Didn't really speak a lot.
Man of few words.
I'm really terrible at reading this kind of situation.
Thus why I'm single.
I just call myself a full-on weirdo.
When everyone gets to meet me,
they'll just know that I'm not completely normal.
In a good way, like a good streak of crazy, not like psycho.
Alright, fantastic.
If you follow me, I'll take you through to the bar.
Cool, cool. Thank you.
I'm starting to look for love now
because I feel like I'm getting to a place in my life
that I really have an opening for someone there.
I have spent a lot of time caring for my family over the recent years
because my dad had been really sick
and actually passed away a couple of weeks ago.
My dad always used to say to me,
surely Lucy, I think you're a beautiful girl.
Why aren't there more guys like pestering you?
The conversation might not be his strong point,
but 20-year-old business partner Adam does have other talents.
I started flying when I was 15 years old with my uncle.
He was in the Air Force,
and my pop was also in the Air Force as well.
I got my pilot's license when I was 16,
and my mum had to drive me to the airport
because I couldn't drive at the end of my lessons.
Adam, can I ask you to name? Adam.
I describe myself as driven and quite caring.
Yeah, a bit of a mummy's boy.
I've grown up, like, smothered in affection.
Your date is actually waiting at the bar for you, so just follow me.
Never been on a date before, so yeah.
Right now, I guess, yeah, I'm shaking.
Let's hope that the person's talkative and kind of gets that flying.
Nice to meet you. Lucy. Adam.
Adam, nice to meet you. Nice and easy name.
So how are you going today?
Yeah, not too bad. Not too bad, yeah?
100% I will need instant physical attraction.
Even if they are the loveliest person and I get along with them so well,
that physical attraction is what changes something
from a friendship to a relationship.
So, yes, I will definitely need some form of physical attraction.
You a little bit nervous? A little bit nervous?
Yeah, I'm a little bit nervous. Yeah, no, but it's all good. It's all good.
Do you have anyone else there? I can make one for you.
Yeah, awesome.
Anything you don't eat?
I'm actually pretty bad. Like, I'm a real fussy eater,
but I'm trying to, like, get past that stage.
What do you mean by that?
Like, I was that kid till I was, like, 14
that asked for the chicken nuggets on the menu.
I was like, can I have the kids' menu, please?
But no, I've outgrown that kind of stage.
OK, so we shouldn't ask for the kids' menu?
Yeah, no, no. Oh, we can if you want some chicken nuggets and chips.
Didn't really speak a lot.
Man of few words.
I'm really terrible at reading this kind of situation,
thus why I'm single.
Do you, like, um, have a hobby, play any sports or anything like that?
I fly planes, so, yeah.
Actually? I got my pilot's license.
Sometimes when I tell them, like, yeah, I fly planes,
they're like, wow, like, that's crazy, you're only 19 years old.
Have you, like, danced for anyone famous before?
I'm like, ooh, name drop, name drop.
Um, not particularly.
Like, I've done lots of Christmas in the parks.
I've done a couple of music videos,
but they're not, like, famous people, you know?
My longest relationship, so I was, like, 16 years old, I think.
I think it lasted for, like, six months.
She was finishing school and, um, going away to uni,
which is obviously hard.
I was, like, a year below her, so that obviously made things difficult.
And, um, yeah, it just didn't work out.
I was... I was quite upset.
I remember, like, crying all night.
Yeah, definitely my first experience of, um, having my heart break in.
What is that? I think it's, like...
It's raspberry. It's really nice, actually.
Excuse me as I squirt.
I love it.
Mm. Mm.
I'm in the bathroom. What?
I'm in the bathroom.
He's Aussie.
Yeah, he's got an accent. It's kind of cute.
Yeah, no, he's really, really nice. He's a real cool dude.
LAUGHTER
I haven't made up my mind about him.
Like, we're kind of running to the point in the conversation
where, like, we're almost running out of things to talk about.
Do I fancy him?
I am still undecided,
simply because I guess it's just I'm not great with first impressions.
LAUGHTER
Woo!
Great. This is great already.
Do you want to see each other again?
Do you want to go first?
Do you want to go first? I can go first.
Yeah, go, go. Go, go.
Yeah, I think so. It'll be cool.
Um, yeah, yeah, no, I think it'll be good.
I definitely want to see him again.
Outside of this kind of dating experience,
maybe something a little bit more casual.
Yeah. Yeah.
Do you want to get some more drinks or something?
Yeah, we could go. Yeah, that sounds good.
