In our weekly experiment, single people who are looking for a partner aske their mother
and their best friend to help.

This week’s single person is Charlotte Ramirez, a 25-year-old web designer. Her father is
Spanish and her mother is English. She lives in Brighton and she doesn’t have a partner at
the moment. Her mother, Alice, chooses a man she thinks is perfect for her daughter and
her best friend. Katie, chooses another. Then Charlotte goes on a date with each man.
Which one does she prefer?

‘I love going to the cinema, but I often feel like staying at home with a good book,’ says
Charlotte, ‘I’m quite friendly and sociable and I get on well with most people. I think I have a
good sense of humour.’
‘What kind of men do I like? Well, I like interesting men who can make me laugh. Physically, I
prefer men with a really nice smile who are taller than me. And I don’t usually like men with
beards! I like men who are into literature and art, and classical music.’

‘I’m not sure who is going to choose better for me. Both my mum and my best friend know
me very well. Perhaps Katie could find me a guy who is physically more compatible, but my
mother has known me for longer.’
