Teacher and Musician Meets Stunning Advocate
18 Jul
Summary
- Hugh and Edie bonded over shared backgrounds and a love for Catalan.
- The date participants experienced an awkward wait and a shared puppy story.
- Both Hugh and Edie rated the date highly, enjoying great conversation.

Hugh, a 55-year-old teacher and musician, met Edie, a 50-year-old independent advocate, for a blind date at Bar Etna in Altrincham. Hugh initially hoped for an exciting experience and a beautiful companion, while Edie sought someone easy to talk to and funny.
Their first impressions were positive, with Hugh finding Edie stunning and the conversation flowing effortlessly. A delightful surprise for Hugh was discovering Edie's ability to speak Catalan, his mother tongue. They discussed backgrounds, family, music, and food.
Edie recalled nearly jumping when Hugh greeted her loudly, but found him smiley and relaxed. They bonded over shared loves, including Catalunya and music. An amusing moment involved a large cheese plant that they playfully named Kitty and included in their date.
Despite minor differences, like Edie not being as passionate about music as Hugh, the evening was a success. They stayed until the restaurant closed, and Hugh received a lift from Edie. Both enjoyed the food and company immensely.
Hugh gave the date a perfect 10, expressing a desire for it to have lasted longer. Edie rated it an 8, suggesting a potential friendship. They exchanged numbers, and while a romantic kiss didn't happen, a two-cheek European kiss was shared, leaving the door open for future encounters.
