Skylar on Emmy

What were you hoping for?

To get to know someone new and maybe find some romance...

First impressions?

We’d actually met in freshers week, but regardless, they looked significantly cooler and more date-appropriately dressed than me

What did you talk about?

Poetry, types of cells, doctors and room decor

Any awkward moments?

Both arriving 20 minutes late, one from trying to print overdue supo work, one from walking in the entirely wrong direction. At least we were late together <3

Best thing about the other person?

They have lots of really cool things to say about interesting niche topics. And a pretty amazing pair of doc martens, of course

Did you go on somewhere?

To Christ’s Pieces, then back to hall

What do you think the other person made of you?

Passable at conversation, not at time management

Would you meet again?

Given we live 4 floors apart, I’d assume so

Emmy on Skylar

What were you hoping for ?

To meet someone new who I got along with and maybe find some romance

First impressions?

By the time of the date it was closer to tenth impression but they seemed really cool and had awesome boots

What did you talk about?

A whole variety of topics ranging from poetry to awful sci-fi opinions

Any awkward moments?

We were both pretty late and I thought that wouldn’t be a great first date impression, but we still managed to get there within a minute of each other so maybe it was a better omen than first anticipated

Best thing about the other person?

They’re really funny and easy to talk to about pretty much any topic. Also, they didn’t laugh too hard when I spilt my coffee from gesturing wildly

Did you go on somewhere?

We went to Christ’s Pieces after grabbing coffee and sat and chatted for a while, then ran back to college together to grab dinner and avoid the oncoming rain clouds

What do you think the other person made of you?

Really bad with directions and coordination but hopefully made up for it with stellar conversation and a cool jacket

Would you meet again?

Seeing as we’ve run into each other in the hallway at least three times since the date, I think we’d have to actively avoid each other not to. But all jokes aside they’re pretty cool, yeah

Skylar and Emmy met at The Locker Cafe, King Street. You, too, could soon be running into your date in the hallways several times a day — are you up for a mystery meeting? Fill out the Varsity Blind Dates form...
