Sam

28, actor What were you hoping for?

A fellow member of the Guardianreading, tofu-eating wokerati to have a few laughs with.

Maddy was lovely.

What did you talk about?

Acting. Her life in Seattle. Her PhD and her dance classes. Our families and, eventually, Harry Potter.

Most awkward moment?

How much Maddy hated her cocktail at the bar we ended up in: £22 for a nonalcoholic Calpol. It was funny, to be fair.

Good table manners?

We shared all our food.

Best thing about Maddy?

I found her so easy to listen and chat to, and we had some really big laughs.

Would you introduce Maddy to your friends?

Absolutely. Most of them have heard the story of “Guardian Girl” by now …

Describe Maddy in three words.

Intelligent, kind, beautiful.

What do you think Maddy made of you?

Funny and a bit sweet. She put up with me translating everything into American English before eventually saying: “I know what A-levels are, Sam!”

Did you go on somewhere?

To the Calpol bar, a stroll through town and then I went with her to the station.

And … did you kiss?

I’ll let Maddy answer that one.

If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be?

It could have gone on longer.

Marks out of 10?

We ended up outside platform 9¾ at King’s Cross station, which felt right …

Would you meet again?

I’m already looking up a less Calpol-y bar for next time.
