00:00Jodie, you can't call them that.
00:02...meets the chemistry of romance.
00:05Do you fucking flick things?
00:07These hopeful singletons are about to take a brave step into the unknown.
00:14He has hair.
00:15He has hair.
00:17Sparks could fly.
00:19Bit more spice than I was coming for.
00:22I'm sorry, I can't stop looking at you.
00:24Passions could ignite.
00:26Her eyes are just like blue.
00:28Or burn to ashes.
00:30I was going to ask you who your favourite serial killer is later.
00:33I have a list.
00:35But if the right elements combine, hearts melt.
00:40You're sweet enough to be dessert, we don't need dessert.
00:43And magic happens.
00:49On behalf of my team, welcome.
00:58We, we can find a place to feel good.
01:05You know, guys, it's a big deal to put yourself out there, leaving yourself, I guess, open and vulnerable.
01:11I think it's amazing that people are doing it.
01:13I got a good feeling.
01:16I think we all have doubts about ourselves.
01:19They either like you or they don't.
01:21You need to be able to be happy by yourself.
01:22But when you're with someone, you can create more happiness.
01:26You need to put yourself out there in order to find that happiness.
01:30Stop it!
01:31It can be really scary.
01:32But, like, go for it.
01:35Let's do this.
01:36Let's make love happen.
01:46Richard used to feel there was something missing from his life.
01:50But not anymore.
01:51I think I've been in deep love, but not with myself, you know?
01:54So I needed both.
01:59You want to pass me a jacket?
02:00Oh, yeah, that'd be great, thank you.
02:01How long have you been single?
02:03Two years now, I think.
02:05Well, look at you going back to the classics, huh?
02:07I needed the time to really find out who I was and what I wanted from myself more than trying to find it from other people.
02:15The only problem is if it, like, bounces up and goes flying to the ceiling, you're looking at it.
02:18Bing!
02:20And do you think that's something that you managed to achieve?
02:23Yeah, definitely.
02:24Let's go.
02:25Next one.
02:26Are you nervous about the prospect of a blind date?
02:28No.
02:29What's the worst that can happen?
02:30I know I'm great, so it doesn't really matter beyond that, you know?
02:35How are things?
02:36Hi, how are you?
02:37I'm good.
02:38I'm Neil.
02:39Nice to meet you, Richard.
02:40Richard, lovely to meet you.
02:41How are you feeling?
02:42I feel okay.
02:43I always decide to know what energy to bring to it, you know?
02:44What energy would you like to bring to it?
02:45Myself.
02:47Okay.
02:48Is that something that's important to you?
02:49The energy that someone gives off?
02:50Absolutely.
02:51What else is there?
02:52As long as that's positive, I think that's all that really matters.
02:55What's your normal type?
02:57Doesn't...
02:58You don't have a type.
02:59But if you had a celebrity crush, would you pick somebody?
03:02No.
03:03You've none at all.
03:04Sure, I don't know them, so how could I really see them?
03:06Looks-wise, you don't have to marry them, here and now.
03:09I think to put expectations on someone and their looks, it's kind of reducing them.
03:12Mmm.
03:13I think for some people, I'm too much.
03:15Like, I'm quite direct and I kind of ask questions that maybe are a bit hard for people to answer.
03:21So do you know kind of what you're looking for straight away today?
03:24No.
03:25No?
03:26No.
03:27You're just going to go with the flow?
03:28I think it's the only way to go through life.
03:29Mmm, okay.
03:32With Kiva, there's no need to read between the lines.
03:36She's totally uncensored.
03:38Now I'm a fairly open book.
03:40What you see is what you get.
03:43I don't have, like, topics that I don't discuss with people.
03:47Which, I guess, sometimes can get me in a bit of trouble.
03:50Hello.
03:51What's your name?
03:52Kiva.
03:53You look lovely today.
03:55So do you, Mateo.
03:56I need a good flirt and banter back and forth.
03:58There's nothing that makes me happier than a good flirt.
