A blind date in London ended prematurely after one participant suffered a contact lens mishap, cutting the evening short. Will and Kate met for dinner at a chicken restaurant, though Kate, a vegetarian, had hoped for more veggie-friendly options.
The pair, who both rated the date 7 out of 10, bonded over shared interests including karaoke, parkrun, and the Finsbury Park area. Will described Kate as 'easy to chat with', while Kate found Will 'relaxed and easy to talk to'.
However, the evening took an unexpected turn when Kate's contact lens caused discomfort, leading to an early end. 'I had to call it a night because my lens was bothering me,' Kate explained. 'It was a shame because we were getting on well.'
Despite the mishap, both said they would meet again as friends. Will joked that Kate might think he was 'keen on free food', while Kate admitted she may have come across as 'a bit fussy' about the restaurant choice.
The date, which took place in north London, did not lead to a kiss. 'If it weren't for physical distancing, would you have kissed? No,' both confirmed.
