00:00We made it, we're in Dublin.
00:17It's rainy, but it's OK.
00:23My name is Amber, I'm 38, and I am from Fort Worth, Texas.
00:30I'm here.
00:34As a makeup artist, I love to meet all different types of people.
00:38I was born with the gift of gab.
00:47OK, so I just got through customs,
00:49and the guy at customs was flirting with me,
00:50so it's looking pretty promising.
00:54I just don't know where the heck my luggage is.
00:58I've dated for almost three decades,
01:00and still haven't met the one that I think would be my husband,
01:04which is bonkers.
01:07I have experienced so many letdowns.
01:10American men, they just want instant gratification
01:13of what feels good to them right now.
01:16And they don't think about the future.
01:17You're not going to have a good day every day with your spouse.
01:20But you know that person deep down, and you'll work it out.
01:24That's what I need.
01:26I want a man that loves me enough to always fight for me,
01:29and not just get mad at me that day and discard me.
01:33And so I needed to expand my horizons.
01:35That's why I traveled 4,500 miles to Ireland
01:38to find the love of my life.
01:41Can you hear me say hello?
01:43Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:49Can you hear me say hello?
01:55You look so pretty.
01:57Oh, God.
01:58You look so beautiful.
02:00And you.
02:00And you.
02:01I'm so excited.
02:02Oh, no.
02:04I'm Katarina, I'm a European matchmaker based in Prague, the Czech Republic.
02:09But I travel constantly, I speak five foreign languages,
02:13and I work with all sorts of people all over the world to find love.
02:19Finally, we are meeting in person.
02:21You're going to meet the love of your life now.
02:24Ireland is one of my favorite places to match American clients
02:28because the opposites attract.
02:30The Americans usually rush into everything when it comes to their dating life,
02:36while the Irish really take things slow.
02:39And this will benefit Amber because she rushes into things, and she's impatient.
02:45So she needs to learn to do things differently.
02:49You're excited?
02:50I'm more than excited.
02:51Oh my God.
02:54Let me help you with the luck.
02:56I can't even believe that we're here.
02:58We are here, and this is really happening for you.
03:00Oh my gosh.
03:02I searched high and low, and I have found the perfect matchmaker in Katarina.
03:07When she told me the chivalry is alive and well in Ireland still,
03:10I said, carpe diem, seize the day.
03:15How is it for you?
03:16Because you haven't traveled that much, right?
03:17Is this the first time out of the U.S.?
03:19Yes, to Europe for sure.
03:21It was a great flight.
03:22Well, you might be taking these flights regularly from now on,
03:25so be ready for that.
03:26Here's hoping.
03:27Yeah.
03:27Choosing to date in Ireland was a huge decision for me.
03:32Being African-American, a lot of us don't know where we came from,
03:35and I'm very proud of my African roots,
03:36and I know a lot about that part of my history.
03:39However, growing up, my family would say we also had Irish descent,
03:43and while I'm not naive to how that may have happened,
03:45I've always been curious about the Irish side of me.
03:48Like, the history, the people, the culture,
03:51I've always wanted to come and experience what it would be like.
03:54Oh, be careful!
03:56Oh, that bag is so heavy!
03:57I definitely have dated out of my race.
04:00Humans are humans, so at the end of the day,
04:02if he's white, brown, purple, blue,
04:04it doesn't matter to me as long as he's nice and true.
04:07And I love that.
04:08Irish men are very family-oriented.
04:11I heard they're much more relaxed.
04:13And, of course, they're very sexy.
04:16I love their accents.
04:18I love their masculinity.
04:20Colin Farrell is the ultimate good-looking Irish man to me.
04:24Like, he is a manly man, you know.
04:27He's fit.
04:28He's smart.
04:29He's an entrepreneur.
04:31It's a big turn-on, yes.
04:32One thing really strikes me.
04:38You have been engaged three times.
04:41Yes.
04:42And what the crazy thing is,
04:44I've been engaged three times,
04:45but I've never wanted to be married to them.
04:49You know?
04:49Mm-hmm.
04:50I feel like it was out of convenience,
04:52maybe a little bit out of low self-esteem at that time.
04:56Okay.
04:56But now I couldn't even know.
04:58So where are you at right now?
04:59Right now, I'm open to love at first sight.
05:04Mm-hmm.
05:05One thing, when it comes to dating,
05:08it is about wanting real deep connection.
05:11For sure.