Let's do that. Are you cold?
Um, a little bit.
I'll give you this. It's, like, a little bit freezing.
Thank you very much.
That was really cute.
I'm looking for a guy who really treats me like a queen,
makes me feel very special.
I'm, like, really romantic, so...
Like, I even love just, like, home-cooked meal,
lots of, like, roses everywhere, candles.
Oh, beautiful. Yeah.
Well, why don't we take this a step further?
Yeah. May I?
A little dance? A dance?
Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Are we dancing?
It's a little twirling. Are you serious?
Come on. OK. There we go, like this.
All right.
Go around, spin.
Come over here. Oh, my gosh, OK.
Spin around.
Oh, my gosh. What is going on?
Oh, my gosh.
What?
Oh, my gosh.
That's for you. Thank you.
Oh, my gosh, that is so sweet.
The rose went really well.
The whole act was perfect.
Like, I couldn't see any flaws.
What? Do you do this all the time on dates?
Yeah, just special ones.
When you do things from your heart, it just flows really well.
Love it.
Enjoy. Thank you.
Do you say blessings, anything to thank?
Oh, yeah, we can say, shouldn't we?
Yeah, can we? OK.
To me, love and kindness and being grateful for everything
is a big part of me,
and so I do this ritual with gratitude salt.
So it's called gratitude salt. OK.
So you're going to pretend you've got,
you know, like, salt between your fingers.
So go like this.
Yeah, and now you're going to feel grateful
for whatever is in front of you
and sprinkle it with gratitude salt.
Oh, my gosh.
What's this?
What was that? Have you ever heard of that?
I've never heard of that.
It was interesting.
I'm always up for new things.
So how do you define, say, seduction?
Seduction?
I think everyone has a different way of seducing.
Oh, I see.
I see what you're talking about.
Just throw it out there.
Yeah, I mean, it sort of depends on the person.
Of course, yeah.
Give me your fingers.
I'll explain something to you.
OK.
So hold your fingers like this.
So two fingers, yeah.
So to me, it's like, say these are your feet,
like the tip of your fingers, they're the feet.
So it's about, you know, not sort of rushing into things
and say these are like your legs.
The knuckles are your knees.
So it's not about, say, you know,
just totally rushing into things.
It's about taking your time
and taking your time working, working, working up.
And, you know, then sort of just lingering
and working your magic that way.
Oh, OK.
But what that shows you is patience.
It's all about being patient.
I felt like that was a way of showing her
that I'm patient when it comes to being physical
because I prefer the emotional and energy connection before that.
Interesting.
Is there going to be a second date?
Um...
I would definitely like to see Jill again
and go on another date.
Um, I don't really know if the spark is there.
OK.
You were so sweet, and it was such a great date.
Everything you did was perfect.
I just feel like I don't really know if a date 2 will happen.
I've got new friends.
Ah!
Oh, my God.
This might be your date.
I'm Jill.
Boobs are the first thing guys notice about me.
They're real, and I'm proud of them.
Maybe that's why, you know, I was such a good Catholic girl
that God gave them to me.
I don't know.
Thank you. Thanks, God.
Hi.
Hi. I'm Jill.
Jill, I'm Chris. Very nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I brought these for you.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you. That's so sweet.
Let's take a seat.
Thank you for the flowers.
You know why it's so yellow?
It's a friendship, right?
Yeah, it's a friendship.
Nothing in life starts without a friendship.
Like your significant other,
I always think she'd be like your best friend.
You're freaking me out.
My dream would be to marry my best friend.
So we can cheers to that, right?
Cheers.
So what do you do?
I bartend.
I used to work in a steel mill.
Get out of here.
I swear to God.
I installed phones in a steel mill.
Yeah, right.
I swear.
Are you serious?
That's sexy.
I'm just going to say that's sexy.
I believe my last relationship, I was in love,
and it hurt at the end, but I'm glad I went through it.
And just every relationship you go through,
you just learn the red flags
that you don't want to have in your next relationship.
Did you notice that the whole restaurant has yellow flowers?
I did not until you just pointed them out.
My mom always gets me yellow roses.
What's the reason for that?
It's just a friendship thing.
She's the one who taught me about yellow roses.
It's uncanny that you did that.
Oh my God.
So what do you like to do in your free time
when you're not working?
Actually, I'm big, big into like family.
So like if I'm not working, I'm either visiting a family member,
hanging out with my mom and my dad,
or pasta dinner like every Sunday by my mom.
Is that in Swedish?
