A lot of my friends hate it or love it.
Okay.
So I got a Christopher Walken one.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know.
These guys are mad.
Crazy.
Madness.
Hold yourself.
Amazing.
It's crazy how you just change like that.
Party trick.
I do voices.
Show you.
Like, have you ever heard of Christopher Walken?
Yeah, you know.
These guys are mad.
It's crazy.
Madness.
You know.
Yeah.
Often we know when the person says, okay, look sexy, how do you do that?
Do this.
Do that.
Look sexy.
Like, it's kind of awkward, you know, because you can't just do it on the spot.
29-year-old model and personal trainer, Michael, needs some guidance in the love department.
I think I've got pretty high standards.
Guarded.
Work too hard.
Work all the time.
And I want to let my guard down for a change, so that's why I'm here.
Hello.
Hi.
Good day.
Good.
How are you?
I'm very well and just fine.
Fine, thank you.
Good.
I'm here for my date.
Okay.
What's your name, sir?
Michael.
Michael, here you are.
The time I've been single now for will be just two years now.
I think at the beginning it was.
It was very, very lonely.
You know, I suck at being single.
I think the reason why I suck at being single is when you try to meet new people, it's always
rather difficult, and then do you gel with that person?
Don't you gel with that person?
There you go.
You say some soda, huh?
Yeah.
Some soda as well.
Thank you so much.
You having a long day?
I actually took the day off for a change for today.
You took the day off?
Cool.
That's great.
It's not normal for me because I'm usually working every day.
Okay.
Yeah.
Cool.
What do you do?
Personal trainer.
Nice.
Yeah.
How do you feel tonight's going to go?
What are you looking for in a woman?
I'm looking for something that's playful.
Twenty-three-year-old English teacher Courtney has been struggling with her game.
I'm not really a flirt, not my strong point.
I'm a bit awkward.
Everybody tells me I'm a bit awkward, so I mean, I don't think I'll be flirting.
How's it going?
It's going, and how's it going with you?
Yeah, good.
Just freezing.
It's cold outside.
It is really cold outside.
I can hardly feel my hands.
Cool?
Cold hands.
It is really cold.
Yeah.
How's your day?
I mean, it's my first day off today.
Oh, what do you do?
I usually work all from Monday to Sunday sometimes.
Oh, wow.
What do you do?
Personal trainer.
Okay.
Amazing.
Then I do voiceovers and commercials on the side.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
What?
That's cool.
Yeah.
That's lecker.
Okay.
It is.
Good, good.
And then yourself?
I'm a teacher.
You're a teacher?
No way.
I'm a teacher, yes, at a school in Jo'burg.
Okay.
To grade eight and nine.
I absolutely love it.
I know your occupation.
Mm-hmm.
I know your family background.
Oh, don't defy me about my occupation.
Of course not.
I'm just saying that.
Yeah, personal trainers don't have the best reputation.
They don't.
You know that.
They really, really don't.
I've been in a relationship with a few, actually.
Oh, sure.
Terrible.
I believe, you know.
Not the greatest time.
No.
So especially when I was shadowing, I just find, you know, equipment and what they say
they do, what they actually do.
Actually do, yeah.
I don't like that.
If you say you're going to do something, you must do what you say.
I mean.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, I'm just...
My notepad's not here.
I'm making mental notes.
Yeah, make mental notes.
Yeah, there we go.
Make mental notes.
Yeah, and my last relationship was a personal trainer.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Not a good experience.
No.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll just tell you now, I do voiceovers and commercials as well, which I know most personal
trainers don't.
Yeah.
Very good.
So you can just change your voice to, like...
Yeah.
What's, like, your best impersonation.
There's always a go-to.
Mm-hmm.
A lot of my friends hate it or love it.
Okay.
So I've got a Christopher Walken one.
Oh.
Yeah.
Christopher Walken.
Yeah, you know, these guys are mad.
Crazy.
Madness.
Hold yourself.
Amazing.
Yeah.
It's crazy how you just change like that.
Mm.
So I would just pretend to be different people all the time.
I'd phone my friends and just pretend to be Christopher Walken, Nelson Mandela.
Yeah.
Donald Trump.
I can't do Nelson Mandela.
I can't do Trump.
I'm sure you can.
Oh.
I'm sure you can.
With practice and time.
Practice that.
Oh.
Call me in a week with Nelson Mandela's voice.
Thank you so much.
Is that the wrists?
No, muscles.
Oh, muscles.