04:01Should we do this?
04:02Yeah, why not?
04:03Let's go, let's go.
04:04And do you think you're a good date?
04:06Well, I've never had a bad date, so I don't know if that's me or if I've just been lucky.
04:13All right, now.
04:14Hello.
04:15Nice to meet you.
04:16Hi, too.
04:17Kiva.
04:18Nice to meet you.
04:19How are you?
04:20I'm good.
04:21I'm good.
04:22It's been a bit of a surreal kind of process.
04:23I know.
04:24It's mindful, isn't it?
04:25I like your hair.
04:26Thanks very much.
04:27I was like up or down, up or down.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Yeah.
04:30I was the same, so.
04:31Yeah.
04:32I normally go for guys with longer hair.
04:35I really like the kind of shy, yet confident guy that can go in deep and talk about feelings
04:42and all of that kind of stuff.
04:43So what do you do for a living?
04:45I just graduated as a primary school teacher.
04:47Oh, wow.
04:48Oh, nice.
04:49How about you?
04:50Yeah.
04:51I'm a falconer, so I work over in, yeah.
04:55I work with Birds of Prey, hence the tattoo.
04:58That's the bar.
04:59I know.
05:00That's so cool.
05:01It always feels like I'm bragging.
05:03Well, I think you should own it, right?
05:05That's amazing.
05:06Yeah.
05:07That's the tattoo.
05:13To every date, law student Brian applies the same golden rule.
05:21Be kind.
05:22It doesn't take much to make, like, the world a better place.
05:27The dream would be doing some humanitarian work.
05:31Hopefully have a partner who I get on with.
05:34And if I could learn to sing, I'd be on Eurovision in a heartbeat.
05:39What's your name?
05:40I'm Brian.
05:41Brian.
05:42How do you feel, Brian?
05:43Stunning.
05:44Living, laughing, loving.
05:45How are you?
05:46What makes me a good date?
05:48Let's go, then, you know?
05:50I'm good for a compliment.
05:51If I think of something nice about someone, I'll say, I like your shirt, and I'll mean it.
05:54So if it is a waste of an hour, maybe you've gotten a smidge more confidence.
05:58Enjoy.
05:59Hi, how are you?
06:00I'm Neil.
06:01Nice to meet you, Neil.
06:02I love your moustache.
06:03And Cruz is shaking in his boots.
06:06I'd love for someone to be warm.
06:08And I love gingers.
06:09But that's bonus points.
06:10It's not, like, an exclusionary policy.
06:13I don't know, should I drink before he arrives?
06:15Because what if he's, like, Mormon?
06:16That's not your problem.
06:17Very true.
06:18Yeah.
06:19That's okay.
06:20Why do you think you're single?
06:21I'm a bit odd.
06:22So maybe they're not interested in me.
06:24And I'm also looking for someone who, like, matches that kind of oddness.
06:28And I'm not finding it.
06:29If Thomas finds himself a nice guy, there could be wedding bells in the air.
06:39Guys I tend to go after, they tend to be not good people.
06:42So I'd rather see what someone else can do.
06:48The be-all and end-all is I would love a long-term relationship.
06:51Short-term girls is I do have a lot of weddings coming up.
06:54And I have a lot of plus one invitations.
06:56So plus one to the wedding would be great.
07:00Hiya.
07:01Welcome.
07:02Your name is?
07:03Thomas.
07:04Welcome, Thomas.
07:05How are you feeling?
07:06Good.
07:07A bit nervous.
07:08Aye, okay, man.
07:09The kind of fella I'd be looking for would be someone who is a nice person.
07:13Someone who's taller than me.
07:15Slightly darker hair.
07:17All right.
07:18Follow me.
07:19And they just be able to carry a conversation as well.
07:22Ta-ta-ta-ta!
07:23Hey, how are you?
07:24Very good.
07:25Nice to meet you. I'm Brian.
07:26Thomas.
07:27Thomas?
07:28Yeah.
