My Own Dating Interview:

Narrator: “Hi-and welcome along to another dating profile. I have with me a guy called Ben, whose hoping he’ll find love online”.

Ben: “Howdy, thanks for having me along-and most importantly, thanks to all those currently reading this.”

Narrator (looking perplexed): “Howdy? Who says ‘Howdy’?”

Ben: “Well, I do sometimes. Anyway, is there any chance we could crack on with the interview rather than being bogged down in linguistic minutia?”

Narrator: “You ought to know your place-I decide the questions-and if I want to ask about linguistics, I will. Anyway, could you give a description of yourself?”

Ben: “Sure. I’m a good-looking, super talented”.

Narrator: “a truthful description would be nice-and keep it brief, I’ve got my dinner in the oven”.

Ben: “If you’ll let me finish, I’m a good-looking, super talented, loaded businessman, trapped in the body and life of an average looking, slightly annoying local radio presenter. I’m politically liberal, but personally conservative, with an open mind to all cultures.”

Narrator: “Apparently your career is important to you-can you explain what you do exactly?”

Ben: “I play songs and annoy people by talking in between. In all seriousness, I do work as a radio presenter, I currently hold down 7 shows all in all for a couple of tinpot local stations, though I also have a national networked show in the pipeline. You can listen in.”

Narrator: “This is a dating profile, not a free opportunity to plug your radio programmes. What music do you like?”

Ben: “All sorts, from 19th century Wax Cylinders to Heavy Metal-and everything in between. Seriously, get me talking about music and I could wax lyrical all day about my favourites.”

Narrator (having regretted asking): “Changing topic, could you reassure the kind people visiting this profile that you’re not glued to a radio desk 24/7, by telling them what you do in your free time?”

Ben: “I enjoy History, particularly the history of Russia, the US and the UK. I’m a big fan of Alternate History as well-and I’m currently in the process of writing an Alternate History story, based around the Suffrage movement. I also present/produce a monthly podcast on various Alternate History subjects. I practice Astrology too, despite being a relative novice at it.”

Narrator (mockingly laughing): “You’re not telling me you seriously believe in all that rubbish?”

Ben (in a defensive tone): “uh… yes, I am, actually. I was a sceptic as well a while ago, but having done some research, I gradually shifted my opinion”.

Narrator (while glancing at his watch): “Fascinating. For the record, that really embarrassing rap album you recorded while you were at school hasn’t been totally confined to the dustbin as you hoped it was. I have a copy-and if I burn my dinner, it’ll be up online for all to squirm at before you can say hiphop. With this in mind, as quickly as you can, could you list your other hobbies?”.

Ben (defensively again): “You’re bluffing on the rap album-I personally destroyed all evidence of that. Anyhow, I enjoy watching TV (mainly comedies and documentary type programmes), visiting theme parks, eating out at restaurants, eating take-aways, quiet dinners with friends and family (okay, I like my food), reading/writing, and swimming.”

Narrator (rubbing stomach): “You hinted earlier on that you’re into politics-I’d like to explore that in more depth. If you could, what political reforms would you implement?”

Ben: “I’d instigate multilateral Nuclear Disarmament, introduce compulsory Media Studies in Secondary schools and bring in legislation to deal with mental health more effectively”.

Narrator (in a disgusted tone): “All pie in the sky idealism then-I for one am glad you’ll never reside in number 10 as you’d leave a daily Male reader like me foaming at the mouth! If you were having a dinner party and could invite 5 well-known people, dead or alive, who would they be?”

Ben: “Isn't foaming at the mouth what you guys enjoy the most? Regarding your question on the dinner party, my picks would be Kevin Greening, Queen Elizabeth The 1st, Bradley Wiggins, Hannah Whittall Smith and William Gladstone. I must say, I’m surprised you asked me such a question given how peckish you are.”

Narrator (in a frustrated voice): “Please, please, pa-lease Stop reminding me. Okay, so now for the big question-what are you looking for on this site exactly?”

Ben: “A life-spanning, 100 % monogamous, totally equal partnership, including marriage-eventually. While I’m also open to making platonic friends along the way, I'm not personally interested in anything casual-and I won't go anywhere near a relationship-or continue one unless I believe it has the real potential of longevity."

Narrator: “What in your opinion, makes a strong relationship?”

Ben: “Acceptance of each other’s faults, moods and quirks, trust and communication are up there, especially the ability to listen to each other and laugh with one another. Also, I think being comfortable in each other’s silence is a definite signal of strength.”

Narrator (yawning): “Anyway, moving on as all this serious talk about relationships is making my brain ache, not to mention ruining my image. Do you have a ‘type’?”

Ben: “Not really, no, though I do have a soft spot for certain accents.”

Narrator: “Such as?”.

Ben: “I like the Russian accent-and am more than partial to French Canadian, closer to home I have a soft spot for Geordie and Yorkshire. If a voice is relatively pleasant to listen to though, I’d be more than happy as long as we’re compatible.”

Narrator: “Well, we’re coming to the end of this interview-have you anything else to say?”

Ben: “The only thing I’d add is that I hope to hear from you if you’re interested in getting to know me better-if not, good luck with finding what you're after on this site anyway!”

Narrator: “Well, looks like we’re just in time for me to tuck into my unburnt dinner, luckily for you. That said, for those interested, Ben has many embarrassing secrets, I strongly advise you to do some discrete digging…”

What do you like most about where you currently live?

It's the largest village in the UK-that's a pretty cool fact if you ask me!

Where in the world would you love to visit?

The U.S, Finland, Ecuador, Russia, Norway, Canada, Spain, Africa and Cyprus amongst others, would be interested to explore a lot more of the UK too.

What would you do on an ideal date?

Well, firstly, I'd much rather hang out than go on an official date. I need to be friends with someone before entertaining the idea of a relationship-so a no pressure style gettogether makes more sense for the early days. As for what we do when we first meet up, we'll talk nearer the time-but I'm happy to do most things.

What has been the highlight of your life so far?

Graduation is up there (both the ceremony and the great night out afterwards)! Having said that, I subscribe to the philosophy that my best days are in front of me, not behind me.

What are you looking forward to in the future?

In the immediate future? gonna make myself a cup of tea in a few minutes.
In the near future- starting a relationship/furthering my career, setting up a radio production company, seeing a bit more of the world and arranging a sky-dive.
If we're talking long-term, I'd say enjoying a lasting marriage (and being quietly but totally uxorious in the process!), exploring other countries, breaking into national radio, breaking the record for the longest continuous show, developing my production company and just generally enjoying life to the full.

What are your guilty pleasures?

Abba, Fresh Cream Cakes, Legally Blond (studied it at Uni believe it or not), Prime Minister's Question Time, The Sound Of Music, finding out about crackpot conspiracy theories (only to end up disagreeing with them) and having a Quarter Pounder from McDonalds (very occasionally).