Thank you so much.
Thanks.
Amazing.
There we go.
This is great.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's get to know more about you now.
I wear glasses.
You wear glasses?
Yes.
I'm wearing contacts today, but I wear glasses every day.
I have to feel for my glasses when I wake up in the morning.
I see.
Right.
It's a struggle.
I must be honest.
Can you see well?
I can see well.
I'm jealous of you.
FYI, no contacts or anything, so.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
What a luxury.
But I'm wearing new contacts tonight, and there's no better feeling.
So you can't see like the bags on my eyes or pimples on my face?
No, I can't.
I can see absolutely everything.
Oh, sure.
Okay.
Thank you.
How do you describe yourself in two words?
In two words?
Blunt and, you know, courageous, maybe?
Wow.
Courageous, maybe.
That's a good adjective.
I'm watching my words now, because I know you're judging me because you're an English
teacher.
I'm judging you.
I'm not judging you.
Have you ever caught your students passing notes to each other?
Yeah, I have.
Have you?
I was the kid at school that always negotiated his way out of detention.
Oh, I hate kids like you.
I know.
I was that kid.
And I always got it right every time, though.
Really?
No, not with me.
Okay.
I've come to detention.
Sorry.
Wouldn't it be a bad thing, being in detention with you?
I don't know.
Oh, how magical.
This is incredible.
Thank you.
And there we go, guys.
Born to be kids.
Thank you.
Okay, I think this is a peach.
No kidding.
Okay, thanks, sarcastic.
Let me try.
I also love sarcasm.
Do you?
I hate it when people don't pick up on my sarcasm, and they just think I'm being rude.
Rude?
Okay.
I get that very same complaint.
Yeah.
Do people think you're rude, generally?
Yeah.
They think I'm actually an asshole, but I'm actually the nicest guy around, I think.
You think?
I think.
Good job.
I'm going to put it closer to you.
I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to...
I just don't want it to burn.
No.
Um...
I don't know.
I don't know if you should...
Good job.
There we go.
Good job.
Thank you for saving us.
What about teeth clean, Michael?
Sorry.
I think we've got a bigger problem here.
Your teeth are a problem, but your teeth are fine.
Thank you so much.
Best thing about him, his sense of humor.
He's really funny.
He made me laugh, which ticks one of my boxes.
He was nice to the waitress, which is very important.
He eats really well, which stands out.
He doesn't chew with his mouth open, so success!
Cheers.
Right, this is going to slip out of my hand.
There we go.
Right.
Please don't die.
That's not jelly, guys.
No.
It's not.
No.
Don't eat it.
I told you.
Don't eat it.
I couldn't get over how gorgeous she looked, actually.
I mean, she took me back a step or two, and so I was like, this is so cool.
Oh, hi.
Best thing about her is her sense of humor.
She really kept up to pace.
I thought I was falling behind a little bit, but yeah, we got along well.
Courtney's definitely a girlfriend material, absolutely.
Because you guys are so amazing, the alcohol's off.
Hello.
Aren't you fancy?
Thank you so much.
Don't choke.
Don't choke?
Yeah, don't choke.
Breathe.
Get that composure.
Composure, right.
Can we take the bottle?
Can we?
Thank you.
Take care.
Have a lovely evening.
I appreciate it.
You're not even going to wait for the gentleman rushing off to get your bottle?
Yeah, just rushing off.
I'm waiting for him.
I'm waiting.
Look at you.
There we go.
Would you like to see each other again?
Who's answering first?
Let's go.
One, two, three.
Yes.
Oh, well done.
Ten points.
Okay.
Oh, good.
Thanks, Mitchell.
I've still got the bottle of wine, you know.
Right.
Just up the road.
Absolutely.
It is a school night.
Putting on your nails like that, I'm like, okay.
Really?
Yeah.
No, I like nails.
Like, I'm fond of nails.
Like, even your toes.
If you paint them, like, I'm like, I'm that boyfriend.
I've never been on a blind date.
So all my friends are bad.
They've never set me up on a blind date.
Tonight's first dater is no stranger to the spotlight.
Public speaker and church administrator, Cynthia.
Good question, right?
You know what's the best answer I had from somebody who has a deep crush on me recently?
He said to me, I am so scared of you.
Hello.
How are you?
Great, how are you?
I'm very well, thank you.
You're looking so gorgeous.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
What's your name?
My name is Cynthia.
Cynthia?
Yes.
Okay.
