LUCKY DIp<br />
29<br />
LUCKY DIP is CANTA’s brand new, totally not stolen blind date feature.<br />
This is a chance <strong>for</strong> UC students to find love, lust, and more importantly free Italian food.<br />
HOW IT WORKS: Two strangers, free dinner and drinks at Spags, and a written summary<br />
from each person that we broadcast to the world.<br />
ONE SIDE<br />
The evening began with a few cheeky wines out on the<br />
front deck with the gals, I knew it was a bit of a stitch up but<br />
sometimes you’ve just got to put yourself out there.<br />
Being the only single member of the family mum was thrilled<br />
that her eldest daughter was finally now on the quest <strong>for</strong> love,<br />
but if she had seen the drunken mess I was tripping out of<br />
the car and arriving fifteen minutes late to the restaurant she<br />
would not have been a happy lady.<br />
My date screamed ‘lad’ from the get go, ordering the spiciest<br />
food on the menu like he had a point to prove whilst spinning<br />
some ridiculous yarn about how he only likes red wine, he was<br />
oh so cultured. His ef<strong>for</strong>t at playing catch up was incredibly<br />
subpar on the alcohol front and on hearing that<br />
he was part of the intimate College House circle,<br />
this did not surprise me at all. He managed<br />
to slip in the conversation that he was 6 ft. 2<br />
which not going to lie is a big point scorer <strong>for</strong><br />
me, however because words such as lit, fam,<br />
breather and the phrase “stay scarfie” were<br />
tossed around so much it almost wiped half a<br />
foot off of his height.<br />
There wasn’t a quiet moment as it seemed we were both<br />
gifted with the ability to talk a ridiculous amount of shit,<br />
and I was extremely impressed as it’s not often I come across<br />
someone who talks more than I do. But then again, fuckboiz are<br />
generally blessed with the gift of the gab. All in all was a laugh,<br />
even though there are some patches I struggle to remember.<br />
Just some sneaky parting words to the man of the evening.<br />
Stay Humble x Cheers Canta!<br />
THE OTHER SIDE<br />
After a long hard day of getting swoll in the gym and tanning<br />
my rig to perfection, I chucked on my best pair of stubbies to<br />
see what this lovely broad had in store <strong>for</strong> me. After deleting a<br />
significant amount of piss pre-date, I was sufficiently lubricated<br />
and ready to give this a go.<br />
Like the gentleman I am, I delivered myself to the restaurant<br />
15 minutes early, just to make sure she wouldn’t have to wait<br />
on her own (boyfriend material). The lass turned up around<br />
10 minutes later, moist and ready <strong>for</strong> a night of activities. We<br />
ordered a great feed, and I was thoroughly impressed by the<br />
sheer amount of food she could consume, I was really starting<br />
to get into this girl. However she wouldn’t budge. I used all my<br />
best one liners including “you don’t look too shit tonight” and<br />
“you can fit a lot in that mouth can’t you”, but<br />
none of them helped me get to the next base.<br />
In a moment of desperateness, I went to the<br />
bathroom,<br />
quickly got on tinder, swiped right to every<br />
man and his dog, and effectively chatted some<br />
fresher-to-be to pick me up. In a swift attempt<br />
to avoid being seen, I popped out the back door,<br />
left her the bill and continued to top the night off how every<br />
lad dreams off - vomiting in the car and being told to piss off<br />
you pervert. They say chivalry is dead, but I just think girls<br />
need to lower their standards.<br />

CANTA CUPID SAYS:<br />
Yeah, something isn’t adding up here. We<br />
know <strong>for</strong> a fact the date was paid <strong>for</strong>, and<br />
the guy was pushing 5’8 on a good day...<br />
Maybe we’ll leave these two on their own<br />
path to love, pre-loading and Italian food.<br />
Keep swiping right, I guess!<br />
