Porn Star Martinis and Primary School Stories | First Dates

Teaching assistant Lauren is feeling the pressure to find her Mr Right. I work with three to five year olds, and it is the best job I've ever had. There have been some who say, Mr, you have a boyfriend. I say, no. Why do you have a boyfriend? And they're like, oh, Bob's my boyfriend. And you say, oh, I do love that age. Hi, are you OK? How are you? I'm good, thank you. Are you? Very good. Tell me, what's written on your...? It says, have courage and be kind. In French, it's a Cinderella quote. Oh, really? Yeah, of the film. Avoir du courage et être gentil. Yeah, you could say it better than me. Back when I was a bit younger, Disney made me feel like the fairy tale life is real, and that Prince Charming was going to walk into my life. But now I don't live in a fairy tale. I'm not stupid. Can I get you a drink first, Lauren? Yes, please. Shall we go with a porn star martini? Yeah, of course. Thank you. So when was the last time you had a boyfriend? About four years ago. Four years ago. Yeah, like, I've had flings since then. But nothing long-term? No, no. I've got, like, a magnet for boys. I've heard this term before. Yeah, like, they make you a bit of a player, a bit of a dickhead. So I kind of want a retired footballer. Right, OK, yeah. I want to change. I don't like that behaviour, but I like that attitude, like, where they're very laid-back. But I want to find someone who is a nice guy. I'd like someone to just, like, chill with on my movie and take my notes. Yeah, exactly. Lauren's date is teaching assistant graduate Ben. Don't look directly in the camera. Yeah, just look at me. How's that? Stupid camera, I've got to stop looking at the camera. Ah, I keep doing it, I'm sorry. OK, ready? I'm... I just looked at the camera. Hello, how are you? How are you? What's your name, please? Ben. Ben, yeah. OK, I've got you here. Perfect. I am very excited, actually. I'm probably more excited than nervous at the moment, actually. Are you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. I've been single now for about two years. Because all my other siblings are in relationships, my mum just keeps telling me to grow up now and I need to settle down and she wants more grandkids. I've done all the typical stuff. I'm getting to that age now, I think, well, yeah, let's give it a go. Well, look, your date is at the bar in the red. Yes. OK. And she believes in fairy tales. She's going to love me because I worked for Disney for five years. If I told you that my boss was a cartoon mouse, you probably wouldn't believe that, would you? So, yeah, I worked at the Disney store for five years. I would like somebody who is social, light-hearted and quite fun. Probably I'm looking for my Cinderella, but let's hope she's not clumsy enough to lose her shoe. Thank you. Hi. Hello. Hi. How are you? I'm good, thanks. Nice to meet you. My name's Lauren. Hi. Yeah, I'm good, thank you. Lauren, my name's Ben. Hi, Ben. Did you get caught in the rain, did you? No, luckily not. No, I didn't. What do you do? I'm a teaching assistant. Are you? No way. Primary, secondary, college? Primary, early years. What do you do? I'm a GTA, so it's a graduate teaching assistant at a university. OK. That sounds very educational. Yeah, so we're in the same, similar industries. Can you grab me one of the little straws behind the big straws? There's a little one there. I didn't see them. Oh. Two. Well, yeah, because I've ruined my lipstick now. I need to stir it a little bit.
