Sam, 31, rewritten.
This is a complete rewrite for a made-up person called Sam, built from the twelve answers below the way a real order is. Nothing here is a template: every line comes from an answer. Use it as a guide if you would rather write your own.
Sam's answers (shortened)
- App: Hinge. Looking for: a relationship. Age: 30–34. Tone: warm with a bit of wit.
- About: nurse on night shifts in Bristol; weekends are a late breakfast, a long walk, a pub quiz on Sundays.
- Three things: trying to learn to surf in Cornwall once a month; cooking one big Sunday breakfast; Mario Kart with housemates.
- Friends' story: "the one who always picks a pub by its crisps and is never wrong."
- Wants: someone kind who follows through, sends the article not just the link; dealbreaker: rude to waiters.
- Photos: wedding (clear face), surfing (far away), gym mirror, with housemates, a breakfast spread.
The bio
Nurse on nights, which means I make a very good 3pm breakfast. Learning to surf badly in Cornwall one weekend a month. Will beat you at Mario Kart and be gracious about it.
Three prompts, each with two spares
The way to win me over is
Pick the restaurant. I will happily eat anywhere; I just hate being the one who chooses.
Spare: Know a pub by its crisps. I am told I am never wrong about this.
Spare: Be nice to the waiter. That is most of it, honestly.
I'm looking for
Someone who sends the article, not just the link. Weekend walks that end at a pub are a plus.
Spare: Someone who says they will come to the quiz and then comes to the quiz.
Spare: Kind, curious, free on Sundays.
Together we could
Do the big Sunday shop and still forget the one thing we went in for.
Spare: Fail at surfing in the same wave, then dry off with chips.
Spare: Win the quiz. Or at least beat the table of accountants who always win the quiz.
The opener Sam can send first
"Important question before anything else: crisps at a pub, which flavour, and are you prepared to defend it?"
Photo order
- The wedding photo first: a clear face, smiling, no sunglasses.
- The surf photo second: it is the story, even if you are far away.
- The housemates photo: you must be obvious in it; crop if not.
- The breakfast spread: it backs up the bio line.
- Drop the gym mirror. It says nothing the others do not say better.
Why these words
Every line gives someone an easy reply: the crisps, the quiz, the restaurant choice, the breakfast. Nothing is invented, so there is nothing to walk back on a first date. The tone is Sam's own answers, tidied.
