Yukari about John

What did you hop for?
The going out in a big city can be such a slog, so I really only hoped for a connection. It is always exciting to be set up on a date in a different way.

First impressions?
Great hair. When someone with straight, flat hair that does nothing, I was jealous. And he was so friendly that I knew that we would have a good evening.

What did you talk about?
All the foundations for the first date: education, career, hobbies, John's aversion to mustard and salt …

The most cumbersome moment?
Only the waitress who took our photo – the lighting did not like us, so she came back to take another.

Good table manners?
Incredibly good.

The best thing about John?
He is a dessert -shahar -he gave me the last bit of the sticky Toffee pudding.

Questions and A

Do you fancy a blind date?

Show

The blind date is the dating column on Saturday: Every week, two strangers are paired for dinner and drinks and then spilled the beans to us to answer a number of questions. This runs with a photo that we record from every dater before the date, in Saturday magazine (in Great Britain) and every Saturday online at theguardian.com. It has been running since 2009 – you can read everything about how we put it together here.

What questions are to me?
We ask for age, place, job, hobbies, interests and the kind of person you want to meet. If you don't believe that these questions cover everything you want to know, tell us what you think.

Can I choose who I matched?
No, it's a blind date! But we ask you a little about your interests, preferences, etc. – the more you tell us, the better the game is likely.

Can I select the photo?
No, but don't worry: we will choose the nicest.

Which personal data will appear?
Your first name, your job and your age.

How should I answer?
To be honest, respectful. Pay attention to how it is read about your date, and this blind date reaches a large audience, in printed and online.

Will I see the other person's answers?
No. We can edit yours and theirs for a number of reasons, including the length, and we can ask you for further details.

Will you find me one?
We will try! Wedding! Babies!

Can I do it in my hometown?
Only if it is in Great Britain. Many of our applicants live in London, but we would like to hear from people who live elsewhere.

What do you think, John made you out of you?
He was difficult to read, but he probably thought I had taken pudding too seriously. I know we both had a good time.

Did you go anywhere?
No, we were both passionate about getting to bed, so 10 p.m. seemed to be a good time to name it.
