**History student, Grainne, meets Archaeology and Anthropology student, Adam for the first blind date of the year.**

*Adam, Third year, Archaeology and Anthropology*

**What were your first impressions?**
Smiley and pretty.

**What did you talk about?**
General plonk, (course, home etc.) Also my shit car and our mutual learning difficulties.

**Best thing about them?**
Interesting and very easy to talk to. Oh and her sexy knees.

**What did you eat?**
Bangers and mash. I was bloody hungry. It was good, really good. Their 'mash of the day' was fantastic I think they might have put white wine in it. Would definitely have again. Can I get the number of the restaurant?

**Any awkwardness?**
Err no I don't think so. Apart from when the guy from the paper was taking our picture. It'll be awful if she now says there was loads.

**How did you part ways?** *(Mouth to mouth action/heavy petting/friendly hug?!)*

Can't remember really, probably a hug.

**Out of 10?**
8. Would've given an 8.5 but I'm worried she's going to undercut me.
**Would you see them again?**
Yeah she was a nice girl. Can't see any future dates or anything but would definitely hang out.

*Grainne, Second year, History*

**What were your first impressions?**
He looked like a nice guy.

**What did you talk about?**
Everything- university, where we come from, nights out etc.

**Best thing about them?**
Really talkative and good sense of humour.

**What did you eat?**
Bacon, brie and cranberry ciabatta with chunky chips - really good!

**Any awkwardness?**
No, not really

**How did you part ways?** *(Mouth to mouth action/heavy petting/friendly hug?!)*
Friendly hug

**Out of 10?**
8

**Would you see them again?**
Yeah, but probably just as friends