07:29What a great name.
07:30That's actually my confirmation name.
07:31Is it actually?
07:32Yes.
07:33I'm a big fan of the name Thomas.
07:34I love the jacket.
07:35Very colourful.
07:37Where are you from?
07:38I'm from Cork.
07:39Oh, cool.
07:40What part?
07:41Blarney.
07:42The north side.
07:43I know where it is.
07:44I was like the stone.
07:45I was like, I know where it is.
07:46I know where it is.
07:47I'm from Lucan.
07:48Lucan.
07:49Okay.
07:50Long-distance relationship.
07:51And what do you do?
07:52Do you count with them?
07:53Or is it just like...
07:54People come in and they're like, they don't even know what to expect.
07:59And you're just like, oh, here's a bird.
08:01There you go.
08:02Now we're going to go out and fly it.
08:04When I like someone, I get like really giddy and silly and I just lose my train of thought.
08:18It's a great job because at the end of the day, like, I could be the most boring person
08:22in the universe and people would...
08:23I don't think you've got that in you.
08:25That's the first impression.
08:27I don't think that's quite up your alley.
08:29And how would we know that you fancy someone?
08:34I think I'm a very visual person.
08:35Like, I think it's written all across my face anyway.
08:37Like, there's no getting away from it, really.
08:41Are you still looking to go into primary school teaching?
08:44Like, I love working with kids.
08:46Like, I was a children's nurse and I'm a primary school teacher.
08:48I started to do my undergrad in nursing.
08:50And like, I was working on a go firm selling ice cream.
08:52But I was like, I'm so much happier here than in the hospital.
08:55And I went off and I tried to be like a poet and a musician for a bit.
08:58But then, like, the money just runs out, like...
09:01So you dipped your toes in a few different...
09:03But I don't think I'm done dipping, you know?
09:05Yeah.
09:06I'm a huge believer in fate.
09:08Everything kind of happens for a reason.
09:11Like, if I went to go on this date and I couldn't make it,
09:14or I was really late and something happened,
09:16then, like, I would just take that as fate.
09:18Like, it just wasn't meant to be.
09:20Absolutely.
09:21Whereas, you know, we both made it.
09:23We're both here.
09:24You know?
09:25Meant to be.
09:27You're more of a starter and a main kind of person,
09:30or are you more main than dessert?
09:31You know, I've only ever had a starter, like, once in my life, I think.
09:34I'm actually neutral either way.
09:35If you want to choose, I'll just follow you.
09:36Hang on.
09:37Did you say you've only had a starter once in your life?
09:38Yeah.
09:39I always think it was like a trick by the company
09:41to sell you, like, 10 euros naan bread.
09:42You know what I mean?
09:43No.
09:44Like, a nice soup and bread before your meal, it goes a long way.
09:47I can't eat dairy though, so soup is like lies, propaganda.
09:50It's a trick.
09:51It's a trick.
09:52Actually, before I forget, I didn't want to bring flowers,
09:54because what if you're allergic to, like, pollen?
09:56Okay.
09:57And if I brought dairy and you're, like, allergic, if you're vegan, what then?
09:58Yeah.
09:59So I got this key shade that I thought was nice, because I had, like, a memento.
10:14I'm going to try it in my pocket for now, because I don't have anywhere else to put it.
10:20I think I come across overly eager, which I tend not to be internally.
10:25So maybe the chill people think I'm way more interested than I am,
10:29and the people who are looking to latch on to someone think,
10:31oh, we got him now.
10:34I think people perceive me as very analytical,
10:37because, like, I'd be autistic, right?
10:40So I think the way I think is just a little bit different to other people.
10:44It's kind of like my default settings are different.
10:46Sometimes everyone's on the same wavelength but me,
10:48and I might have to ask a few more questions to make sure I know what's happening.
10:51Yeah.
10:52I'm well able for all the things everyone else can do,
10:54but maybe not under their system if I don't give myself time to learn it.