Being single in SA is hard.
Because you don't know when the next man is going to come.
Cynthia, hang on a little bit longer.
Just a little bit longer.
The nerves.
Yeah, it tends to get to everyone.
Where are you from?
I'm from Boxburg.
From Boxburg, okay.
Cool.
You've been at Local.
I love it.
And what do you do?
I'm a public speaker.
Public speaker?
Yeah.
Slash musician.
All of a sudden I've become very conscious of how I speak.
Do you think I should switch it up?
No, please don't be.
Okay, cool.
No false pretenses here.
I love it, eh?
Judge-free zone.
Absolutely.
So what are you looking for?
I'm looking for a friend, man.
A friend?
Yeah.
He has to be a bit taller than I am.
Yeah.
But then he has to...
The first thing I look at in a guy when he walks through the door is his shoes.
Am I weird?
Yes.
The shoes and the belt and the watch tell me a lot about who he is.
Suited and booted, financial accountant Mike knows exactly what he wants.
My motto is, if you want it, go get it.
Hi.
Good to see you. How are you?
I'm well, and yourself?
I'm well, thanks.
Welcome to our first day's restaurant.
Thank you.
Right now I'm looking for a person that will be a friend to me.
You know, I'm looking for a soul, someone that we are able to connect,
we communicate, we have same language.
Hi.
How are you?
Good, thanks. How are you?
Good, thanks.
Mike.
Hi, Mike.
Good, nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Cynthia.
Is that a professional hug?
What do you think?
No, because I like this.
That may be something professional.
Oh, you want to try it again?
Oh yeah, why not.
Hi.
Thank you.
What can I get you?
Your glass of red wine.
Glass of red wine.
Yeah.
Dry red?
Dry red.
Cool.
Cheers.
To?
To a great evening?
To a great evening.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Let's hope it will be a great evening.
No, I'm kidding.
You just say let's hope.
I'm kidding.
I know it will be.
It looks like it already.
Can I take you through to your table?
Yeah, thank you.
Yes?
All right, let's go right this way.
All right, I'll get someone to attend to you guys in just a moment.
Thank you.
Do you have any kids?
No, I don't.
Do you have kids?
I do.
How many?
Two.
I've not been privileged yet.
Oh, what?
As yet.
Are you waiting?
I've been waiting and it seems like the wait has been longer.
Oh, it's something that you...
Longer than I expected.
Have you been in relationships or...
Yeah, I have.
I have.
I was engaged to be married to a guy I thought was just amazing
until a couple of months into the relationship
because he proposed quite early
because I'm one person who believes in sex after marriage.
So, the guy paid Nobola in less than six months.
I thought, no, this guy was serious.
But then his closets just came tumbling down
and I realized this guy was a serial cheater
and at that moment I knew I had to let him go.
That's why it got delayed.
I know some people when they want a child at any point
they say, hey, you know, I want a child now.
It doesn't matter whether it has someone or...
I know, right?
Yeah.
I know, right?
So, you haven't got to that feeling where, like, I feel like I'm...
I think as of last year I was in that point.
So, yeah.
Alrighty.
Are we ready to order?
Oh, have we even looked at the menu?
No worries.
OK, no, it's fine.
I'll go back.
We can order.
I'll have fish.
Fish, which fish?
Grilled.
OK.
Oh, the grilled fish with the minted peas.
Yes.
OK.
I think I'll have the same.
It looks like...
Sounds interesting.
OK.
I love nails.
Like, I mean, if you're putting on your nails like that,
I'm like, OK, this is me.
You're talking to me.
Really?
Yeah, no, I like nails.
Like, I'm fond of nails.
Like, even your toes.
If you paint them, like, I'm like, I'm that boyfriend.
Oh, my God.
OK, I'm in trouble.
OK.
You know, sometimes you meet someone and you get excited immediately
and you, like, can't even hold yourself.
And why?
No, I'm asking, like...
I don't know.
I had experiences where, like, I met someone and I'm, like,
I'm dancing already on top of the tables in my mind.
Oh, in your mind, right?
Yeah, in my mind, yeah.
Like, I'm like...
OK.
Yeah.
OK.
I hardly put myself out there.
I must really, really be comfortable with you.
OK.
I don't want to put myself out there.
I believe God has given me tests and challenges
that has made me who I am today, the strong woman that I am today.
I mean, yeah, I've survived rape, I've survived cancer,
so I'm a survivor.
Getting raped, I was 15.
