**Will things turn out all Rosie for this social sciences couple? Or will he Rob her heart on this week's blind date?**

*Rob, Accounting and Finance (and BA Econ Society President!), Third year*

**What were you first impressions?**

Friendly and nice smile

**What did you talk about?**

A whole bunch of stuff: travels, good nights out in Manchester, the embarrasement of going the wrong way to find the loo, and working out how we could get a Wills & Kate calendar off the crazy beardy quiz guy

**Best thing about them?**

Really easy to have a chat with almost like we had known each other

**What did you eat?**

As it was paid for, obviously the most expensive thing! Steak with a brownie for dessert

**Any awkwardness?**

Managed to catch my drink after nearly knocking it out of my hand....though, I hope she didn't write anything here!?

**How did you part ways?**

Did the standard gentleman approach by waiting at the bus stop until the Magic Bus came..glamorous but there was a casual hug at the end

**Out of 10?**

8

**Would you see them again?**

Hope to see her around

*Rosie, Politics and Modern History, Second year*

**What were your first impressions?**

Oh, that's not the photographer then.

**What did you talk about?**

Everything, where we wanted to go travelling but hadn't, what we wanted to do in Manchester but hadn't. His penchant for fancy dress and our mutual appreciation of BOP. Families and what it's like to grow up in the middle of nowhere and how we both clearly need to improve our geography as we had no idea where the others home town was.

**Best thing about them?**

He was so easy to talk to, and his being comfortable made me much more comfortable which definitely helped. He also stole a wagon wheel and didn't judge me for drinking a pint.

**What did you eat?**

We both ordered the most expensive thing on the menu- steak salad, and a massive sundae I couldn't finish.

**Any awkwardness?**

I don't think so; I went the wrong way to the toilet which was vaguely embarrassing.

**How did you part ways?**

Classic hug.

**Out of 10?**

8

**Would you see them again?**

Probably will, in BOP, or one of the millions of places we convinced ourselves we'd actually go to this year.

Rob and Rosie ate at The Deaf Institute, Grosvenor Street, Manchester. Visit their website ***www.thedeafinstitute.co.uk*** to check out their menu, gig listings and have a look at what club nights are coming up.
