DEBBIE, 36
VITAL STATISTICS
SINGLE for two years, no children. CURRENT ROLE
PERFORMING artist and event manager. WOULD LIKE TO MEET
A BUBBLY alpha male. I’m quite focused on looks, and I’d rather he had no kids.
DATING PAST?
I’ve never found someone who ticks all the boxes. I have lived with two men, but I’ve never been on an active hunt for a partner. And I don’t have a biological clock ticking as I don’t want children. I had my last fling while working in Ibiza in 2016.
PRE-DATE NERVES?
I Am used to being thrown in at the deep end at work, so I don’t get nervous.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS?
I ArrIved first, and on time, at the vegan restaurant equador had chosen. He was a little late, but he’d let me know he would be.
I have a boho chic fashion sense and was intrigued by equador’s long hair, beard and purple suit. We were quite well matched when it came to our style, outlook on life and jobs.
EASY TO TALK TO?
equAdor does have an attractive character, but I wasn’t sure if he was boyfriend material because he didn’t come across as an alpha male. While I’m a performer and a bohemian at heart, I’m also a business woman with a foot in the corporate world and need someone with a strong personality.
However, he did give a lot of feedback to the waiting staff about the freshness of the ingredients and the saltiness of our food, which was assertive. It could get annoying if he did this on a regular basis, though.
We’re both in the entertainment industry and discovered we know some of the same people. Plus, he’s a trained dancer, and I dance, too. He was also born in Strasbourg in France, and I lived there for four years.
EMBARRASSING MOMENTS?
WHen I went to the loo, equador hid behind the door frame and jumped out at me as I left, giving me a fright. It was unexpected and fun.
DID SPARKS FLY?
I lIked equador’s quirkiness but the initial attraction wasn’t there for me. As the date progressed I felt like he could be in the friend zone, and I would like to get to know him more as a friend.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HE THOUGHT OF YOU?
He quIte liked me, and asked about meeting up again. When he took my address to organise a taxi he looked up when non-residents can park for free.
We’d ordered so much food that we agreed to take some home and video chat the next day, but I had a medical emergency and couldn’t make it. We will meet again with no expectations.
WOULD YOUR FAMILY LIKE HIM?
YeS, equador is a friendly person, and no one I know would be negative about him.