It's probably one of the biggest things that I look for
is how close a guy is with his family,
because I have just my mom,
so I know that if I do marry this guy
and he has brothers and sisters,
like those are going to be the aunts and uncles to my kids.
So you have a huge family.
Yeah, the table is huge.
Like okay, so when my mom cooks,
it's like 4 pounds of pasta and like 50 meatballs.
And my nieces will stand on a little stool
and help my mom make the meatballs.
It's precious, it's precious.
I definitely believe in love at first sight.
As odd as it sounds, that spark, I'm telling you,
once you feel it, that's the feeling of love at first sight.
Just start with a little palate cleanser.
Wow, look at that little fancy smancy, huh?
I'm just going to totally take my gum out of my mouth
and I'm going to stick it on this plate over here,
so just don't pay attention.
So I guess what I'm going to ask you now is,
what do you look for in a man?
You have to be loyal, you have to be trustworthy, traditional.
I'm a very traditional person.
I'm going to tell you we're a little nervous.
I think my glass was shaking
when they first handed it to me at the bar.
I was all like, all over the place,
and I don't really get nervous.
Like, if you're nervous,
you're not going to be who you're supposed to be.
I'm always nervous at the beginning
until you get my confidence up.
So, so you're not being who you are.
I mean, I'm being, like, my own.
Hey, listen, that was a joke.
I'm going to go pee.
Go to the bathroom, the boys' room.
The boys' room? The little boys' room.
I do think that Jill is interested in me
and attracted to me.
Between the looks, family, trust,
to find out that that exists,
I can't let something like that go.
Like, if you got married and had kids, would you ever...
I'd definitely love to be a stay-at-home mom
and hang out with kids.
Hang out with the kids.
So then you want to get married and you want to have kids.
Yeah, eventually.
Right. Sooner than later?
No, no, no, I don't know.
I don't know what's sooner than later.
I don't really see it yet.
I feel like Jill and I hit it off really good.
I feel like we had a pretty good connection.
I can only imagine it's only going to get better.
I would absolutely ask Jill out on a second date.
I do kind of feel like there's love in there.
So the goal is basically to find somebody
and then build from there.
Yeah, somebody who I click with
and then I can see myself exercising.
I feel like he is ready to look for a family,
look for a girl to settle down with now,
and I'm not ready for that yet.
I'm just looking for somebody to be there, not family yet.
First date?
First date? True, it's the first date.
laughs
Hi.
Is there going to be a second date?
Um...
I would definitely like to see Jill again
and go on another date.
Um, I don't really know if the spark is there.
Okay.
You were so sweet, and it was such a great date.
Everything you did was perfect.
I just feel like I don't really know if a date 2 will happen.
I've got new friends.
laughs
Oh, my God.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
All right.
And this is why I'm single.
This is mad.
Well...
Oh, my God.
47-year-old mum Emma is a seasoned dater.
Hello, how are you?
Hello, fine, how are you?
She frequently has men throwing themselves at her.
Oh, I had to lunge her this week.
Yeah.
I was like, what are you doing?
Merlin, we'll get you a drink.
I love being a mum.
I think I'm still a young mum.
I'm probably an embarrassing mum.
I'm a mum that's got Instagram, which is not cool, apparently.
So how are you feeling about your date today?
I feel OK, actually. I've had quite a few dates.
Oh, you're an old hand at this game, then?
I had a couple of years out,
and then decided to just try a bit of dating and see what happened.
Mm-hm.
I've had quite a few interesting dates.
Weird ones, short ones, gay ones.
You're looking for something a little more permanent?
I would like a companion. It's such an old term,
but I would like to share, you know, good times with somebody.
I'm 47.
You know, I don't always want to be the one
that goes out with other couples on my own.
I've had more fun with my sky planner for two years.
So how many children do you have?
I've got two daughters, eight and 16.
So I suppose you have to be quite selective
when you're looking for a guy, then?
Yeah, you have to drip-feed someone in, don't you?
And he hasn't arrived yet.
Well, I wish you the best of luck today.
Hiya.
I like a man that's groomed.
Short, grey hair, reasonably tall,
nice shoulders, somebody manly.
Yeah, not a wimp.
He looks nice.
I attract women that like confident men.
I hold myself well, I dress well,
I smell well, apparently.
I wouldn't say I'm a ladies' man,
but I'm a man that ladies like.
Hello, how are you?
Hiya, very well, yourself?
Yeah, good, thank you very much.
Good, good. What's your name?
