After some initial chit chat and ordering our drinks I ask Lena, “Do you have any questions”? “Oh yes!” she replied, reaching for her iPad. “In fact, I have a whole list.” For the next half an hour or so Lena and I worked off her list of questions, one by one. Mostly innocent questions about our clients, how we organise dates, what she could or could not ask, etc. etc. I could have happily spent more time with Lena but unfortunately decided to cut our meeting short and send her home to study for her university exam the next day.

Fast forward three weeks, Lena and I were able to meet for a second time. She arrived wearing a lovely summer dress… with Converse sneakers 😅 “I came by bus and it was easier to wear these,” she said. “But I brought heels in my bag. Shall I wear them? “Nah! that’s fine,” I said, as we began to walk towards the restaurant that she chose for us. Lucky for me, it was a windy evening and I managed to get a sneak peek under Lena’s dress. 🤫 😁

Finally, we sat down to chat once again. During our dinner I got the chance to get to know Lena a little bit better. I learned that she loves France and would love to live there one day, that she used to be a professional athlete competing in national championships and is still very sporty till this day, and that she has a passion for travel and the sciences. Colour me impressed!

Needless to say, I was so keen to get Lena on the A-team that I organised a try-out date for her with a more experienced Aphrodite connoisseur.

Some of his feedback included, and I quote:

“The first impression you get when you see her arriving with her backpack is ‘Wow, what a sweet, natural, and unpretentious girl’".

“What charmed me most was this kind of freshness that emanates from her. “

“She has a healthy xxx appetite and tells you with German precision what she likes… censored”

And there you have it, gentlemen! Lena is already quite the Aphrodite star!
