* 2nd Date? Under normal circumstances would I have gone on a second date with them?

Results Table: My dates in order of ‘scores. It was Martin’s (Date 10) jokey suggestion that I rate all of my dates in top trumps fashion. And I agreed. Planning refers to how organised and thoughtful they were about designing the date. Rapport refers to how much I think that we had in common. Sweetness refers to how kind and endearing that they seemed. Scores are based just on the impression that the date gave me on the date only and so these score tables shouldn’t be taken too seriously.It’s all subjective.

* 2nd Date? Under normal circumstances would I have gone on a second date with them?B&C Table: Hmmm... writing a B&Cs table for men you’ve dated. I’ve performed one of the saddest most tacky tasks possible. Obviously all of this is just based on the one first-date and so first impressions really