Was diagnosed with cancer a year later as a result of the rape.
Struggled with cancer for three years, for five years, actually.
Was declared clean in 1990...
Yeah, 1999, yeah.
Oh, OK.
So, your relationships?
I don't know if it's a blessing, but my relationship lasts a longer period.
And how long was your longest?
Longest was...
four years.
You are a keeper.
Such a keeper.
I wouldn't be singing, right? I wouldn't be singing if I was...
Who's a keeper, is it you or the other way round?
Are you ready to pay?
Yeah.
Gentlemen, are you paying?
Of course.
Well, I've got some good news for the gentlemen.
Drinks are on the house.
Press of my card doesn't decline.
Fingers crossed.
Let's cross fingers.
How was the date?
It was awesome!
It was awesome. It was awesome.
I thought you guys found exactly what I was thinking about.
So you found exactly what I wanted.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
Thank you for hosting us.
Did it go well?
It was a lovely evening.
All smiles. All smiles.
Would you like to see each other again?
Ask him.
Why can't you tell for yourself?
Would you want to see me again?
But I'll ask first.
Yeah, no, I think...
Why not?
Well, yeah, I think we can see each other again.
Is it what you want?
But she said, would you like to see each other again?
Would you like to see me again?
Yeah.
Okay, I'd like to see you again.
Okay.
Yeah.
Guess what?
I hate vegetables.
Me too.
I want to say cheers to that.
I will not eat a salad on a first date.
Because no good story began with eating a salad.
It gets stuck in your teeth.
There is many things you can deal with,
but a vegetarian is just not one of them.
I have the perfect cure for that.
When it comes to a vegetarian, bacon.
Give a vegetarian bacon,
and let's see how long they stay a vegetarian.
Especially if it's an English loaf,
with Danish butter,
and German bacon.
Okay, German bacon.
Come on, those guys invented bratwurst.
That is so unusual,
because I thought I was the only person that thinks like that.
I told you.
Wow.
I love comics.
Inside, I'm a huge nerd.
Really?
Actually, I'm terrified to tell you some of the things I like.
Okay, try me.
All the Avengers.
Awesome.
Dragon Ball Z.
Wow, we're going down an alley here.
Okay, listening.
I have Yu-Gi-Oh cards that I still have from...
Oh my word, I remember those.
I still have the deck.
It's collector's items now, I'm sure.
All of a sudden, now it's a collector's item.
Yeah, it would be.
I do have to ask one question.
Okay.
Marvel or DC?
Marvel.
I am Captain Marvel.
I am Iron Man.
Nice to meet you, Captain Marvel.
You're welcome.
Do you play any instruments?
A little bit of the drums.
Do you?
Yeah.
Okay.
A little bit of piano.
Really?
Since you were talking about music, songs that you listened to growing up.
Are you going to laugh?
This is actually what I'm going to do.
Are you ready?
Frank Sinatra, Connie Francis, Nat King Cole.
If this was a betting game, I would say I see your Nat King Cole.
Yes, with?
Frank Sinatra.
And you raise me with what?
I'm going to raise you with Elvis Presley.
Okay.
Billie Holiday.
Wow.
And I'm talking vinyl.
I even had Rick Astley on vinyl.
Mamma Mia.
Ever.
One and two or just one?
Both.
There was this play I ended up supposed to be taking part in.
It was based on Mamma Mia.
Alright.
And I ended up getting cast as Sam Carmichael.
Felt sick a week before the show.
Oh my word.
Hospitalised sick.
What happened?
I had a colon infection.
And you missed your debut.
I tell my uncles that.
Do you know what they tell me?
Crap, you're playing the character who plays James Bond.
Yes.
And you would have made an excellent James Bond.
I don't think so.
I think James Bond has a bit of that suave that sets him aside from me.
Well, you look kind of suave walking in going,
Hi, I'm Vicky.
Thanks.
You have no idea how many times I've practised that.
Oh, did you?
Take it easy, take it easy.
Then you obviously want to go overseas sometime.
It was a choice at one stage.
Problem is I can't drive to any of those destinations.
Touché.
I took my nieces to Maputo.
We went on a nice cruise together.
But it was amazing.
I wouldn't mind doing that.
So if it's not the motion, then you're claustrophobic.
I don't mind small spaces.
How do you know?
My place is not that big.
I'm not dying every time I go inside there.
I'm not going to lie to you.
It's been a long time since I laughed with someone else like this and not myself.
