any awkward moments? There was a long silence after I revealed I ate shepherd's pie in bed once. I mean, honestly, who doesn't like consuming meat under the duvet?
Good table manners? Fantastical and wondrous all rolled up into a giant danish of fun.
Best thing about him? Standup comedy adventures and rocking a snood? Daring, and well deserving of mad props.
Did you go on somewhere? Did we ever. Thankfully, there was a dense crowd of shrubbery right outside the restaurant.
Marks out of 10? Definitely a hefty few.
Would you meet again? As long as it's less than five miles from the coast. Any coast.

Adam on Grace

First impressions? Well-dressed, smiley.
What did you talk about? We spent most of the time trying to remember the name of one of the little gangsters from The Wire who got shot, which was a lot more fun than it sounds. It was Bodie, in case you were wondering.
Any awkward moments? Well, she was a bit late, but it didn't bother me.
Good table manners? Eating her beef wellington with her hands, shouting, "Yo, waiter!" and drinking her wine through a curly straw aside, yes, excellent. We agreed to crack a few gags during these answers. I hope she keeps up her end of the bargain.
Best thing about her? Great conversationalist.
Did you go on somewhere? No, my best friend's fiancee was giving birth, so I had to dash off.
Marks out of 10? Eight.
Would you meet again? As friends.

? Grace and Adam ate at The Penny Black, London SW10. Fancy a blind date? Email: blind.date@guardian.co.uk
