Blind date: 'Did we kiss? Well, we didn't want to let down the bartenders'

Jenny and Sara are the latest couple to take part in The Guardian's Blind Date. The two women, both 32, met at La Camionera in London E9 after Jenny answered an ad in the paper for a like-minded lesbian looking to meet someone fun.

According to Jenny, she had high hopes that the date would be a chance for them to try something new together and share some laughs, but she was also realistic about not wanting to let down the bartenders by keeping her away from the bar for too long.

Jenny described Sara as "gorgeous" with a smile that made her feel at ease immediately, and they quickly moved on to discuss their interests - including art, hobbies, and even some popular TV shows like Married at First Sight.

However, things got awkward when Jenny tried to take a selfie with Sara and both recoiled in embarrassment. They also had differing views on the state of UK nightlife, which led to an amusing exchange about how long they'd survive on a desert island together.

Despite this, the evening was described by both women as enjoyable and fun, with Sara praising Jenny's intelligence and sense of humor. The best thing about Jenny, according to Sara, was her energy and willingness to make the most of their night out.

When asked if she'd introduce Sara to her friends, Jenny said yes without hesitation - Sara is likable and kind, making it easy for anyone to get along with her.

In the end, both women agreed that they had a great time together and gave each other high praise. However, they also acknowledged that there was one thing they would change about their date: having more food! With a score of 10 out of 10 - Sara even said she'd give Jenny a perfect mark if she didn't think she was being too harsh with her 9 - it's clear these two women are ready for another chance to spend time together.

The evening ended at La Camionera, where they enjoyed some delicious food and drinks before parting ways. If you're looking to take your love life in a new direction or just want to meet someone special, The Guardian's Blind Date service might be just the ticket - fancy a blind date?
 
can u imagine goin out on a blind date with nothin but hope and expectations πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ? i mean jenny & sara seemed super into each other at first, but then things got weird πŸ€”...like, who takes a selfie with someone u just met? πŸ˜‚ anyway, it's def clear they had fun together & would do it again πŸ‘«πŸ΄
 
lol can u believe how awkward those dates can get 🀣 i mean jenny and sara seemed like they had a blast but wow some people are just too self concious about taking selfies πŸ˜‚ i need to try that blind date thing though, who knows maybe id find my partner in crime πŸ‘« would love 2 meet someone fun and into art too 🎨
 
I think it's so sweet that Jenny and Sara had such a great time on their date! πŸ€— They seemed like they really connected over their shared interests and sense of humor. I love how honest they were about what didn't work out (like not having enough food) - being able to laugh at yourself is key, right? πŸ˜‚ But seriously, it's awesome that they're already looking forward to a second date! πŸ‘« Sara seems like an amazing person - all that kindness and energy... I'm sure Jenny is lucky to have met her. πŸ’–
 
omg u guys i just had the craziest dream last night lol i was flying over the ocean and my cat mr whiskers was on the plane with me 🐈😹 it was so vivid i felt like i was really soaring over the water... anyway back to this blind date story... i'm glad they both had a good time tho but having more food on the date is kinda important lol wouldn't wanna be stuck on a desert island together without enough snacks πŸ”πŸ‘€
 
πŸ€” so i was reading about this blind date thingy and it sounds kinda cool, but also kinda awkward πŸ˜‚ like what if you take a selfie together and both feel embarrassed lol, or when you disagree on stuff like nightlife πŸŒƒ. but at the same time, it's great that they had fun and enjoyed each other's company πŸ‘«. i mean, who doesn't love food though? 🍴 maybe next date, can we please have more grub? πŸ˜‚ seriously though, it's nice to see people trying new things and taking chances on meeting someone special πŸ’•. but have you ever been on a blind date before? how did it go? was it awkward or fun? πŸ€—
 
omg can u beleev how adorable this couple is?! they seem like total opposites, but somehow make it work! i mean jenny's all about tryin new things and havin laughs, while sara's more chill and likable πŸ€—. and can we talk about that selfie fail tho? πŸ˜‚ it's so cute how they both felt awkward, but still ended up having a blast together.

i also love how they talked about their interests - art, hobbies, and even married at first sight πŸ“Ί. it's like they really connected on that level. and sara's praise for jenny's intelligence and sense of humor is everything πŸ’–.

one thing i'd change, tho... MORE FOOD!!! 🍴 seriously though, if they had more food, it would've been a 10/10 in my book πŸ˜‚. but all jokes aside, it's so great to see these two women being supportive and open-minded with each other. fingers crossed for another date! πŸ’•
 
I gotta say, I'm loving this blind date thing The Guardian's got going on! 🀩 These two ladies seem like they had a blast together, despite a few awkward moments πŸ˜‚. It's all about having fun and not taking things too seriously, right? Jenny and Sara just radiate positivity and energy - it's infectious! πŸ’– I'm rooting for them to go on another date ASAP. The desert island question was pretty funny, btw... who knew survival on a deserted island could be so relatable to dating? πŸŒ΄πŸ˜‚
 