Peter.
A young lady came up to me on a beach in Portugal.
She just said,
you're exactly what I'm looking for in a man.
And my friend standing next to me said,
you mean he's a messed-up, divorced, drunk grandad?
And I had to put in correct.
I said, I'm a grandlad, not a grandad.
Thank you.
This is mad.
Well...
Stop it.
Shit.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Mad.
Hiya, how are you?
Very well, welcome.
I'd like a gin, please.
I'm going to sit down.
Oh, my goodness.
I can't believe it.
We've dated.
No, you are kidding me.
They must have known.
They couldn't have known.
Well, then they obviously think
that we should have gone out together.
Yeah.
Ah, well.
So what's been happening in your world, then,
for the last 18 months?
Not a lot.
Can you imagine if it had been me sitting here?
Would you have just turned around?
Walked straight out?
It's probably a good job I got here first, yeah.
How are you?
We're fine.
We know each other.
We've dated.
You dated before?
Yeah.
I don't know, we met each other on a...
It was my birthday.
Yeah.
What a turn-up event, mate.
Well, we've got to give it a second go.
Yeah.
Slippery.
Let's go, let's go to the table.
Like any seasoned warrior,
Mark appreciates the value of a positive mental attitude.
Well, I do believe there is that person out there for me.
I know there is somebody out there.
And hopefully that when we do meet,
they'll just be like, boom.
Mateo, nice to meet you.
Mateo, good to meet you.
Hopefully we'll have a great night.
I have positive thoughts, so...
All right, please go ahead.
Absolutely love getting prepared to go out on a date.
I finish work about two,
and I get myself out for a facial.
I look after myself for the whole afternoon,
so I'm totally chilled, relaxed, all that type stuff.
By the time I get there, I'm just...
How you going, my friend?
Nice one.
Muchas gracias.
Muchas gracias, de nada.
Mark's blind date is clued in single mum Gemma.
I write crosswords.
For the newspaper that I work with.
I would like to find somebody
who we can just slot into each other's lives
as if we're best buds,
but we also like a bit of that.
Now...
Hi, how are you?
Mark, good to meet you.
Hi.
Nervous?
A little bit.
If I don't find them attractive in some way,
it's just never going to happen.
It doesn't grow on me.
So I'll kind of know fairly soon.
I think we know each other.
Yeah, we do.
Really? Where do we know each other from?
This is not our first date.
You're kidding me.
Seriously?
Yeah.
When were we on a date?
A good while ago.
That's a long time ago.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Holy ----.
This is a bit of a game-changer.
Sure, look.
I mean, did it go all, like, totally piton
when we met?
Like, did it go totally wrong?
Well, no.
Like, yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
Tell me we didn't go dancing.
No, we were friends of yours, even.
Were we?
And we got on fine,
but we didn't go on any more dates.
That was it.
We were just done.
It was good.
It was a good date.
We didn't go on a second date, though.
We've been on a date before.
No kidding.
We have all the gin joints in all the world.
Wow, that's lovely, man.
Ten guys that have ever been on dates,
and you could find one of those.
Well, cheers.
Absolutely, cheers.
Cheers to our second date.
Second date.
So, how are things?
All good, all good.
You have a little boy, don't you?
I do have a little boy, yeah.
And I have a little girl.
I do have a little boy, I know.
She'll be 18.
Oh, dad.
That's dad.
I find that women that have children,
they understand that your children come first and foremost.
And you'll do absolutely,
you will drop everything.
Leave your drinks behind,
I'll take that for you, and let's go.
We do love meeting people that have kids already
because they totally get being a parent.
And they're never going to go,
sorry, love.
Well, they'd be some dickhead
if they said they won't go out with you
because you have kids if they have kids.
Thank you.
Do you know what?
That is gas.
I'm still reeling, I have to say.
I can't quite come to terms with this.
Did I have an awful lot more hair
on top of my head back then?
You do like me, don't you?
We'll see.
I don't like too much confrontation in a relationship,
too much confrontation.
It's not good.
Can you taste this for me?
No.
Get your face here.
No, no, no.
Come on.
A drop, darling.
Come on.
Come on, do it, please.
Some girls, they like to have power over you,
but that doesn't happen with me.
I like to do my own thing.
Yay!
Come on, give me a ten-five to that.
A lot of guys have feared me
and were kind of like,
I'm going to do what she says
because I just want to be with her
or because of how she looks
and I want someone who can stand up to me
and say, no.
How old do you think I am?
