“I have to be honest…I don’t think he’s been on a date before.” Chloe and Jasdeep are NOT a match on this week’s Blind Date… so why did she agree to meet him again?

Every week Femail asks two singles to report on their blind date.

This week it’s Chloe, 21, and Jasdeep, 23, but it looks like romance isn’t on the cards for these two hopefuls…

CHLOE, 21

Single for a year.

Dating past?

I haven’t really done much dating because I was in two pretty long ‘situations’ – not really a relationship – for over two years, but that ended about a year ago.

Pre-date nerves?

Yes, a little bit. Meeting someone on a blind date isn’t something you do every day and although I’ve been on plenty of first dates, this was all new.

First impression?

I thought Jasdeep was a handsome man who clearly took care of himself. He was wearing skinny jeans and a gray sweater – casual but smart. We said hello, but I could tell he was quite shy.

Easy to talk to?

I have to be honest; it was hard work and I had to keep the conversation going for the entire date. At first he barely spoke.

We talked about films, but Jasdeep had never heard of the artsy films I like. But he clearly has a passion for his studies. He also has a good relationship with his family and still lives with them. To be honest, I don’t think he’s really dated before.

Embarrassing moments?

Not really, but his intense shyness made the whole date very awkward.

Did sparks fly?

Not at all. I’m a little sorry to say that, but there was no attraction. It took a long time for the food to come, which is probably why the date took so long. When we were done, we were both like, ‘Okay, let’s go?’. I was happy to go to bed at home.

Will you see him again?

He asked to meet again and out of panic and politeness I said yes, but I feel guilty because that’s not going to happen.

What do you think he thought of you?

I think he may have been more interested in me as a friend. At the end of the date we walked to the station, where he gave me a polite handshake and that was it.

Would your family like him?

They are very outgoing, so they would probably scare him to death. They would think Jasdeep is too quiet for me.

JASDEEP, 22

Single for over a year.

Dating past?

I’ve only had a handful of short-term relationships and have been single for a while. But I’m only 23, so I don’t want to rush into something that doesn’t feel right.

Pre-date nerves?

Yes, I usually meet women through friends, so the idea of ​​a blind date felt weird. As I waited for Chloe at the restaurant, I was convinced she wouldn’t show up.

First impression?

I really had no idea what to expect, but when she walked up to me, smiled and said her name, I found her very attractive. Her pants and crop top looked nice and she also seemed very friendly.

Easy to talk to?

I think the nerves got to me at first. I’m normally quite confident when interacting with women, but I couldn’t think of anything to say. She kept asking if I was okay and said it looked like I was going to run for the door. After a few minutes we both started to warm up. We discovered we had fitness in common: she is a swimming teacher and I love the gym. We both love movies. But I like action movies, while she prefers more artsy, independent films. We chatted for over two hours, so I guess we had a lot to talk about.

Embarrassing moments?

Just those first few minutes where we were both struggling.

Have sparks flown?

Not for me and I think she’s on the same page. I found her attractive, but I only saw her as a friend because there were no sparks. When you like someone that way, you just “know” it.

Will you see her again?

I don’t think so, even though she was nice. But she lives on the other side of London, so even a friendship can prove difficult.

What do you think she thought of you?

I think she liked it and we exchanged Instagram details so we could keep in touch that way. But I don’t think either of us wanted to move on.

Would your family like her?

We’re both close with our families, but I couldn’t imagine introducing her as anything more than a friend.
