Florrie on James
What were you hoping for?
To meet Prince Charming, be rescued from my loveless life and live happily ever after. I grew up on fairytales.
First impressions?
Friendly, handsome and familiar – we realised we had mixed in the same circles a few decades ago.
What did you talk about?
Snoop Dogg, kinesiology, exes, addiction and recovery, the 90s and the 00s, Ibiza – and we sang together.
Any awkward moments?
I felt bashful when I discovered James applied to Blind Date only last week. I’ve been applying regularly since 2015!
Good table manners?
I wasn’t particularly interested in eating as the chat was so engaging.
How long did you stay on the call?
Nearly four hours – and we probably could have chewed the fat for many more. But I had scheduled a call with my best friend so I could dish the dirt.
Best thing about James?
He is so open and honest, thus a very great conversationalist.
Describe James in three words
Attractive, curious, kind.
Would you introduce him to your friends?
The ones he doesn’t know already.
What do you think he made of you?
Hopefully kind, funny, intelligent and beguiling, albeit a little blurry due to the video streaming quality.
Any connection issues?
James was cut off a couple of times due to his wifi coverage.
And… did you swap numbers?
Yes, and followed each other on Instagram.
How did the call end?
We said goodbye on the fourth try.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
That we had met in person and seen where the whole night led us.
Marks out of 10?
9.
Would you meet again in person?Yes, absolutely, if he comes to London before he returns to LA.
James on Florrie
What were you hoping for?
Someone who’d have an amazing soul, an interesting mind and be really attractive.
First impressions?
I got all of the above. No question.
What did you talk about?
So many things. The craziest thing was how much we had in common and how many mutual people we knew. How she loves being an aunt, how I love being a father.
Any awkward moments?
When I realisedthe food I’d ordered had to be collected, so I had to run into town and come back. She couldn’t have been nicer about it.
Good table manners?
We just ate while we talked.
How long did you stay on the call?
Almost four hours.
Best thing about Florrie?
Her sense of humour, her passion for life, her gentle soul, her voice, her eyes, her interior design, her way of seeing the world, how fascinating she is to listen and talk to.
Describe Florrie in three words
Gorgeous, intelligent, hilarious.
Would you introduce her to your friends?
With so much pleasure.
What do you think she made of you?
I hope good things. It felt that way.
Any connection issues?
At one point the sound played up.
And… did you swap numbers?
Yes, really early on.
How did the call end?
She had to sign off for a call with a friend who has recently moved and needs support.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
That I could have been with her. For a week!
Marks out of 10?
9.
Would you meet again in person?
I hope we do. I think she’s amazing.