10:59It doesn't make me less than, it just makes me different.
11:01I don't want people to misinterpret me.
11:03Yeah.
11:04So if I have to make sure I'm checking with people every so often,
11:05make sure I have their thinking.
11:07Yeah, I catch it.
11:08There are some people who are literally vibing,
11:10and you'll be great,
11:11and you'll see autism,
11:12and they'll be like, oh,
11:13and it's like a dimmer switches off.
11:16I did a degree in chemistry.
11:17Okay.
11:18I feel like nowadays people are getting more over it.
11:20With chemistry, everything is so detailed.
11:23You're always just constantly analyzing things.
11:26If you connect with someone, you connect with someone.
11:27It doesn't matter who you are.
11:29I mean, it's a good place for chemistry.
11:31Up to now, first dates haven't really worked out for Tony.
11:46So, what are you doing here?
11:48Oh, God, where do I start?
11:50I'm single just five years, and I have been on every single date
11:57and website that you can imagine.
11:59I just can't seem to find somebody.
12:02Hello.
12:03Hello.
12:04And I thought, why not?
12:06What's your name, madam?
12:07My name is Tony.
12:08Tony?
12:09Tony, yep.
12:10With an I.
12:11I don't pick up signals.
12:12Oh, you can wear that green, which is nice.
12:15Yes.
12:17And my fancy shoes.
12:18I mean, somebody could have rose petals on a bed
12:21and be lying there.
12:23You know, and I still, I'd be going, is this for me?
12:26Hello.
12:27How are you?
12:28I'm good.
12:29How are you?
12:30Good, good.
12:31Nostache.
12:32Oh.
12:34It really does it.
12:35Thank you very much.
12:37What's the worst thing that could happen on the date?
12:39That he'd be born.
12:41I'd probably have to get up and leave.
12:43Listen, it was nice.
12:44Thanks.
12:46All right.
12:47I think I have to get you a date, huh?
12:49Do you really?
12:52I like a burly guy.
12:53I'm grand.
12:54I'm doing well.
12:55I'm just a guy who can give me a big cuddle
12:57and who doesn't make me feel like if I roll over in the bed
13:00I'll suffocate him at night time.
13:02Oh, yes.
13:07There's nothing cuddlier than a big old bunny.
13:10And that's exactly what Biff brings to every date.
13:13Yes, I have a tattoo.
13:15You want to see it?
13:19I got it when I was 16.
13:21How did I not pull the women?
13:23Like, seriously?
13:24No regrets whatsoever.
13:26It's character building.
13:27How are you?
13:28What's your name, maestro?
13:29Biff.
13:30Biff.
13:31Biff.
13:32Biff?
13:33Biff.
13:34I never heard of Biff.
13:35I'm unique.
13:36Tell me why it comes for a state's restaurant.
13:38When it goes horrifically wrong, I can blame somebody else
13:41and not take my own responsibility.
13:43And I think I have a right...
13:45I hope I have a right person for you.
13:46Well, you're better or there'll be a refund
13:48and a strongly-worded letter.
13:51It's just hard to actually meet people, real people.
13:54And I'd say I'm better in reality than on paper.
14:01Hello, how are you?
14:02How are you?
14:03Oh, you're so good.
14:04How do we greet?
14:05I don't know.
14:06Yes.
14:07We do hug.
14:08How are kings?
14:09I'm good, how are you?
14:10What's your name?
14:11Tony.
14:12Tony.
14:13Biff.
14:14Biff.
14:15Like...
14:16Like in whiff, only with a B.
14:17I was born as Brendan.
14:18I suppose I was Antoinette.
14:19But nobody calls me, though.
14:21So what do you do?
14:22I work for a charity.
14:24Support childcare.
14:25Oh, okay.
14:26You've got a lot of grafting to do here.
14:28You've got a special lady.
14:29Yeah, I know.
14:31We're going fine there.
14:32Then you just put all this pressure on top of me.
14:34Where have you come from?
14:38Literally up the road.