Maybe 29?
30?
I don't know.
I find it quite hard to figure out
what age a girl is.
Did you say 29?
Did you say 30?
Either or.
Same age, 30.
Are you older?
I'm going to choke.
I'm actually about to choke because of you.
I'm 25.
How?
I didn't know.
You said I'm 29 or I'm 30.
You don't seem like a 25-year-old.
That's what I'm trying to say.
I thought I was actually being normal, saying 29.
I'm 25.
I am not 29 or 30, okay?
There's no point in getting angry.
I'm not getting angry.
I'm just making facts clear.
How dare you say that about me?
In fairness, she does talk like she's an older girl.
She does seem to be well-educated.
You're different to any girl,
most girls I've ever been with.
Exactly.
That's the thing.
I'm different to most girls anyone has been with.
It was tough.
It was trying to keep me cool
and trying to just try to,
how do we get out of this?
I actually enjoyed the date,
but I don't think going far
there'd be any point to going there.
That's fine, that's normal.
It happens all the time.
I liked him because he has a look,
but he just doesn't have the powers.
I'm sorry.
You can have the look,
but you don't have the powers.
We can't have both, can we?
Take it easy.
All right?
Thank you.
I normally go for brunettes, fringe,
you know the type.
Oblivious to Preston's former tabloid fame
is South African stunner Nicole.
So, why are you single?
I've only been single for two years
since I was 16,
and I feel like I'm playing catch-up.
I have no idea what's going on.
I don't understand how it works anymore.
What are you doing, man?
I'm checking out Preston.
It was Heart Skips a Beat
that he wrote the Olly Murs song.
Did he really?
Yeah.
What, like?
Beautiful.
Enrique Iglesias.
Would you dance
if I asked you to dance?
I actually produced a song by Lucy Spraglin.
Do you remember that?
Called Beer Fear.
Remember that song?
Who's the guy?
Huh?
A girl called Lucy Spraglin
who was on X Factor.
Oh, I see.
I don't have a telly,
so I don't know who that is.
Do you not?
No.
To be honest,
I'm not very good with famous people.
Yeah.
I feel like the problem
is I didn't really grow up in England.
No.
It's just a problem.
The old British celebrities.
Like, I was on Big Brother
like ten years ago.
You were on Big Brother?
What?
It was Celebrity Big Brother.
OK.
Because of my band.
What's your band?
The Ordinary Boys.
It seems to me
that the interest
in that celebrity culture
has died down
since Big Brother.
People just don't seem
to care as much
about, like,
what Peter Andre had for dinner
during a meal.
But it was really fun.
It was such a nice time.
But I just need someone
who is interested
in the same things
that I feel
really passionate about.
I like cooking a lot.
I hate cooking.
Can you make anything
out of napkins?
No.
And I've never tried.
And so,
are you ready for your date?
It sounds pessimistic
but I feel like
I'm going to screw it up
somehow already.
I've got, like,
the social etiquette
of, like, a four-year-old.
This is Tom,
a forensic scientist
who, when it comes to love,
is struggling
to find the right chemistry.
I'd like Christmas
to actually be
a point in the year
that I look forward to
and it is a big day
and, you know,
I've got someone
to get a gift for
and someone
who I actually, like,
want to be with me
at Christmas.
It's hard, though,
because the first two, like,
men they meet
is Fred,
who's, like,
as suave as anything
and then you,
who's, like,
the most charming man
in Britain, probably.
Oh, bless you.
Saying hi to someone
is the most stressful thing ever
because if you say hi,
it sounds like really,
like, hi!
And then hi-ers,
even camper.
And then I can't do stuff
because I'm nowhere
near that tool
and I don't know
what to say.
Fred,
I need your assistance here.
Yes.
Dating advice for Tom here.
He's a bit nervous.
So let's do a role play together.
I'm going to be you.
You're going to be me.
And you're going to be the girl.
What's important
is the first impression.
Eye contact straight away
and you stand up
and you make sure
that they know
that you're happy to see them.
I just walk like a girl.
Nice to meet you.
How are you?
I'm Fred.
And you are?
I'm Tom.
Tom, fantastic.
That was an experience.
He's good, isn't he?
Even you went weak
at the knees.
Oh, I know.
Double pies.
I need someone kind.
You know when people
have a natural warmth
about them.
Talkative, quirky,
but someone probably
not as off the scale
as me,
but someone just
a little bit awkward.
You probably will experience
the most awkward
meeting ever.
Oh, God.
Sorry.
