She has 60% of the qualities I’m looking partner’ for in a life

- Interviews: SAMANTHA BRICK

DATING PAST?

In My 20s, I was focused on my social life and had

no interest in settling down. since then I have dated younger and older women, but unfortunat­ely things fall apart because they have had children, or have baggage from previous relationsh­ips.

PRE-DATE NERVES?

no, I’M a confident person. That said, because of the pandemic, I haven’t been on a date for a while.

FIRST IMPRESSION­S?

noT great. I arrived on time to find anne-Marie had turned up ten minutes early and got herself a drink at the bar. she’d ordered a large glass of rosé and straight away that put me off her. honestly, I would have preferred it if she had waited for me. as for looks, although she has a nice figure, she is a little bigger than I had envisaged. That said, she’s a friendly person and things improved.

EASY TO TALK TO?

yes, I told anne-Marie about my brand and she was impressed. she has a marketing background and could understand what I’m trying to do.

she showed me pictures of where she lives with her mum — her spare time is spent on her horses. I can see anne-Marie is trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, but she does like her wine.

EMBARRASSI­NG MOMENTS?

anne-MarIe kept nudging and kicking me under the table. was it a nervous twitch? she did apologise, but I wondered why she didn’t keep her distance so she’d stop doing it.

DID SPARKS FLY?

she asked me if I was attracted to her and I told her the truth — no. I prefer blonde women. she fancies Piers Morgan and I said she’d got a result with me as I am younger and better looking than him.

SEE HER AGAIN?

If PusheD, I’d say anne-Marie has 60 per cent of the qualities I am looking for in a life partner. so while I’d see her on a friendship level, she isn’t relationsh­ip material.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE THOUGHT OF YOU?

whIle I don’t think anne-Marie is attracted to me, I think she liked spending time with me.

WOULD YOUR FAMILY LIKE HER?

yes, they would. anne-Marie has an engaging personalit­y and is one of life’s nice people.
