He was very open about liking me... we kissed at the station
JO, 27 VITAL STATISTICS
SINGLE for a year.
CURRENT ROLE
PERSONAL trainer.
WOULD LIKE TO MEET
AN INDEPENDENT man with lots of energy. I’m not attracted to mummy’s boys who expect a woman to do all the work.
DATING PAST?
My friends and i were into chasing boys from a young age, so i had a few boyfriends in my teens. since then, i’ve had a four-year relationship and one that lasted a year where we lived together.
PRE-DATE NERVES?
no, i love meeting people so wasn’t a bit nervous. i wore a tight, green, long-sleeved dress that showed off my curves and boots that made me feel confident.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS?
i was pleasantly surprised, he was so good-looking with a warm smile and nice eyes. i slid into the chair opposite him and we just began chatting.
EASY TO TALK TO?
Terrell and i seem to have a lot in common: we’re both into health and fitness, and neither of us drink. we even both dream of driving a BMw. He’s ambitious and i enjoyed hearing about his work (he’s a personal trainer, too). But he asked me plenty of questions, and showed interest in my answers. we laughed a lot, but it wasn’t just banter — there were deeper conversations and we both seemed to feel comfortable enough to be open and honest about our lives.
EMBARRASSING MOMENTS?
no, i’M glad to say.
DID SPARKS FLY?
yes, we were both openly flirting — there was lots of eye contact and small touches on the arm. Terrell was open and confident about complimenting me on my appearance, too, which i liked. He said i looked fit and had a nice smile. we were actively trying to find connections and things in common which is a great sign. we swapped instagram details early on, and showed each other our fitness videos. it all felt very natural. we decided to walk off our dinner in the nearby park and then carried on to the station, where we shared a kiss.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET AGAIN?
yes, i would. we’re in touch and i’m going to come down to london so we can see each other. Hopefully next time we can plan something fun like bowling, so i can beat him.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HE THOUGHT OF YOU?
He was open about the fact he liked me. He seemed happy with the date and keen to see me again.
WOULD YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS LIKE HIM?
yes, absolutely; he’s friendly and so easy to get on with.