Because me, myself and I, we have a great time together.
Oh, do you?
Yeah, we laugh.
The six of us in one room is going to be amazing.
He's not my usual size at all.
I like that we had mutual interest in the same movies.
We have similar interests in our life story.
Thank you, Vicky.
We were never going to split it.
From everything that happened in the day to night, she's really fun to be around.
She didn't stop conversing at any point.
So it was very interactive.
Like, paint your toenails white.
Because that gets me going.
And I would really like to suck your toes.
The Lord did not die on the cross for you to go sucking people's children's toes.
That is gross.
So what are you looking for?
What am I looking for?
Anything with a pulse?
I'm joking, man.
That's horrible.
No, I'm joking, man.
I'm just looking.
I don't know.
I'm looking for a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously, who can have a laugh.
But I'm also looking for someone who is serious about life and about bettering himself.
A man with a car is not necessarily a deal breaker.
It's just convenient.
And confidence.
Confidence is key.
I don't stress too much.
I kind of take life as it goes.
So I kind of live like a no-worry vibe.
It is what it is, is what I say.
20-year-old sports student Matthew is struggling with the local dating scene.
Being single in South Africa is tough stuff, mate.
It's very hard to impress South Africans.
You know, we are a very crazy group of people.
So you're really going to have to bring your A-game if you want to impress someone from this motherland.
I consider myself a deep-sea kind of marlin catch.
It takes effort to catch me.
How's it going, man?
Hey, bro. How are you?
Good, and yourself?
I'm very well, thank you.
I like the hair.
Thank you. I like yours too.
Thanks.
What hair?
This hair.
Oh, this hair.
I'm not looking to settle down.
But at the same time, I don't want to jump different trains.
I want to have a partner to do something with, to take photos with.
Make Instagram videos with, kind of thing.
Is that a man walking in?
Please have a sit down right there.
Thank you so much.
Here's your date.
Hey!
Nice to meet you.
A bit nervous, I see.
No, I was cracking jokes with the boys at the high.
I'm Matthew.
I would get down, but getting back up is a bit of a mission.
So we can hang.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too. It's all good.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
I like the hair. I like it a lot.
We have pretty much the same hair.
Pretty much the same style.
Can I just get a glass of water?
Sure thing.
Thanks.
What sounds really good?
What would you choose?
The lamb shoulder, for sure.
That sounds so bougie.
Lamb shoulder.
Don't make it obvious.
Why not?
Be bougie.
Get a garden salad on the side.
A garden salad?
A garden salad on the side.
That's a joke.
Oh, I'm joking.
I'm here to enjoy myself.
For a starter, I'll just have a chopped salad.
Chopped salad.
Just keep it simple.
And let's go with the lamb shoulder, like you suggested.
I just want to know who's out here ordering cheeseburgers.
A lot of people.
I saw a cheeseburger come past us.
For real?
A lot of people order cheeseburgers.
What's wrong with cheeseburgers?
I just realised I'm at the setting for a cheeseburger.
Stop judging.
Don't be so sweet to her.
Alrighty.
We have one squid,
some peanuts,
and one chopped salad.
Wow, this looks amazing.
I will share food here,
because I live that life.
I'm joking.
My mum dropped me off.
My mum can't drive,
so I have to drive her around.
I can't drive,
so they have to drive me around.
When I got my licence,
she was like,
oh, you can take me everywhere now.
And it's literally,
I'll just get home from somewhere.
And then she'd be like,
oh, can you take me to the shops?
Why can't your mum drive?
Oh, it's a...
OK, let me explain this.
What is the weirdest
dating experience you've had?
Actually, the first date I went on,
well, not the first one.
One of the dates,
I went to go watch a movie,
but I was super nervous
that I asked a friend to come with me.
Wow.
I was sitting in the middle,
and then she was in the right,
and then he was on my left.
I don't know.
It was really weird at the time.
Thinking about it now,
it's really weird.
No, honestly,
it's so cringey.
It was still Spider-Man.
You need to go watch Spider-Man.
Oh, that's exciting.
Mm-hmm.
I think on my side,
there was this guy that I met
on a dating site,
and we were chatting for a while,
and, like, he was really cool,
you know?
And then he was like to me,
so I have, like, a weird fetish.
Mm-hmm.
And he told me that
he was obsessed with toes.
So now I'm thinking, OK,
is it like you want to
see pictures of toes?
You want to touch them?
He was legit like,
I want to suck your toes.
