For me, it was more about the conversations than trying to make an impression. I liked our film and book interests and how we matched each other's energy, so that was a highlight of the evening. We had some interesting discussions on Instagram, travel and identity.
However, there were a couple of awkward moments. The waitress came to the table multiple times before we finished our tapas, which made it a bit challenging. But, overall, the conversation flowed well and Arun is an excellent conversationalist. He listens attentively, responds thoughtfully, and openly shares his life experiences.
Arun described me in three words: "Open, family-oriented, relatable." I'm just glad we had some common ground, even if it was mostly centered around books! We got to know each other's interests, which made for a lovely evening. Arun seemed very genuine and down-to-earth, so I think our conversation did him justice.
Unfortunately, my contact lens fell out towards the end of the date, which cut our time together short. But, Arun was understanding and walked me to the bus stop with me. It was nice to have someone accompany me until the last bit.
In terms of changing one thing about the evening, I thought the venue was a tad too loud, so it made conversation slightly difficult at times. But overall, we enjoyed each other's company immensely.

. I also feel bad for the date getting cut short because of your contact lens – I hate when those things happen 
. But it sounds like you had a really great time together and I'm sure you'll catch up again soon! 
. I love that they prioritized actual conversations over trying to make an impression – it's so refreshing! And omg, Arun sounds like an amazing guy 
. And yeah, my contact lens falling out at the end is a total bummer 
, that's like, the worst thing that could happen right before the night is over. But still, Arun being understanding and walking me to the bus stop? 
that's so sweet!
. Like, what did you guys talk about? Were there any awkward moments that didn't quite work out? I had a date recently and it was super chill, we talked about our fave books and authors, and just vibed on each other's energy. The venue was actually pretty cool, but like you said, sometimes the noise level can be a bit much 
. Anyway, being able to share common interests is def key to a good date in my opinion!
, especially with all these new apps coming out. I feel like we need to find a way to balance being open about who we are with not wanting to scare off potential matches. Like, how much info do you really need to share before it's too much? 
And what if you get ghosted because of something you didn't realize was a major turn-off? 
. My only tiny criticism would be that maybe the venue could've been a bit quieter? But overall, it's clear they had an amazing time together 
.
i mean idk if its just me but that happened to me last wkend when i was tryna relax at home 
i ended up orderin these super spicy wings coz i needed the heat 
. It just shows us that even when were all on our own devices or from different walks of life, there's always something to chat about 
! But it sounds like Arun was super sweet and understanding, so that made up for it 
.
he's got all those good qualities you mentioned: open, genuine, and down-to-earth... anyway, it's so cool that you guys had a common ground in books! what kind of books do you both enjoy reading? was there one conversation topic that really stood out to you as the highlight of the evening?
. A little too loud venue might've been a bummer, but I guess that's a small price to pay for such a great date 
guess it was a good thing arun was chill & took care of u till the end. anywayz, it's defo great that u found common ground w/ him thru books & stuff 
It's awesome that despite some minor hiccups, you guys were able to connect on book interests and other stuff. Maybe next time, they can pick a quieter venue? 
, but I guess if you guys had a good connection like you said, that's what matters most 
and omg, Arun sounds SO charming 
it's defo a win-win when u find someone who gets u! 
but at least Arun was cool with it and walked u home 
didnt sound like any of his pics tho