I'm not very elegant.
There we go.
This is how I'm not sexy.
This is why
I'm on this show.
28-year-old librarian,
Louise,
is yet to unwrap
Mr. Right,
but still dreams
of a Christmas romance.
I try and see the romance
in everything.
If I see two butterflies
getting really close,
I'm like,
oh, they're in love.
If I see fireworks,
I'm like,
oh, it's a heart.
Hello, how are you?
Hi, how are you?
Very good,
thank you very much.
I've never had
a romantic Christmas,
so it would be
a complete shock
to have someone
really nice
to share that with,
maybe his and her
matching Christmas jumpers.
Of course,
I went to a whole
other octave
of excitement.
When do I stand up?
Yeah, absolutely,
stand up.
When?
As soon as she starts
walking over.
She's going to give you
a big Christmas hug.
And go.
This is Tom.
Hi, Tom.
Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm Tom.
I'm Lou.
I love your jumper.
Thank you.
And you.
Thank you very much.
Where did you come from?
I'm from Middlesex.
Where are you from?
I live in Oxfordshire,
just south of Oxford.
So are you near
the Harry Potter studio?
No.
My geography is terrible.
This voice isn't sexy
to people.
They're like,
oh, she's cute,
but it's not sexy.
It's not like,
oh, I want to snog her.
Sometimes I twitch
in my eyebrow.
Years ago,
I had my eyebrow pierced.
Apparently,
you can hit a nerve.
So you're not just
like raising your eyes?
You may think I'm flirting,
but it's like,
oh God, twitch.
I have the same problem.
I sometimes like,
wink with my left eye.
And it's happened
in like a bar
where I wink.
This girl just looked at me
and I like twitched
out of my eye
and she just scoffed at me.
I was like,
no, it's not you.
I'm just awkward
and weird.
Shall I take you through, guys?
Oh, thank you so much.
Do you want a hand
with anything?
Oh, look here, gentlemen.
Well, I tried.
Not very well.
Have you had a Negroni before?
I've had them
a couple of times.
There was this guy
who used to go to this bar.
He didn't think
it was strong enough.
So instead of having it
with like tonic,
they added in
gin or something like that.
And he was,
he was some guy
whose last name was Negroni.
And now,
that's where we get
our Negronis from.
So we've got some guy
called Negroni.
It's a great story.
If I find someone attractive
and I've just met them,
I will spew
utter nonsense.
I'm going to make
a tit of myself.
Is there anything
you don't eat?
Um, I don't eat pork.
Is that a religious thing?
Yeah.
Feel your brother?
Sorry?
Feel your brother?
Well, I don't
because I eat pork, but...
I find dating quite awkward.
I think I had a lot more
confidence when I was young.
And as I've gotten older,
it's so much more scary
when you go on a date.
So do you not get nervous
too often?
Yeah, actually.
I'm not going to lie.
I was quite nervous
coming up to this.
How close were you to
shitting your pants,
do you reckon?
Get you any more drinks?
No, actually.
What a fantastic timing.
Yeah.
Do you have an IPA?
I can double check for you.
Let me double check for you.
What did you ask for?
An IPA.
An Indian parallel.
You should know all about that.
Oh, because I'm Indian.
But he is Indian, right?
Huh?
He is Indian, right?
No, I'm Afghanistan.
Would you like to follow me?
Yes, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Have a good evening, guys.
Thank you.
Cheers.
I'm picking up your eggs,
so cheers.
Cheers.
Is this going to happen
all night?
Sorry.
I feel like I'm really
recognised if I'm somewhere.
Do you?
Crime watch.
Is that what it is?
Probably.
Was it?
It must be.
We may have matched
on Tinder at one point.
Yeah, I think we have
matched on Tinder before.
Really?
Yeah.
Are you kidding me?
Bloody hell.
Oh, God.
Shit.
I'm just, er,
stalking you on, er...
You did find me.
How?
Well, obviously,
I was going to.
Obviously.
Obvs.
Do you want to know
how many I've got?
What, matches?
Yeah.
How many?
About 2,500.
What the...
Do you think
that's excessive?
Oh, no, don't say this.
Yes, it is.
2,500 matches
on Tinder.
But you're still here.
I know,
and that's the thing,
that's the problem.
But I've not had that many dates
or anything like that.
It's just a case of
when I'm bored.
Is it?
I went to have
my haircut swiped.
Celebrate.
Have a cheeky swipe.
I'm back in Sligo, like,
I have the whole date.
