Who knows you better?

1. There are some people who are looking for a partner and they ask their mother and their best friend to help. Richard Taylor is a single man, a 26-year-old musician from Southampton. He asks his mother and his friend Danny to help him. His mother Meg chooses one girl, and his best friend Danny chooses another. Then Richard goes on a date with each girl. Which girl does he prefer? Who knows him better, his mother or his best friend? Who chooses the right girl for him?

2. ‘I usually work in England but sometimes there is some work abroad too. When I’m not working I like going to the cinema and eating in nice restaurants. I’m not very sporty and I don’t do any exercise, but at least I don’t smoke. I think I’m open and friendly – I get on well with most people – but I’m sometimes quite shy too. For example, I don’t like going to parties. I prefer to meet friends individually or in small groups. I like intelligent, funny women who make me laugh, and ideally who love music. Physically I prefer women with dark hair who are preferably not taller than me. And I like women who are good listeners.’

3. I’m sure that my friend Danny knows me better than my family because we often talk about our girlfriends and the problems we have. I don’t usually talk to my family about that kind of thing. My mum always says that I look for the wrong kind of girl but that’s what mothers always say!
