Did musician Letty, 31, and Austen, 33, a business development manager, hit the right note?

Austen on Letty

What were you hoping for?

Someone attractive.

First impressions?

Great: she was attractive and easy to talk to.

What did you talk about?

Dogs, surfing, theatre, music, her awesome job, scuba diving, New Scientist, Ted talks, university, festivals.

Any awkward moments?

Only when a girl was taken out of the restaurant by paramedics, but I don’t think it was anything to do with us.

Good table manners?

Very good: she even ate her burger with a knife and fork.

Best thing about Letty?

Her infectious passion for lots of different things.

Would you introduce her to your friends?

Yes, they’d really get on.

Describe her in three words

Passionate, attractive, musical.

What do you think she made of you?

I think she liked me, but then, I’m terrible at reading signs, so who knows?

Did you go on somewhere?

No, but we stayed at the restaurant until closing.

And... did you kiss?

On the cheek. That counts, right?

If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?

Nothing, except that maybe it hadn’t been a school night, so we could have stayed out a bit longer.
