Colman on Ben
What were you hoping for?
Brown eyes, decent chat, and if all else failed, a good story.
First impressions?
Punctual – we both arrived early and in surprisingly similar outfits.
What did you talk about?
The best and worst shows we’ve seen. The Australian outback. The seven oak trees of Sevenoaks. Blarney Castle. Standup comedy. Coming out. Celebrities we’ve come across.
Most awkward moment?
None at all – easy from the start.
Good table manners?
Exceptional. He kept on topping up my glass and was lovely to the nice dog that wandered over to our table.
Best thing about Ben?
He was warm, chatty and genuinely interested in what I had to say.
Would you introduce Ben to your friends?
I may have to if he ends up coming to my gay run club. We were intrigued to discover that we didn’t have any mutual followers on Instagram.
Describe Ben in three words
Easy-going, engaging, mischievous.
What do you think Ben made of you?
Open, affable, inquisitive – he said I was quick-witted, which I was happy to hear.
Did you go on somewhere?
We stayed for coffee, followed by tea, and ended up lingering. Ben had to go to work, so I travelled with him, which felt like a nice way to round things off.
And … did you kiss?
We hugged goodbye on the train as he dashed off to work.
If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?
That Ben didn’t have to go to work – we’d have happily gone for a drink.
Marks out of 10?
9.
Would you meet again?
Yes – he suggested we meet up again when I’m back from holidays.
Ben on Colman
What were you hoping for?
A decent story for the “waiting for the kettle to boil” chat in the office.
First impressions?
Eyelash envy.
What did you talk about?
Barry’s Tea. Joanne McNally. How we’d fare during a zombie apocalypse.
Most awkward moment?
The intermittently disturbed conversation every time the train we went on afterwards started screaming.
Good table manners?
Insert chef’s kiss emoji.
Best thing about Colman?
His joie de vivre and that he sees the funny side of everything life throws at all of us.
Would you introduce Colman to your friends?
As Olivia Dean once said, he’d “slot right in”.
Describe Colman in three words
Vibes all the way (that’s technically four).
What do you think Colman made of you?
Probably that I’m pretty convivial and had a sweaty forehead for the first half‑hour.
Did you go on somewhere?
Sadly I had to go to work, so no.
And … did you kiss?
My mother could be reading this … (we didn’t).
If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?
The fact that the old ball and chain (my work) was beckoning.
Marks out of 10?
A solid 9.
Would you meet again?
We plan on it – stay tuned, divas.