πŸ€” i think it's so cool that they both had fun despite some awkward moments πŸ˜‚. Sara seems like an awesome person and Jenny is lucky to have found her. πŸ™Œ having more food on the date wasn't their thing, but who can blame them at La Camionera? all in all, a great blind date πŸ‘
 
They seem like a match made in heaven πŸ™Œ! I loved how they opened up about themselves and had some great laughs together πŸ˜‚. But honestly, who tries to take a selfie with their date on the first meet-up? πŸ˜‚ Jenny's not trying to be too cool, and Sara's being sweet and understanding – it's like they're meant to be πŸ’•. And can I say, more food at the bar sounds like a solid plan for next time πŸ΄πŸ‘Œ. All in all, I'm rooting for these two ladies and their possible future together πŸ’—!
 
awwwww πŸ˜πŸ€— omg i am so shipin these two!!! they seemed like such a great match, and their banter was literally too cute for words 🀣 i loved how they didn't take themselves too seriously, especially when it came to the selfie fail πŸ“ΈπŸ˜‚ and i'm dyin over here thinking about them on that desert island together, surviving off the grid with no food πŸŒ΄πŸ” seriously though, 10 out of 10 for these two - can't wait to see what happens next! πŸ’•
 
OMG Sara is literally gorgeous! 😍 I mean I can see why Jenny was drawn to her, she sounds like an amazing person with so much energy and positivity. And haha yeah food for thought 🀣, I'm surprised they didn't have an appetizer section on the date form. But seriously though, it's awesome that they had such a great time together despite a few awkward moments. Their vibe is just really lovely πŸ’•, and I'm totally shipping them now! 😘
 
πŸ˜‚ can u imagine the barista at La Camionera having to deal with 2 beautiful women recoiling from a selfie lol? but for real tho, i think it's awesome that Jenny & Sara were able to keep things chill despite some awkward moments. food is def something they could work on tho πŸ˜‚πŸ΄ like, who needs a date when u can have free snacks?? anyway, its clear these 2 r meant to be πŸ‘«
 
Blind dates can be super nerve-wracking, but what I find really cool is how Jenny and Sara didn't let their awkward moments get in the way of having a great time. They were both willing to laugh at themselves and move forward. It's all about being open-minded and not taking things too seriously, right? πŸ’‘ I think it's awesome that they gave each other high praise, even if there was one thing they'd change. That shows maturity and a willingness to work on the relationship together. And honestly, who doesn't love food, am I right? πŸ˜‚
 
lol Sara sounds like a total babe πŸ’β€β™€οΈ! I'm loving how down-to-earth Jenny is too, she seems like someone you can have a genuine laugh with. And omg that selfie fail πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ had me dying! But in all seriousness, it's so cool to see two women just having fun and being themselves on the date. The fact that they both gave each other 9/10 scores is actually kinda adorable 😊. I think it's a great reminder that even if you don't click with someone right away, it doesn't mean you won't have a good time. And can we talk about how much I need to get myself to La Camionera ASAP for some delicious food and drinks 🍴🍹?
 
I'm gonna say this but I think it's kinda weird that they had such a great time on their date and are already talking about meeting up again, but Sara basically gave Jenny a 9 instead of a perfect score? πŸ€” I mean, what if she was just trying to be nice? Or what if Jenny's energy is just infectious? Either way, it's awesome that they had fun together and are looking forward to the next adventure! 😊
 
omg can u believe jenny and saras vibe was so strong πŸ€— they literally had that undeniable chemistry from minute 1...and i love how they acknowledged the awkward moments, like taking that selfie πŸ“Έ (lol, me too!), but it's clear they both knew how to laugh at themselves & have a good time. anyway, more food on that date would've been awesome, am i right? πŸ˜‚
 
πŸ€” They seem like a perfect match πŸ‘«, fun, witty, and genuine 🌟. More food next time for sure πŸ˜‚! Their vibes are really positive, I love how they can laugh at themselves and have fun together πŸ’•. Sara sounds like an amazing person, so kind and likable 😊. Jenny's energy is infectious! Maybe a second date soon? πŸ˜‰
 
πŸ€” I'm not convinced about this whole "Blind Date" thing... how do we really know these two women didn't just have a pre-arranged meetup? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ And what's with the 10/10 score? How did The Guardian measure that, exactly? Did they ask both parties for an evaluation? πŸ“ Also, I've seen some pretty sketchy "reviews" on their social media profiles... is this just a clever PR stunt? 🎭
 
omg i totally feel them about that desert island thing 🀣 but seriously Sara and Jenny are def low-key goals they had such a great vibe and it's easy to see why Sara would want to introduce Jenny to her friends she seems like an amazing person with so much energy πŸ’– and can we talk about how cute they were on the date?? 😍 the selfie fail tho was definitely awkward but it didn't ruin anything for me i think having more food might be a small price to pay for that level of fun 🍴
