​Around seven years ago I went on my first ever blind date, also the first date I ever went on with someone I’d met online (there’s a reason I’ve never gone on one again since). Both of us had recently been dumped by our respective exes, so it’s fair to say we were both looking for a rebound date/someone to moan to. We had agreed to meet at a Belfast bar and to be fair, we actually got on really well — at the beginning.
