Laurine and Theo Rate Guardian Blind Date 7 and 8, Agreeing to Meet Only as Friends

Summary
Laurine gave the date 7/10 and Theo 8/10 after dinner at Rossella in London, but both said they would meet again only as friends because there was no romantic spark.
Politics, inheritance tax and dream-farm animals drove the conversation, with both describing the other as chatty and engaged; Theo said the discussion felt unusually judgment-free for a first date.
No kiss followed the evening, though they walked back to the station together and exchanged numbers after staying until they were among the last in the restaurant.
The pairing appeared in the Guardian’s long-running Blind date column, which matches two strangers for dinner and publishes their separate verdicts each week.
