9th February 20218th February 2021Lucie de Gentile

Image Description: Date Tonight Cafe logo with a cupid floating to its side I don’t know about you, but lockdown has really made me feel like I have had plenty of “quality” time with myself, or at least experiences of self-realisation which have brought varying degrees of pleasure – and pain!

31st January 202130th January 2021Elsie Clark and Sonia Richter

Image description: A mix of newspaper cuttings with the words ‘agony aunts’ written in block letters. This week, Elsie and Sonia are feeling a little… romantic.

A few months ago, I went on a first date with a white man. We decided to go to the pub, very casual. About ten minutes in, completely unsolicited, he launched into a speech about his fascination with Hong Kong (if you’re wondering how he knew about my family ties to Hong Kong, it was […]

As an English student, I got the chance to live the exotic European life over the past year, more specifically in France and Portugal.

All you need is love (and a Blue, and a First)

19th May 201915th November 2020Elle Styler

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an Oxford student nearing graduation must be in want of three things: a First, a Blue, or a spouse.

Jessica Carbino is everything you would expect a tinder sociologist to be: very American, confident, beautiful, and clearly extremely intelligent.