Wow, that's weird, eh?
And I was like, sorry, what?
And he was like, yes,
please, like,
paint your toenails white.
Stickers, that gets me going.
Whoa.
And I would really like
to suck your toes.
The Lord did not die on the cross
for you to go sucking
people's children's toes.
That is gross.
That's where I draw the line.
If someone told me,
oh, I have a foot fetish
or, like, a toe fetish,
I'd be like, OK,
but I want to suck your toes.
I'd be like, nah.
Nah, dude.
Imagine, like, putting your
whole foot in someone's mouth
and thinking that's OK.
Nah, nah, nah,
that's not OK.
I think we kind of bounced
off each other's energy
really well.
I think it was kind of
realizing that he's just
as weird as I am.
We all have, like,
our little quirks
and whatnot,
which is really nice.
I'm not enjoying this anymore
because I'm forcing it down.
The thing about the fact
that in Cape Town
there's no water,
so, you know,
The water just isn't as good.
I've got to enjoy
the job at water.
What went through my mind,
she's a little extra.
I saw her hair
and I was like, wow,
this is something different,
which I really like.
Drinks are on the house.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Oh, cool.
So I guess the water
is free then.
You can enjoy
what they charge, right?
Hearted.
What's up?
Are you happy
that you didn't
waste any water?
Would you like to
see each other again?
Who's going to answer first?
Rock, rock.
Let's rock, paper, scissors
and then whoever wins...
I ******* rock, paper...
Okay, fine.
Ready.
Sugar nuts.
You go first.
That's the sign of a good date
when you just don't
want it to end, hey.
Is there going to be
a second date?
I say yes.
Okay.
We can do this.
Are we just going to go ahead
and make decisions
without me?
There will be a second date.
So I don't even have
a say in this.
Well, I think he said
there's going to be
a second date soon.
Apparently, there's going
to be a second date.
What can I say
except you're welcome.
What went through my mind
when I saw my date
for the first time was...
Oh, okay.
I wasn't expecting
his funkiness.
I was at Fashion Week
in 2017
and this old short woman,
you know,
she was like,
hey.
And I was like,
hello.
And she was like,
what do you do?
And I was like,
I'm a student
at Fisk University, ma'am.
And then she was like,
oh, are you not
a model, young man?
And I was like,
me?
No.
And she's like,
just give me a card.
And I think I like
signed with her
for like a couple months
and then I like
eventually left.
Awesome.
Great.
Full-time law student,
part-time model Alan
wants to brush up
on his dating life.
Hey, sir.
How are you?
All good?
I'm very well and yourself.
Great, I'm great.
Good, what's your name?
My name is Alan.
Alan?
Yeah.
Alan, you have
a very distinct accent.
Where are you from?
I'm Zimbabwean and English.
Okay.
All right,
good to meet you, Alan.
I think I look more like
a lost member
of One Direction
than I do a model.
To be honest.
Like a boy band member
or something.
I am such a flirt.
My sister always says,
Sybil can flirt with the wall.
Like, just give her
a glass of wine
and she can flirt
with the wall.
Hi.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm well and yourself.
Thank you.
Yeah, what's your name?
Sybil.
Sybil?
Yeah.
Sybil, I love your name.
Thank you.
What does it mean?
Wise woman in Greek.
Hola, wise woman.
Right.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Can I take your jacket, please?
Yes, please.
All right.
I am looking for
a well-dressed,
good-looking lawyer.
It's not a bad thing.
I would not
complain about that.
All right, this way.
Please have a seat.
How are you?
I'm good, and you?
Awesome.
How are you?
I'm Sybil.
Sybil.
Syk, Syk.
Nice to meet you.
I hope you're not too nervous.
Not really.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hey, how's it going?
I'm good, and you?
Oh, man, I'm fantastic.
Cool.
Cool, cool, cool.
Are you Sybil?
Thanks, yeah.
I hope you're not nervous.
I was,
but not anymore.
Not anymore
because of how charming
everyone here is?
I mean, it helps.
I love your earrings.
You're so cool and sparkling.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Where are you from?
I'm Zimbabwean and English.
Really?
English like England?
Yeah.
Which part?
Like the queen.
Like the queen, right.
Okay, I was thinking like Meghan Markle.
Yo, that's actually pretty funny.
That works.
What do you do?
I'm a private chef.
That's so cool.
Is it?
Oh, my.
Give me a high five.
Yeah.
That's wonderful.
What do you do?
What do you cook?