The Irish are down to a tee.
Go on!
It really is
a foolproof date.
It's brilliant.
I pick them up
at their house or whatever.
I'll go for a drive,
and, like, the drive's
probably about 20 minutes.
Chatting away.
Park up,
and you're at this
lovely lake.
You get out,
and...
Basically, it's
Glencar waterfall.
And you get out of the car,
and then you start
walking up this path
towards it.
And like that,
it's just this
really nice,
and then you
walk up these steps.
You see the waterfall
then rushing down.
I like that.
It's really secluded here.
Where the f*** am I going?
See, that does sound nice,
but very much a place
I wouldn't go
with a stranger.
I'm definitely
brutally honest.
I cannot tell lies.
Like, I had a guy
tell me that
I've no empathy.
So, you've got
three brothers?
Yeah.
Are your parents
still together then?
My mom's dead.
Oh!
I know, yeah.
You brought up the memory.
That's nice.
She died
when I was nine, so...
I wasn't exactly
grey crack.
That's something I'd
probably bring up
on a first date,
but it came up,
it came up.
How long ago
was it when
your mother died?
Um, yeah,
so it must have been,
what, 17 years ago?
Ooh, good!
Hooray!
Thanks very much.
At least that took us away
from talking about death.
It definitely
had an impact.
I'm very bloke-ish
in some of my
attitudes to things.
What do you drive?
I drive a
Skoda Octavia VRS.
Ah!
It's not blue, is it?
Yeah.
How'd you guess blue?
Because a lot of people
get the VRS in blue.
So, I'd like
a spoiler and all of that.
Yeah.
I'm into cars.
Oh, and it's
absolutely a weapon.
Really?
Yeah.
The hotel where
I used to work was
absolutely gorgeous.
I remember once
we had a wedding,
and like that,
I was doing the veg.
On the tray table
was cauliflower
with a cheese sauce,
and I went down
kind of to one person
like, oh,
how would you like it?
She goes, oh,
I'll have everything
but the white stuff.
And it just came
straight out of my mouth
and I was like,
oh, do you not like
putting the white stuff
in your mouth?
Yeah.
As soon as I said it,
the whole table just stopped
and just looked at me.
You know,
just kind of going,
oh ----, oh ----, oh ----.
And I just leaned back
and said, it's alright,
I may have said it,
but you thought about
it being dirty.
I just bolted back
to the kitchen
as quick as possible.
See, people have
no sense of humour
if they're going to
complain about something
like that.
I would think
that was hilarious.
Oh, as I bolted away,
I heard the entire table
erupt in laughter.
We should have ordered
something with pineapple in it.
You should not.
Ordered something
with pineapple in it.
Alright.
Pineapple.
Why?
Sorry, but it tastes like wood.
Like actual wood.
You know what it does,
don't you?
Yeah, I know what it does.
I recognise him
and I think he's fair.
So I was like,
this is a problem
because now I'm going
to not be able to act
like I normally would.
If there was a ratio
of who did the most talking,
it would probably be like
me 70, him 30.
Cheers.
I'll take the sweet.
I'm only kidding.
Did that come across?
What a cringe.
Oh, ----.
I nearly hit that light then.
It's more that you're
like six foot nine.
I'm just 18.
I thought it was
a good talker but
I'm just in lower leagues
compared to some people,
I think.
It's like a quilt.
It's like a big one.
A big coat.
Alright.
Let's go.
Alright.
Cheers, mate.
Good night.
Take care, guys.
Are the chairs always
this close together?
Are you uncomfortable?
I'm okay.
I'm just very aware
that your leg's next to mine.
Would you like to see
each other again?
I don't think so for me.
Okay.
It was alright.
I got on.
He was a nice lad.
I kind of agree.
I think there was
magic missing.
He's fit though.
Thanks.
It's okay.
The food was good.
I mean, I know
my food was good.
I wouldn't know what his was.
You know what my cheesecake
was like?
Yeah, it was beautiful.
To be fair,
I only give you the cheesecake
to shut you up for two minutes.
Boom!
Oh my god, that is harsh.
I'm joking.
You're not.
You're literally not.
You knew that cheesecake
would shut me up.
It did, though.
It was good cheesecake.
Keep it coming.
I mean, I don't know
how much to say to that.
That was just rude.
Oh, come on.
Take care, man.
Hi, buddy.
It wasn't exactly
anything that
we didn't get on.
It was more that
we were in different
places in our lives.
At the end of the day,
I don't even
like,
I don't care.
