PHD student Miriam, 38, felt Chris was '土台を崩すing my 知識人 業績/成就s'
Dating Past
My most 最近の 関係s were both long-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語 ― one for over six years and another for five. I took on a lot of the 激しい 解除するing with my last partner. Men now seem to look for 採択 rather than a partner.
Pre-Date 神経s?
Yes, I’m a bit shy and was 会合 someone who sounded way cooler than me on his profile. He’s in a 禁止(する)d. Mum was keen to go through her dresses. She’s 74, but looks young for her age and buys beautiful 着せる/賦与するs, 反して I tend to go for charity shops. For once, I wore one of my own dresses.
First Impressions?
Chris had a red shirt on, and it struck me he’d made an 成果/努力. I didn’t find him attractive すぐに. We did that ぎこちない British thing of not knowing whether to 抱擁する or shake 手渡すs so bumped into one another. Chris said he’d 調印するd up for a blind date ‘because why not’, which didn’t make me feel very special.
平易な To Talk To?
I told Chris my PHD was on AI and he replied, ‘Oh that’s topical, isn’t it?’ Er ? yes. I had already told him I was 熟考する/考慮するing for a PHD, but he ‘forgot’ and referred to it as a Masters. He also made a 言及/関連 to me ‘learning’ Welsh r ather than ‘speaking’ it. I felt that he was 土台を崩すing my 知識人 業績/成就s, which I didn’t like. I was amazed he had also started a Masters in Psychotherapy, because he isn’t very self-aware. It made sense when he 認める he didn’t finish the course.
Embarrassing Moments?
I don’t think so, which is good because I’m 普通は clumsy.
Did 誘発するs 飛行機で行く?
No, if I like someone I get nervous and giggly, and there was no chance of that with Chris. There was no flirting on either 味方する.
!['There was no flirting on either side,' said Miriam](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/04/24/12/84028023-13344467-_There_was_no_flirting_on_either_side_said_Miriam_of_her_date_wi-m-22_1713956707536.jpg)
'There was no flirting on either 味方する,' said Miriam
See him again?
No, we were together for two hours and we left when I said I had to catch my train 支援する to むちの跡s. We didn’t 交換(する) numbers.
What do you think he thought of you?
Chris didn’t engage with me at a ll, so I didn’t leave the date feeling good about myself.
Would your parents like him?
NO I don’t think so. My parents want to see me with someone supportive of my goals.
MIRIAM’S VERDICT: 3/10
LIKED? We 株d food.
REGRETS? No, it’s good to go outside my 慰安 zone.
COFFEE OR CAB? Cab.

Chris says of his date: 'While it felt like we were on the same wavelength, there was no physical attraction'
Dating Past
I 分裂(する) from my wife of four years just over ten years ago. Since then, I’ve been 伴う/関わるd in a couple of shorter 関係s but nothing recently. I’m the youngest of three boys and it’s just me who is 選び出す/独身 now. I am keen to settle 負かす/撃墜する.
Pre-Date 神経s?
A little bit but nothing to worry about. I know I have good people 技術s.
First Impressions?
肯定的な - I got a good friendly vibe from Miriam. She’s got dark hair and is 公正に/かなり わずかな/ほっそりした. I 設立する her attractive, although there wasn’t any 即座の ‘electricity’. I gave her a 抱擁する and pulled her 議長,司会を務める out for her to sit 負かす/撃墜する. She struck me as a very engaging woman.
平易な To Talk To?
!['I’m the youngest of three boys and it’s just me who is single now,' says Chris. 'I am keen to settle down'](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/04/24/12/84028015-13344467-image-m-25_1713958343900.jpg)
'I’m the youngest of three boys and it’s just me who is 選び出す/独身 now,' says Chris. 'I am keen to settle 負かす/撃墜する'
The small talk was unusual. We covered Miriam learning the Welsh language, which I 設立する fascinating. I was impressed with her 熟考する/考慮するs, too. I think it’s something to do with AI? It’s beyond my level of understanding. She did live in Mexico in between all those years 熟考する/考慮するing with her nose in a 調書をとる/予約する.?Miriam asked me about my 禁止(する)d, and I explained that I play keyboard and sing 支援 声のs.
Embarrassing Moments?
No. Miriam did 減少(する) her cutlery at one point, but that wasn’t embarrassing.
Did 誘発するs 飛行機で行く?
I would say no, not in the sense of romance. While it felt like we were on the same wavelength, there was no physical attraction. Afterwards I realised I should have complimented her on her looks. But I didn’t, and I put that 負かす/撃墜する to Miriam 存在 so talkative.
See her again?
No, you need a 誘発する. If there had been obvious 調印するs she liked me, then perhaps I would have 追求するd things, but they weren’t there. We didn’t 交換(する) numbers and just had a friendly 抱擁する.
What do you think she thought of you?
I’d guess she would say that I was 平易な to talk to because we spent two hours together and the conversation didn’t stop.
Would your friends like her?
Yes, Miriam is v ery grounded with her 長,率いる screwed on. She’s got good values, too.
CHRIS’S VERDICT: 8/10
LIKED? Miriam is talkative.
REGRETS? Not really, no.
COFFEE OR CAB? Coffee.