14:39There you go.
14:40Two minutes away.
14:41Nice and local.
14:42And what about you?
14:43Out in Dunleary.
14:44The borough.
14:45Push it, push it, push it.
14:46I'm so posh.
14:47I'm so posh.
14:48I really don't.
14:49In your box room, your eyes out.
14:50It actually is so true.
14:53So you're practically living at home?
14:55It's hell.
14:56Hell.
14:57I was married, and now I'm not.
15:00But, yeah, look, it's the means to an end.
15:03Suck it up.
15:04Oh, look.
15:05We fancy glasses.
15:06We're in a fancy place.
15:07We'll count now, knickers.
15:08Sorry me lie.
15:09She's so true.
15:10She's so true.
15:11She's so true.
15:12She's so true.
15:13She's so true.
15:14So you have two brothers?
15:15Yeah.
15:16Must have been chaos in that household with three boys.
15:19I think I was chaos.
15:20Yeah, you were the chaos.
15:21I was chaos.
15:22I was chaos.
15:23I was chaos.
15:24I was chaos.
15:25I was chaos.
15:26I was chaos.
15:27I was chaos.
15:28I was chaos.
15:29Oh, yeah.
15:30Middletrial syndrome.
15:31Middletrial Scorpio.
15:32I was like...
15:33Mmm, there's Scorpio too.
15:34Oh, yeah.
15:35Are you Scorpio too?
15:36Oh, yeah.
15:37Are you Scorpio as well?
15:38Oh, my God.
15:39No, I'm an Aquarius.
15:40Oh, yeah.
15:41My ex was a Scorpio though.
15:42Yeah, we're a lot.
15:43I won't judge.
15:44I don't believe there's just one person and I need to find that one person.
16:13I think you can find someone that you're compatible with and if the timing's right then you can
16:20work and build on a relationship.
16:22Do you like to travel much?
16:23I went to South America.
16:24Right.
16:25So that was nice but I think I'm like a Buddhist so I think I'd love to like go to India and
16:30Japan.
16:31They'd be my two big places I'd love to go to and just really kind of explore that and a
16:34bit more depth.
16:35When did you find Buddhism?
16:36About two years ago.
16:37Oh, okay.
16:38It was after a breakup and I was like, I don't want to be this person anymore.
16:42So were you like quite a different person back then?
16:45Yes.
16:46I was just told flat out, your ego is a big problem.
16:51I was just going through a script of life, you know?
16:53Yeah, yeah.
16:54So I started reading like the Bible, I started reading like Hinduism and then in a Buddhist
16:58book I was like, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
17:00The problem is that I can't sit with myself.
17:03I was super conditioned to like think one sort of way and then it like became very transparent
17:07that that wasn't me at all.
17:08Yeah.
17:09So I went home and I got up and I ran like a marathon.
17:11Wow.
17:12And I was like, okay, well then I can do like anything, right?
17:14This is like a whole new world and it's like every day I put myself out of my comfort zone
17:18and do something that I never would have dreamed of doing that's hard.
17:21And every day I come out of it feeling amazing.
17:25So you run marathons?
17:26I do.
17:27Yeah, I have an Ironman next week.
17:28Oh, no way.
17:29Yeah.
17:30I got to hand out medals to Ironman once.
17:32So you're like Lycra is okay, is it?
17:35Yeah.
17:36Oh, God.
17:44So, what is your dating history like?
17:47You know, I do go on a date and I do enjoy them and I like most people I meet.
17:52Yeah.
17:53But I just don't feel like I'm like clicking with people.
17:55I don't know.
17:56I've never had a boyfriend.
17:57No, neither one.
17:58Oh, lovely.
17:59And what's your dating history like?
18:00Um, it's not great.
18:01Like the last date I went on was over a year ago.
18:04Okay.
18:05I've never been in a relationship or anything like that.
18:07I've gotten the dates but I haven't gotten any further.
18:10I've been on good dates but I've also been on bad dates.