It is what it is,
you know?
Good evening.
Welcome to Earl's.
Hey, thank you.
Can I get your name?
Kevin.
Kevin, yes.
You know,
you never know
who you're going to meet.
I always say hi to everybody
just because you never know.
All right, Kevin,
your date's not here yet,
but if you wouldn't mind,
I'll take you to your table
and you can wait there.
Sure.
Perfect.
All right, right this way.
Okay, cool.
Thanks.
When he's looking
for dating tips,
there's only one place
Kevin turns.
And just this spot
right here.
Cool.
Perfect.
My Nana offers me
a lot of advice in love.
She just tells me again,
like, you know,
women are a treasure
and you got to treasure them.
Kevin is meeting Anna,
an eye-catching 28-year-old
who's looking to dazzle
her date with a couple
of her key assets.
I'm ridiculously optimistic,
bubbly,
and a little peculiar,
which I hope
is an endearing way,
but also somewhat baffling
and frustrating.
But will Kevin be impressed
with her big personality?
My friends say
you either love me
or you hate me.
I'm hoping it's love.
Hi there.
Welcome.
I'm Anna.
Anna.
I'm looking for
a genuinely nice person
who has a personality,
who is polite and courteous.
Okay.
I'm not going to lie,
a six-pack would be nice.
And right this way.
Okay.
I'm feeling nervous.
I'm hoping I don't fall.
I'm hoping it goes well.
Yeah.
As long as I don't fall,
it's going to be good.
Here we are.
Hey!
Hi!
I'm Kevin.
How are you?
I'm Anna.
Sit down.
Thank you.
Here we go there.
Thank you.
Here's a few.
Thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome.
So tell me about yourself.
Um, I'm Kevin.
That's a good start.
Yeah, yeah,
it's my first name.
I'm bored with it.
I do pest control.
I'm an exterminator.
Ah, pest control.
Do you ever feel bad
about all the little mice that die?
Not mice and gnats.
They can live outside
and be outside in the woods,
but they can't live in your house.
I just have a fondness for rodents.
I mean, deer, they can die
because they're creepy.
Yeah?
But, and spiders.
Yeah, we kill all bugs
and all that too, so.
What are you looking for
in like a relationship?
Like, are you looking for
like just hanging out?
What are you looking for?
I wouldn't mind finding someone
that I could hang out with
and be there with me
through the rest of my life.
Uh-huh.
So, like a lot of my buddies
are married and stuff,
and you know, I see it in them,
and I like, they're happy
and all that.
I want that too.
Chicken is really spicy.
It's just I have a very low
tolerance for spice.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like I was gonna say
something,
but now I don't remember.
Yes, I'm really awkward on dates
because I haven't dated
in like a year and a half.
Why?
So, why?
Work.
I just...
You work all the time.
I work all the time.
I think everyone can find time
to date somebody.
My phone compliments me.
It says, hey beautiful,
you've got a text message,
and I'm like, thank you.
So that wasn't a text message?
That is a text message.
Oh.
It says, hey beautiful,
you have a text message,
and I'm just really excited
because I'm like, thank you.
I just heard ding.
No, it said, hey beautiful,
you've got a text message.
Oh, I just heard ding.
I'm gonna text her back.
Will that offend you
if I text her back?
No.
Okay.
It's your phone.
Well, no,
but it's not proper etiquette
to text somebody back
unless you're okay with it.
Okay.
Go ahead.
We can go there
separately, though.
Uh...
Separate?
Okay.
All right.
Just right down the middle,
I guess, right?
Yeah.
Is that what you want?
I'm just gonna go to the bathroom now,
and I will be right back.
Hey.
How's it going?
Oh, thank God.
I'm like,
why is everybody else in here?
Dude, I was sitting there like,
how do you want to pay the bill?
I'm like, oh,
let's split it Dutch,
and he let me go with it.
I'm like, dude,
you should totally pay for it,
especially since I got a salad
and he got a f****** steak.
She's beautiful.
I think she's a very good-looking girl.
Did you want your coffee?
Awesome.
You guys have a fantastic evening.
You too.
Thanks.
But she's a little off
in left field a little bit.
Can I grab my bag?
Of course.
On all the dates I've been on,
you kind of play the coy.
Hey, let's go Dutch.
And he's like, no,
first date.
I got this.
But I guess that's just my mindset.
Enjoy the rest of your night.
You too.
Have a good one.
Yeah.
Will there be a second date?
No.
I'm good.
Good evening.
