Blind date: 'She tried to tackle politics but I was afraid she was more left-wing'

Mariana on Oliver

What did you expect? Not to ridicule me, like everyone else I know (and have been out) reads the Guardian.

First impressions? It was fashionable early, which is always a good sign.

What did you talk about?How London is the best city in the world.The greatness of Abba.The oil companies and the cost of living (anyone else talking?)How are we both at the same Ezra Collective gig.

Most awkward moment? It was never awkward and we had the gig to discuss. But I don't think there had a lot of back and forth.

Table manners? There was a lot of rice on the table q when we're done - which I think is a sign of a good meal (or a small table).

The best thing about Oliver? He's keen to make the most of life in London.

Would you introduce Oliver to your friends? I think my friends' energy might scare him a little.

Describe Oliver in three words. Friendly, punctual, greedy.

What do you think he made you? That I'm too obsessed with East London.

Are you going anywhere? No.

And... did you kiss? No.

If you could change one thing about evening, what would it be? I would have ordered dessert. Also a bit more banter.

Grades out of 10? I think everyone always deserves a gold star - that's why I could never be a teacher!

Would you guys meet again? We'll probably bump into each other at this gig, but I don't think there's a spark between us.