18:12So it's just, there's no in between like.
18:14I've been stood up.
18:16I've had one where after the date the guy told me that he still loves his ex-boyfriend
18:20and then went back to his ex.
18:22Oh, God.
18:23Oh, you know like when you're on Grindr and they're like 100 meters away
18:27and they're like, oh yeah, let's meet and then you go.
18:29And then you knock on the door and they just open and go, oh no, close it.
18:34It felt a bit like crap afterwards but just to be honest, I was like, yeah, maybe that
18:37wouldn't have gone down well.
18:39It just doesn't vibe or I get the ick.
18:42What gives you the ick?
18:43What's, what's the, the big red flag?
18:45I don't know.
18:46I think it's just, it's different for every person.
18:48I think one time someone, someone saw my lock screen was me and my brother and my sister
18:52and they said my brother was really good looking and I was like, okay, goodbye.
18:55Yeah, I had a photo with my cousin once and I got like 50 comments saying like, oh, he's
19:00really hot.
19:01And it's like, oh gross.
19:03I went on six dates with this guy.
19:05He was absolutely, I was sold on him.
19:07Love of my life.
19:08I was like, this is it.
19:09And then, I don't know, we're hanging out with my side.
19:11Do you want to go on like a proper date to like a restaurant?
19:13And he was like, oh, I'm only into women.
19:16And I was, Lord.
19:18I just met him in a shop.
19:19He took my number and I always felt like it was romantic, but no, not at all.
19:25I mean, it was the best date because we're just like this now, but I was like, oh God.
19:30I have a theory about love, I think.
19:31Okay.
19:32So if I meet someone, they kind of look like my best friend.
19:34Yeah.
19:35And they kind of speak like my mom.
19:36You're kind of piecing all the people you already love before.
19:38And that's how you make a soulmate.
19:39Whereas my approach to it is kind of like, it's such an Irish thing, but would your mom
19:44like them?
19:45You know what I mean?
19:46Yeah.
19:47I'd be hoping to find someone that your mom's not looking at you with a cup of tea in your
19:49hand going, why did you bring him into my house?
19:51My mom likes everyone who doesn't cross someone in a bad way.
19:54Oh, so she doesn't like you from Dublin.
19:56Oh, what are we having?
19:57Yeah, we're getting into trouble, aren't we?
19:58I know, because I talk the hind legs off a donkey.
19:59I was wondering, would I get a word in edge, right?
20:00No, you won't.
20:01Right.
20:02Should we have a talking stick?
20:03Yes.
20:04You can have it for now, right?
20:05Right, okay.
20:06So I'm thinking maybe beef.
20:07What do you think?
20:08Would that be the prime Irish beef strip line or the Angus beef burger?
20:13What makes a great relationship?
20:14Having a bit of crack together, being able to banter with each other, and they can also
20:18have a serious side as well, and just be there and be supportive.
20:24Okay, right, I'll put it out there now.
20:27Take your breath.
20:28Come on.
20:29I had a gastric sleeve.
20:30Right.
20:31So I'm thinking maybe beef.
20:32What do you think?
20:33Would that be the prime Irish beef strip line or the Angus beef burger?
20:34What makes a great relationship?
20:35Having a bit of crack together.
20:36Being able to banter with each other.
20:37And they can also have a serious side as well and just be there and be supportive.
20:39Okay, right, well, I'll put it out there now.
20:40Take your breath.
20:41Come on.
