A Blind Date Gone Well - Daniel's Side of the Story
For Daniel, the first five minutes on his date with Isla were a sweaty affair. "I was sweating quite a lot for the first five minutes," he reveals, describing the initial stages of their blind date at Da Long Yi Hotpot in London.
The conversation flowed easily as they chatted about everything from jobs to British and Australian humor. Daniel admits that he's always been curious about Isla's side of things, so she must have impressed him a great deal.
As it turned out, the real magic happened when Daniel suggested cooking their own hotpot - a move that quickly made table manners go out the window. But for both Daniel and Isla, this was all part of a smooth journey.
Daniel describes Isla as "bright, cheerful, and confident", while she calls him "friendly, humble, hardworking". According to Daniel, he thinks Isla is chatty - and has a great appetite. He too had a pleasant time, but admits that meeting on a Monday wasn't ideal for either of them.
The evening ended with a lovely hug when the train pulled up at Daniel's stop. And while there was no kiss, both agree they'd love to meet again - perhaps just for dinner or drinks. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and their shared love of tiramisu seems like the perfect icebreaker. Will you fancy a blind date with Isla?

I think it's great that Daniel was willing to take a chance on a blind date 
! Meeting someone new can be super intimidating, but he handled it really well 
. I love how they both relaxed and had fun together - who doesn't love hotpot?! 
It sounds like they have some awesome common interests too 
. And awww, that lovely hug at the end is just so sweet 
! But maybe next time, Monday dates might be a bit more ideal for them 
. Still, I think it's awesome that they're open to meeting again and see where things go 
!
. She's got that 'girl next door' vibe going on and Daniel seems like a real down-to-earth guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. I mean, cooking hotpot together is basically the ultimate test of compatibility... did they manage to eat all their food or was there some serious sauce-stained drama? 
... I mean, who writes this stuff? "Bright, cheerful, and confident" is basically just a copy-paste cliché 
... Can't they be a bit more original? And what's with all the glowing praise for cooking hotpot together? It sounds like a super awkward first date to me 
. The fact that it went well just because they both wanted a second date is kinda boring, if you ask me 
. I mean, I'd love to see some actual depth or complexity in their relationship... this feels like a Facebook dating ad more than an actual article 
. The fact that they're both interested in meeting again is already giving me "feel-good vibes" 
! Maybe we'll see them on another date soon? 
I am literally SHAKING right now! I mean I was reading this blind date article & Daniel's side of the story & I just can't even handle how CUTE they are together! 
It's like the universe brought them together & it's all so magical. They seem to click on EVERY LEVEL, from jobs to humor to shared love of tiramisu 
Let's give them a round of applause for making it work on their first blind date. I would TOTALLY want to meet her too, especially if we're talking dinner or drinks 
. And that hug at the end? Might've been a polite goodnight, but we can't really know, right? 
. Who knows what's next for them? Maybe we'll see a second date soon
