Diana
Where do you live? Kisaasi
Occupation: Student
Favourite colour: Blue
Favourite local artiste: Bebe Cool
Role model: Sylvia Owori
Most embarassing moment: When a lecturer sent me out of class when my phone rang
What do you think people find attractive about you? My eyes
What would you like your mystery date to be? He should have a posh car


I reached Choma and could not trace my date. I sat at a table near the entrance and kept wondering what sort of person I was about to meet.

I imagined he would be a huge tall man and wondered what I would tell him. I was, however, ready for anybody. A few minutes later, a waitress came to take my order and when I told her I was supposed to meet someone, she went and brought my date.

He was the opposite of what I expected. He was tall but skinny! Nevertheless, I welcomed him and we started chatting.

He asked whether I had a boyfriend and I said I did. He wondered how my boyfriend would feel if he saw me on a date, but I told him it was okay.

From our discussion, I realized he was a very knowledgeable, intelligent and social guy.

My only disappointment was his size and unkempt hair. I like medium-sized men.

He called me the next day and we have spoken on phone a number of times.

I was ready for anyone who would turn out to be my date although I expected a medium-sized young lady.

I got there before her and when she arrived, I did not think she was the one because she came with another man. I later learnt he was her brother.

When they entered, I was not bothered about them because I expected my date to come on her own. They sat at a table a few metres away.

A few minutes later, a waitress came and led me to their table. Diana was very charming and received me well. Before I sat down, I asked whether she was my date and she answered in the affirmative. She then told her brother to leave us alone.

She asked whether I had a girlfriend and I told her we had separated. She then tried to comfort me saying my ex was not meant for me.

When she said she had a boyfriend, I asked whether he would be comfortable with her going out with someone else. She said he was a nice, calm person who would not be disturbed by such a simple thing. I asked whether I could meet him and she said he was a very busy person and that it would be hard.

I think she is a responsible and social person who likes meeting new people.

However, she could not stay long enough for dinner because she was rushing home. We exchanged contacts and we have been in touch.