20:42right so I don't eat a lot so if you have a preference I'm a fat bastard so
20:48I'll eat it all I have recently just lost five stone so I'm waiting for my
20:56mind to catch up with my body you know people say to me it's hard and finding
21:04the right foods to eat I'm going to get certain much protein in and things like
21:08that but having the confidence that I have now yeah to previous does not like
21:14it fair play because I was very insecure I was completely shallow I was very
21:19looks orientated you know the muscly guys the bouncers on the door not because I
21:26thought I'm gorgeous so I need a gorgeous guy it was because I just needed the
21:31person in front of me to mirror something totally different now I can look at
21:36myself and go not too shabby today Tony a good person a nice heart so I'm
21:42looking for that to mirror me now sorry to interrupt this beautiful flow she can
21:50now take a breath who's my back update we have a talking stick my turn I have to
21:55hold the knife this is gonna be interesting either yes I think it will I think it will
22:05you're really hopeful that like when I fall in love next that I can see my
22:10passions yeah that I have worked really hard at developing and someone else can
22:14pursue their passions and then we can support each other in in that journey you
22:17know so beautiful yeah I really like the stage that he seems to be at we have
22:25definitely have similar vibes and world outlooks that's not I believe love has to
22:29be or else it's very dependent on someone else to provide you your happiness I think
22:33people go through like trying to find love from other people instead of trying to find
22:37it within themselves I think until you find it within yourselves you're not
22:40really loving are you you're just trying I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic yeah me
22:46too I'll just fall in love with anyone that gives me attention what no I've been
22:53seven single for seven months now and that's the longest I've ever been single since I
22:59was like 15 16 and has it been heard no which I guess is a good sign absolutely but I'm
23:10I'm the kind of person that doesn't I don't lose myself in a relationship okay that's important
23:14yeah I think love is one of the best things that humans can do and I think that we shouldn't shy
23:21away from that because we're scared of being hurt my ex we broke up like three separate times oh I'm
23:31way too sensitive I just be in a bit it's like right no I I didn't really give give a fuck really
23:39no holding back in Aquarius anyway no definitely not
23:46hello what's your name Pete Pete nice to meet you Pete I'm Brian Brian lovely to meet you why why did I use the right name and if you were to see him on a night out
24:13whether you'd be like oh yeah yes it is it that's what I wanted to hear I am back
24:25I'm trying to leave a review but it won't let me the restaurant you know I'm gonna get a
24:29like Pete the waiter he's lying so it's gonna go five-star yeah I had a new year's
24:33resolution if we're every time I see something I like about someone I'm gonna
24:36say yes yeah because otherwise no one will know and everyone's so quick to like
24:39like a horrible review no I guess how are you feeling a bit nervous yeah that's
24:55normal you know if you're walking cocky and you would and that's it always you
25:00like to drink and go for an old-fashioned place nothing good tell me a bit about

26:09life I'm like old school I don't really understand the whole like casual dating
26:14culture after putting so much time and effort into getting ready for this person
26:18and then it doesn't work out just gets born after a while you know somebody's

30:46grown-up yeah the other two are just mental two girls I got my makeup done last again by the girls
30:52yeah they did yellow pink loads of stuff I think that's brilliant that you're able to do that because
30:59I know some fathers who aren't able to give that to the girls you know that's important that you
31:07that you like your own children well I've never said I like them you love them I suppose I do
31:13have you been on any really bad dates by the conform of this as a date this is the first one of them I've

31:38bad but just like not good okay you have two ears and one mouth use the ears more than you use your
31:43mouth there was one guy who did not look like his pictures at all music and I was like it's the only
31:51day that I've ever left half a true family where to see whatever because I was like I just couldn't
31:56like you know I feel like a lot of lads I meet on tinder just kind of after a casual thing when it's
32:02just that's not really what I'm looking for it's like if you're not happy with yourself don't put
32:06yourself out there exactly you have to love yourself worse and all that we all would like to meet someone
32:11it's all about like sex and dates or whatever but like to have a deeper connection with someone you
32:15want to have those like intimate conversations about life I'd love something like that cheers cheers

33:29beautiful I love the conversation I think it's where to have that kind of depth hmm we're not

33:41with people very quickly I don't think we resonated on each other's energies at all how are you feeling
33:46all right yeah I think that if he wasn't feeling it then he wasn't feeling it you know my ethos around
33:56and splitting the bill is that you don't want to see someone again so if he didn't want to see me again then maybe
34:02he should have suggested to split it
