Andrew, 24, an investment analyst, and Alex, 23, an artist, met on a blind date that combined good conversation, unique tastes, and a memorable evening out.
Andrew’s Take on Alex
Andrew’s main hope for the night was simple — to finally get Ridin’ Solo off his Spotify Wrapped playlist. When he saw Alex arrive, he was immediately impressed by her style: a cool leather jacket and effortless vibe that set the tone for the evening.
Their conversation was wide-ranging and lively. Alex shared stories from some star-studded parties she’d recently attended, adding a glamorous touch to the chat. Andrew found himself drawn to her creativity and energy.
The date was smooth from start to finish — awkward moments were almost non-existent, and their manners at the table were impeccable.
One highlight? Discovering that Alex plays the trumpet in a band, which Andrew thought was seriously impressive and added to her cool factor.
When asked if he’d introduce Alex to his friends, Andrew was certain she’d fit right in. For him, she was funny, talented, and attractive — a triple threat.
Did they continue the night? Absolutely. Alex took Andrew to a quirky garlic-themed bar, and he loved every second of it, especially the garlic-infused cocktails and atmosphere.
No kisses were exchanged, but Andrew was hopeful for what might come next.
The only downside? Andrew’s chair was uncomfortably hard, but that didn’t spoil the fun.
Rating the evening, Andrew gave a solid 9 out of 10. And when asked if he’d meet again, he smiled: “A boy can dream.”
Alex’s Perspective on Andrew
Alex arrived with hopes of finding love in a “hopeless place,” but instead found a charming, polite guy who made her feel at ease from the start.
Their conversation ranged from skiing adventures and tales of past relationships to a quirky discussion about Charles II and the restoration of the monarchy — with plenty of imaginative ideas about what they’d do if they were king.
Alex felt no awkward moments during the night, even joking that Andrew’s table manners were “too good” compared to her own.
What stood out to her was Andrew’s zest for life and openness, as well as their matching tastes — especially in what they ordered and drank, which made the evening feel even more connected.
Would she introduce Andrew to her friends? Definitely. She suspected some mutual friends might already exist, which made the connection feel even more promising.
When asked to sum him up, Alex chose “cute, kind, charismatic.”
The date continued at Garlic & Shots — a garlic-themed bar that became the night’s highlight, complete with their signature “blood shot” cocktails.
No kisses this time, but Alex was open to the possibility next time.
If she could change anything about the night, it would be to have more food and wine — but otherwise, she described the evening as wonderful.
She gave the date a 9 out of 10 and said she’d definitely be up for meeting again. “I reckon we might,” she said with a smile.
Final Thoughts
Andrew and Alex’s blind date was a perfect mix of humor, genuine connection, and unique experiences — from tales of royal history to sipping garlic-infused drinks. While romance is still in the air, both agree it was a night to remember, and a first step toward something exciting.
