But I went into it thinking: \u2018I\u2019m just going to enjoy myself and see what happens.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/19\/78927663-12860307-image-a-17_1702494924348.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Naay, 27, is single with no children. She is a model and also runs her own takeaway business\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>First Impressions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When I walked over to Brad\u2019s table, I thought: \u2018Oh, he\u2019s a good-looking guy,\u2019 which is always nice. He had a lovely smile and stood up to say a warm hello, which put me at my ease from the start.<\/p>\n<p><span>Easy To Talk To?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We had a really lively conversation. We spoke about football because we are both huge fans and we talked about our families. We also discovered we like the same TV shows, such as Big Brother and Squid Game.<\/p>\n<p>We talked a little about Brad\u2019s children, but not much. The fact he\u2019s a father doesn\u2019t put me off dating him. Many men in their early 30s have had children, so you just have to accept it as part of the package.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d definitely like my own children one day and I wouldn\u2019t mind being a stepmum.<\/p>\n<p><span>Embarrassing Moments?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>No, it all went smoothly with no awkward silences.<\/p>\n<p><span>Did sparks fly?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not really. The conversation was more like two friends having a laugh than anything flirty. Somehow, even though he\u2019s attractive, I just didn\u2019t fancy him. I think he felt the same about me, as I didn\u2019t get any flirty vibes back either.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/19\/78927669-12860307-image-a-18_1702494985986.jpg\" height=\"951\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s looking for someone with a great personality who she clicks with.

We had a nice time and he\u2019s a lovely guy but the distance is too much and I don\u2019t think either of us would make the effort to travel.<\/p>\n<p><span>What do you think he thought of you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not really sure. It felt like we were both on the same wavelength, laughing at the same things and really getting on well, but there was no real spark of attraction.<\/p>\n<p><span>Would your family like him?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>My family are Muslim and usually quite picky about the kind of men they want me to date. I tend to ignore everything they say and go for the complete opposite. So I\u2019m not sure what they\u2019d say about Brad \u2014 he\u2019s lovely but doesn\u2019t share our faith<\/p>\n<h3>BLIND DATE VITAL STATISTICS\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>NAAY\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Single, no children.<\/p>\n<p><span>CURRENT ROLE<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Model, and I run my own takeaway business.<\/p>\n<p><span>WOULD LIKE TO MEET<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Someone with a great personality I click with.

She had a great smile and seemed really friendly.<\/p>\n<p><span>Easy To Talk To?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yes, there were no awkward silences. We had a lot in common, the first thing being our love of football. She\u2019s a Chelsea fan and I support Manchester United, but you can\u2019t have everything!<\/p>\n<p>We chatted about Naay\u2019s modelling career and I was impressed she could mix it up with her work as a chef, too. She seemed to have a lot of confidence, which I liked.<\/p>\n<p>Like me, she has little spare time and was interested to hear about my family and my children. I\u2019m not sure if she wants kids: I got the impression she didn\u2019t, so that would make things a little awkward if we did get together.<\/p>\n<p><span>Embarrassing Moments?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>None at all.<\/p>\n<p><span>Did sparks fly?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yes and no \u2014 she\u2019s very good-looking, so of course I found her attractive. But I need to get to know a woman a bit more to say if there are sparks.<\/p>\n<p>She said over dinner that she\u2019d have preferred an \u2018activity\u2019 date, such as bowling, and I feel the same.
