Meet the lasses

Nelly and Flo, third year, Politics and English Lit

How long have you guys been mates for?

We’re not friends…

What is your type?

Nelly: Can’t beat the combination of good eyes with a slice of sarcasm. Flo: Give me good cheekbones any day.

Do you both look for the same thing in a partner?

Neither of us like wet wipes.

What were your first impressions of the others?

All good until Arran chose the Passionate Lady cocktail for his first drink lol.

Would you swipe right for them?

Sure .

You went to 97 & Social, was this a good place for a date?

Yeah! Very good place for a date, did an awesome Pornstar and some delicious edible flowers.

What drinks did you have?

A few Zombies and Passionate Ladies. We got a round of tequila shots in of course.

Were there any awkward moments?

Only when Flo was forced by Nelly to mention she was editor of The Tab.

What did you like about them?

They were easy going and super chilled.

What didn't you like about them?

They didn't have a tractor.

If they were a celeb duo who would they be?

Kendall and Kylie.

Snog, marry or avoid?

Well, since we’ve only just met we think marriage would be a little early days or even early doors.

Will you see them again?

Most probably 4th Floor in the Robbo, but we also know where they live…

If you were to message them again, would it be for a date, a booty-call or to hang out as pals?

We’ll let them message first and see.

Did any of you kiss?

A lady never tells.

And now for the lads…

Nathan and Arran, third year, Economics and Finance

How long have you been friends for?

Sparks flew from the first day of uni.

What is your type?

Just two open minded guys, who has a type nowadays?

What were your first impressions of the others?

Two girls walked in just before so emotions were already running high, however we were pleased when they walked over, despite their tardiness.

Was 97 & Social a good place for a date? What was the atmosphere like?

As a place for a date it ticks all the boxes. Dim lighting set the mood and the lack of music created an atmosphere for chat. The football on in the background also kept us updated on our fantasy teams.

What drinks did you have?

Two Passionate Ladies and two Zombies pretty much sums up the date as well as the drinks.

What did you like about them?

They bought the first drink which is always a winner. Also very amusing chatty girls who were easy to get on with, there was never a dull moment. Flo especially was very humbling despite her leading role as editor of The Tab.

What didn't you like about them?

Their need to constantly remind us they weren’t textbook Leazes girls despite holding four gap years between them.

Were there any awkward moments?

Whilst breaking the ice Nelly asked "what type of tractor did I have?"

Whether tractor was a code word for something else I was unsure but guessed it was a inside Leazes joke and moved swiftly on.

If they were a celeb duo who would they be?

Those two off Ab Fab.

Snog, Marry, Avoid?

Marry, hoping to inherit a tractor myself.

Will you see them again?

Yeah, we’re about to instigate a turf war on the 4th floor of the Robbo.

If you were to message them again, would it be for a date, a booty-call or to hang out as pals?

Ye all three.

Did any of you kiss?

A gentleman never tells.

Looks like a v successful date, but whether or not they necked on remains a mystery…