Okay, fine.
What do I cook?
Tell me what you cook
and I'll tell you whatever the hell you want.
Yeah, I cook a lot of stuff, I guess.
Everything, yeah.
That's wonderful.
Yeah.
That's wonderful.
What do you do?
Law student at university.
Okay.
It's like your passion or something?
Just, I guess, humanitarian work.
Yeah.
My passion, yeah.
Like what?
I guess it was a gateway
to like helping other people and stuff.
Like my mom is...
Oh, God.
Don't be that guy bringing up his mom on the first date.
Jesus.
Are you nervous?
I'm not nervous at all.
Really?
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Hey, Ellen, are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay, it's good to check with your multiple personalities.
Wait, are you...
You're pretty funny.
You're quite funky.
I'm quite funky?
Yeah.
I've never been called funky before.
Really?
That's not true.
I've been called funky a lot.
Because, like, you're like...
Fresh Prince of Ballet, right?
You're like hella funky.
You're like 90s funky.
Yeah.
You were telling me about the music.
You see, like...
Oh, yeah, right.
I guess that kind of segues into like how funky I am.
Right, right, right.
A lot of, I guess, hip-hop and grungy rock music.
Okay.
Really great what I grew up on.
You know how it's like when you have older cousins
who like listen to protectionist music.
Right.
And then you grew up in England.
Then you get the grunge.
She's reading me like a book.
I mean, I've got family in England, too,
so it's like I know.
Perfect combination.
Right?
We already make a kick-ass team.
I mean, what?
It's crazy.
Yeah.
What music do you listen to?
Everything.
Let me guess.
Okay.
I do.
Spoilers?
I do.
To be supporting.
You want to guess?
Okay.
Okay, cool.
I'm just trying to analyze you.
I'm very—
That's—
The first one should be the easiest for you.
What?
Beyoncé?
Because every girl loves Beyoncé.
Well, like, I love Beyoncé.
Yeah, I like Beyoncé, too.
Do you usually eat on dates?
Like, the first one?
I don't think I've ever, like,
eaten, like, full food on a date in my life.
On the first date in my life.
Really?
Hmm.
Why not?
I have no idea.
It's usually drinks.
Like, lots and lots and lots of drinks.
Drinks?
On a first date?
Yeah.
Really?
Who are you dating?
No, you're just, like, really British.
Oh.
That's, like—
That's so English.
I'll have a look at it.
Okay.
How much do you want?
Are you—
Um, I don't know.
But I'll, like, pay a majority.
You'll what?
I'll pay a majority of it.
Aw.
I don't want to undermine your womanliness at all.
Why wouldn't you want to undermine me?
By—
I don't know.
You seem like all women empowerment and stuff.
By paying for the bill?
You'd be under—
I don't know.
I don't—
I don't know.
You are cray-cray.
Um, what went through my mind when I saw my date for the first time was—
Oh, okay.
I wasn't expecting his—
his funkiness.
Got a surprise for you guys.
Oh.
Oh my god, I love surprises.
Drinks on the house.
We have, like, great banter.
Like, I thought we got along very well.
But there wasn't that aspect of, like, what's, you know, special and unique about you.
Thank you so much.
Can I help you with that?
Yes, please.
There you go.
She's my date, buddy.
No problem.
Too slow, buddy.
Hey, champ.
Hey.
High five.
Thumbs up.
I'm glad to hear that.
All right, travel well.
Would you like to see each other again?
You're going to rock, paper, scissors, eh?
That was horrible.
Not okay.
I think it's—
What do you think?
What do you mean, what do I think?
Do you want to have, like, a little session and talk about it?
Just say what you think.
Yeah, so—
Ladies first.
Okay.
I think it's more platonic.
Yes.
Yeah, exactly what I thought as well.
Yeah.
We're, like, best mates.
Yeah, we're, like, friends.
Which is cool as well.
Bye.
I didn't enter.
Lisa entered.
So after a few drinks, then my friends call me Lisa.
She's a lot more brave than Ursula.
Okay.
So Lisa entered.
And here I am.
Do you have a motto that you live by?
Play hard, work hard, and be kind to people.
I've been single for about four years now.
I'm definitely ready for something new.
32-year-old digital sales consultant Ronald
is looking for someone to take the loneliness out of his home life.
I do get lonely sometimes.
Tired of working.
You know, whatever's on TV is boring.
Then you get lonely.
My favourite feature would be a good attitude.
And nice hair.
