**Interview with Sophie and Harry: A Blind Date Recap**

**What were your expectations going into this blind date?**
Sophie: I was really hoping for an enjoyable evening with a fascinating person, some great food, and maybe a memorable story to tell later.
Harry: I was looking for a little excitement—something unexpected to shake things up.

**How did you feel about each other when you first met?**
Sophie: Harry kicked things off perfectly by ordering champagne, which helped ease my nerves right away.
Harry: She had this warm, welcoming energy when she walked in, like we were old friends.

**What kind of topics came up during dinner?**
Sophie: Harry was very open and shared a lot about his life. We covered various topics, but we did tiptoe a bit too close to politics at one point.
Harry: We talked about work, cooking, family, holidays, and then, since we were at a steakhouse in a casino, we even got into gambling.

**Did you experience any awkward moments?**
Sophie: For sure, when Harry confessed that he doesn’t actually read The Guardian, I found that a bit awkward.
Harry: For me, it was when some older guys at a nearby table were escorted out by bouncers—it felt straight out of a gangster movie!

**Was there anything you noticed about each other’s table manners?**
Sophie: I didn’t see anything that stood out as poor manners; they were really quite good!
Harry: Absolutely no complaints—Sophie had impeccable table manners.

**What was the highlight of your date?**
Sophie: Even though we come from different backgrounds, Harry showed genuine interest in my life. His kindness towards our waiter also said a lot about him.
Harry: I really loved Sophie’s warmth; she had such a friendly vibe that made the whole evening enjoyable.

**Would you introduce each other to your friends?**
Sophie: I definitely would; there’s no reason not to.
Harry: Without a doubt, I’d have no problem introducing Sophie to my friends.

**If you had to describe each other in three words, what would they be?**
Sophie: A good egg.
Harry: Lovely, kind, approachable.

**How do you think the other person saw you?**
Sophie: Maybe I seemed a bit indecisive with the menu, but Harry called me “bubbly,” so I’m hoping that’s a compliment!
Harry: I’d like to think she found me engaging, fun, and maybe a little charming.

**Did you continue the night anywhere after dinner?**
Sophie: Yes, we went downstairs to the casino for a drink, but sadly, we didn’t hit the jackpot.
Harry: We had cocktails and wandered around the casino, soaking up the ambiance. We almost got roped into a game of roulette!

**Was there any romantic moment, like a kiss?**
Sophie: We shared a quick kiss on the escalator, which caught me off guard a little.
Harry: Just a quick peck on the lips as we were riding down the escalator.

**If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?**
Sophie: Even though I had a lovely time, I felt like some chemistry was missing.
Harry: Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing—it was a fantastic night!

**On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your date?**
Sophie: I’d give it a 10. Harry is definitely a 10/10 person, especially for putting himself out there like this.
Harry: I’d give it an 8. It was a wonderful night with great company.

**Would you want to see each other again?**
Sophie: I’m not sure we’ll cross paths again.
Harry: We exchanged numbers, so yes, but I think it’ll be more of a friendly meetup than a romantic one.

**Final Thoughts**
Sophie and Harry concluded their evening at Heliot Steak House located in the Hippodrome Casino in London. Interested in going on a blind date? Reach out to [email protected].
