“He made an X-rated innuendo about the size of her feet!” Find out how this week’s blind date went hilariously wrong

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

This week, it was Sarah and Phil’s turn to dine and wine.

Read on to find out what went wrong…

Sara, 58 years old

VITAL STATISTICS

Divorced, with two children aged 31 and 27, and two grandchildren.

Current role

I work on construction.

Would you like to meet

A romantic who likes theatre and reading.

Dating someone from the past?

I was married for 20 years and then engaged to a man for 12 years until two years ago when we split up. I have had other relationships since then but now it’s time to meet someone special.

Pre-date jitters?

No, I’m not a nervous person and I was looking forward to meeting Phil.

First impressions?

When I saw Phil standing at the bar, I knew right away that he wasn’t my type. He was smartly dressed in a blue suit, but he looked like he was hanging out with the guys way too much. Still, I thought he seemed nice and that we might have a good time.

Easy to talk to?

Phil behaved with absolute courtesy and chivalry, but he hardly asked me any questions about myself. For the first hour, he talked about the leases of all the properties he owns.

When I tried to change the subject and talk about things like what movies he had seen or what his hobbies were, I couldn’t keep up. Then he went on a rant about politics for the next hour. At one point, I was laughing out loud because the whole thing was ridiculous.

Embarrassing moments?

He made a suggestion about how the size of her feet might relate to other parts of her body. I knew what he meant, but it didn’t seem right for him to say that on a first date.

Did sparks fly?

No, not at all. I don’t want to make it seem like he’s a bad person, he’s not. He’s just not the right one for me.

Do you see it again?

No. After a couple of hours, he wanted to buy two bottles of wine and “have some fun,” but I told him it was nice to meet him, gave him a kiss on each cheek, and quickly left.

What do you think he thought of you?

He kept suggesting that we go somewhere after dinner, so I think he was attracted to me. He certainly seemed to like the fact that I was laughing so hard, but I wasn’t interested.

Would your family like it?

They’ll never know. I don’t even think he knows I have two children or grandchildren because he never asked me.

Sarah’s verdict: 5/10

APPRECIATED? The experience was, uh, interesting.

REGRETS? No.

COFFEE OR TAXI? Cab.

Phil, 63

VITAL STATISTICS

Divorced with one adult son and daughter.

Current role

Serial owner.

Would you like to meet

A girl size 8 to 10. Ideally, she should be pretty.

Dating someone from the past?

I was married for 17 years, until 2012. Since then, I have dated some very beautiful women and quite a few foreign girls. My last girlfriend was 28, but she didn’t speak a word of English, so I learned French. We dated for 16 months.

Pre-date jitters?

No, not at all. I am confident and comfortable with anyone.

First impressions?

I thought Sarah was a lively and pretty girl. She had a nice smile and was clearly not nervous about meeting me: as soon as she arrived, she changed out of her high heels into a pair of high heels while we talked. She was obviously not fazed by being on a blind date.

Easy to talk to?

I’m not afraid to talk to women. I told her how I feel with my kids, my job, and my life, and she told me how I feel too. We both like to keep fit: she plays pickleball while I play paddle tennis. Something that caught my attention was that she never uses the elevator. Even in tall buildings, she always uses the stairs, so she must be fit.

Embarrassing moments?

Forgive me but I am never ashamed.

Did sparks fly?

Not really, I’m afraid there was no chemistry between us. She’s attractive, but I like very toned women and stimulating conversations. Although we chatted pleasantly, there was no spark.

Do you see her again?

I didn’t write down her phone number and she didn’t ask for mine, but we still had a lovely evening.

What do you think Did she think about you?

She seemed to like me as a person, but not in the sense that there was chemistry between us. I think she liked that I was very direct and didn’t seem intimidated when I talked openly about topics that most people would rather not discuss, like sex and libido. I didn’t want to embarrass her and she laughed it off, so I hope that’s okay.

Would your family like it?

I live with my daughter, who is 25. She disapproves of some of my younger friends, so Sally would be a better age.

Phil’s verdict: 10/10

APPRECIATED? I had a fantastic time.

REGRETS? No.

COFFEE OR TAXI? Cab.