I've had short hair once in high school.
Didn't really like it, didn't work for me.
So I've never cut my hair since.
I think I'll just stay with the long hair.
Here to let her hair down for love
is 36-year-old IT business owner Ursula.
I've been single for quite a few years now.
Not due to lack of trying from my part.
It's just I've tried everything.
I've gone on dating app that's out there.
But you don't meet true, genuine people there.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm well and yourself.
Good, thank you.
Good. What's your name?
Ursula.
Are you okay? You seem nervous.
I'm very.
I said I wouldn't giggle, but I am.
You know what, don't be nervous at all.
Okay.
Just be yourself.
Ooh, your date's here.
Oh, really?
Yeah, exciting.
I can't see her.
Please follow me.
Thank you.
I'm not one of those girls that wants all the big muscles.
But not a pretty boy metro.
No, I want a man, old school man.
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
Fine and you?
Good, good.
Ursula.
Hi.
How's it?
Hi, how are you?
Fine, thanks. How are you?
Good, good.
Cool, cool, cool. Can I get you a drink?
Do you have champagne?
Yes, by the glass.
Please.
It's nice that they have champagne by the glass.
Because, you know, a lot of places don't.
Thank you.
There you go. Enjoy.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Nice meeting you.
And you too.
So, I didn't enter.
Okay.
Lisa entered.
Right.
After a few drinks, then my friends call me Lisa.
And she's a lot more brave than Ursula.
Okay.
So, Lisa entered.
And here I am.
If I do have a few too many tequilas,
my friends do change my name to Lisa.
Lisa's maybe a little bit more spontaneous than Ursula.
She's a lot of fun.
You're meeting Ursula though.
That's okay.
I'm good with Ursula.
Maybe we'll meet...
Lisa.
Lisa later.
Maybe.
What does it take for Lisa to come out?
A lot of alcohol.
So, I don't think you guys would meet Lisa, no.
Can I offer you guys some tequilas?
Two gold tequilas.
Sure.
It's a party up in here.
You only live once.
You know what?
All right.
Two tequilas coming up.
Thank you.
Wow.
I'm pretty much, as I am here,
I am when I've, you know, when I've had a couple of drinks.
Thank you.
Two tequilas.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Goodness.
There we go.
Thanks.
All right.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
Happy next tequila.
Okay.
Gosh, here it goes.
Awesome.
To first dates.
Cheers.
To first dates.
What are you looking for in a woman?
Kindness.
Good hair.
Such a weird thing to say, but okay, it's important.
Okay.
I'm not a fan of short hair.
Okay.
If I can explain like that.
Like somebody who's, it's a tricky one,
but like somebody who's got a bit of emotional intelligence, right?
Yeah.
Because I find people sometimes struggle with that unknowingly,
which is not their fault, technically.
But, you know, you've got to be aware of like what's going on
and things like that.
And yourself?
I know what I'm not looking for,
but if somebody were to say sum up somebody
that you could click with immediately,
I would say rugged caveman with manners.
I don't think that's too fashionable.
No, it does.
It does.
I can?
It does.
Because you can be old school.
Right.
Because chivalry died, in my opinion.
Chivalry died years ago.
Not all bad boys.
Maybe you're hanging out at the wrong places.
No, listen.
There's a reason I'm single.
Right.
How old are you?
33 on Friday.
Wow, OK.
A lot more mature than most of the 32-year-olds I've met.
I'm a caveman.
A lot more mature.
Thanks.
I'll take this coffee.
Ten out of ten.
Ten out of ten?
For maturity.
Wow.
OK.
I prefer an old soul.
OK.
Hi.
It's about bedtime.
OK.
I have your bill right here.
Thank you.
Good payment card.
She fits a lot of what I'm looking for in a woman on a visual basis.
Right, right, right.
Cool.
OK.
Thank you very much.
Drinks are on the house.
Compliments of the chef.
Oh, wow.
Drinks are on the house?
Yes.
Thank you.
That's good news.
How many more tequilas till we sell these?
I think Lisa's a rafter.
Hello.
Hi.
Finally.
Cool.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you.
It's an absolute pleasure.
Would you like to see each other again?
You first.
OK.
Sure.
You know, it was a really stressful situation and I'd definitely like to see you again.
Yeah, I'd like to see him again, yes.
I wonder where we're going to go on our second date.
I don't know.
Where will your second date be?
Probably around the corner.
Yeah.
Just down the road, I think.
Yeah.
