Blind Date: Abigo and Suli Hit It Off in Manchester
Abigo, a 26-year-old retail supervisor, and Suli, a 25-year-old animation graduate, met for a blind date at Gaucho in Manchester. Both rated the evening highly, with Abigo giving a perfect 10 out of 10 and Suli scoring it a 9.
First Impressions and Conversation
Suli described Abigo as "funny and quite sure of herself," while Abigo found Suli "super friendly and genuine." They discussed a wide range of topics, including their creative sides, mental health, family dynamics, dream jobs, school, and even shoplifting. Abigo admitted to having "word vomit," but the conversation flowed naturally.
Awkward Moments and Honesty
The only awkward moment came when Suli mentioned he had another date coming up. Abigo noted, "I could tell he felt awkward about being that honest, but I genuinely don't think he knows how to lie or withhold information. It's kind of cute." Suli, however, felt no awkwardness after the first five minutes, saying they had "good chemistry."
Post-Date Activities
After dinner, the pair went to a nearby park to talk further. Abigo had an early train the next day, so they couldn't stay out too long. Suli wished they had gone somewhere else afterward, while Abigo also expressed a desire to extend the evening.
Physical Affection and Future Plans
They shared a kiss on the cheek, which Suli counted as a kiss. Both expressed regret about not making a move, with Suli saying, "I should have made a move, but I'm not good at that sort of thing." Despite this, they are planning to meet again soon, possibly for a cinema outing.
Mutual Impressions
Suli described Abigo in three words: "Feminist, influential, a diva." He believed she saw him as "laid-back, go with the flow, a sincere guy." Abigo described Suli as "genuine, charming, layered," and thought he perceived her as "chatty, confident and medicated." Both would introduce the other to their friends.
Conclusion
The blind date was a resounding success, with both participants enjoying the experience and looking forward to a second date. The evening, filled with honest conversation and good chemistry, left little to be desired, except perhaps a more decisive move at the end.
