London-based American here, reporting in! This weekend, instead of doing my usual mix of work and doing things that require very little brain power, I thought, why not actually be interesting for once? I’m still going to do those other things, but grabbing a drink or coffee with someone pretty would be a pretty great addition (especially if it continues). Back in the 90s, you’d see these snippets of people making dating videos (probably a better name for them), and they always seemed awkward and quirky, but now we’re all doing some version of that. As mentioned before, I’m an American, who’s 6 feet tall, sort of on the skinny side, and definitely a smart-ass; I have a boring corporate job by day and am a composer by night, as well as a working knowledge of the word ‘whom’ (which the internet told me increases dating success, though I’ve yet to find who said it or to whom it was said). My favourite colour is blue; I speak enough Spanish to not starve to death in a Spanish-speaking country; I like sci fi and nerdy things (no anime, though, sorry), and horror movies that are either super creepy, or extremely over the top, but I’m too empathetic to watch anything with even somewhat believable gore without getting overwhelmed. I’m in NW London, but happy to travel if you’re further away. If you ever come to my place, you get to meet my very sweet and fluffy cat (just so you have something to look forward to). Let’s grab a drink and see where it goes!
