Edinburgh singles of the week – the Valentine’s Day value pack edition

Gather round gather round, there's only a few days until V-day and many singletons are still as hopeless in romance as ever. For many, the closest they'll come to romance is a cheeky snog on the dance floor in Hive – not that there's anything wrong with that.

Do not despair, however, for this week's round up of Edi's MVPs is here.

A cricket champion, whiskey connesieur and a keen 'Cheese-r, Akhil is a pioneer of what Edi has to offer. His chat is bound to bowl you over – pardon the pun – and your date to the trampoline park is bound to get you bouncing in more ways than one…

Becci Glover, Third year, Chemistry

What's in your Tinder bio? 'Shits and gigs enthusiast, chicken nugget connoisseur. If you can’t handle me at my worst, I really commend and respect you for setting healthy boundaries for yourself.’

Teviot Nachos or Ting Thai Caravan? Nachos any day, no jalapeños tho cos I’m spicy enough already (fire emoji x4)

What’s an interesting fact about yourself? I’m one half of Edimeme (Say no more).

Becci has more ginger spice in her than a bottle of paprika. She'd be a firey addition to any date and is sure to liven up any party you'd take her to. Yet beneath the fiery exterior Becci is just like any other gal; give her pizza and she'll be good as gold.

Would you rather be invisible or be able to fly? Fly because that’s boss.

Ollie is the epitome of New Town class; hot, intelligent and up for a journey to move beyond the paradigms of beauty. He's the kind of guy who is happy to spend a cosy night in binge-watching The Crown on Netflix instead of strawpaedoing VKs among the masses in Prow.