05:12I also know that I can take it a little bit slower than before
05:14and not feel so rushed,
05:15because I know what I really want now.
05:17Yeah.
05:18And I know what I deserve.
05:19And that wind just hit me.
05:21Oh, my gosh.
05:23Oh, my gosh.
05:26It doesn't take much for me to fall in love.
05:28All my exes have one thing in common,
05:31and they are experts at love bombing.
05:33I get wrapped up in romance so easy.
05:37That's how my dating life kind of has been.
05:39World win romances,
05:41and then when the wind is gone, you're dropping.
05:43Why have you been engaged three times
05:47and never got married?
05:50Honestly, I was engaged before my life transitioned.
05:54So once I started working on my health
05:56and getting healthy, controlling my heart failure,
05:59that's when I really started knowing what my worth is.
06:02I see life differently now.
06:04Now I want to be sure that I'm with the right guy.
06:07So I'm ready now.
06:09Wow.
06:11This trip to Ireland is literally the start of a new life.
06:16In 2018, I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.
06:20I had a cough.
06:21Like, it would not stop.
06:23When I went to the hospital,
06:25they said my heart was only working 20%,
06:28and they told me, literally,
06:30if I wouldn't have went that night,
06:31I wouldn't have made it another day or a half.
06:34I had one nurse that told me, like,
06:36I don't ever want to see you back here.
06:39You know, you're too young.
06:41You had too much life to live.
06:44When I was in the hospital,
06:46I was just thinking to myself,
06:47I'll never be able to have a baby.
06:49I'll never be able to have a wedding
06:51because I just did not see myself getting better.
06:56But I got out.
06:58Every year has been better.
07:01Every year has been a blessing.
07:03Are you riding with me?
07:05No, I am not.
07:06I'm seeing another client,
07:07but I will see you shortly.
07:09Okay.
07:09Well, keep in touch with another hug.
07:10I'll see you soon.
07:11Get out of this rain.
07:13I love it.
07:14Have a safe trip and have fun.
07:17I will.
07:18I wanted all my love songs to come true
07:21The perfect melody to break through
07:24Thought that I would always sing with you
07:28But suddenly, but suddenly
07:30I have a second chance in life
07:34and I want to take every opportunity
07:36to do all the things
07:38that I never thought I would have the chance to do
07:39when I was diagnosed.
07:42I'm ready to find love in a husband
07:44and that's the only thing I'm missing in my life.
07:48I'm about to get my pot of gold.
07:49I'm claiming it.
08:08Got no plans
08:09Honey, golden sands
08:11We're California dreamin'
08:14How are you guys doing today?
08:21Mommy, I didn't sleep very good.
08:23I was very tired.
08:25I didn't sleep good either, mommy.
08:27And I'm hungry.
08:29Want some chicken?
08:31I'm Monica.
08:32I'm 41 years old
08:33and I'm from Newport Beach, California.
08:35I do live alone
08:40but I'm not physically alone.
08:43I have a dog named Blue
08:44and a cat named Creamy
08:46and they keep me so busy.
08:51You want to run?
08:53You want to run, buddy?
08:54I describe myself as someone
08:56who's very energetic.
08:58I still think I look pretty good.
08:59I work out.
09:00You're the type of girl
09:01who can drive a man crazy
09:03I have 37 half marathon medals
09:07and then I have two full marathon medals
09:09so I'm living a pretty damn good life.
09:12So Blue, what do you think of a mama?
09:14Date somebody?
09:16I don't know, mommy.
09:17I would be scared.
09:20But I don't know that it's my best life yet.
09:23I think it would be the best
09:24if I had someone that I trusted
09:27and I could share those things with them.
09:30That then, I think, would make it my best life.
09:33Hey, how you doing?
09:34What's your name and where you from?
09:35Did you come in here, buddy?
09:37Are you looking for the one?
09:39Are you looking for some trouble?
09:40Well, I think it all you know.
09:42Are you ready for today?
09:44I'm ready, mommy.
09:45I want to have a good day.
09:47Mom, stop.
09:49He doesn't understand.
09:51Yes, he does.
09:53Not at all, actually.
09:56I am a single mother to my daughter, Alyssa.
09:58She's 21 years old.
10:01She's a Division I basketball player
10:03on a Fulbright scholarship.
10:05And she is just the light of my life.
10:09I was 19 years old when I got pregnant with Alyssa.
10:12Alyssa's dad.
10:13And I divorced by the time Alyssa was 18 months old.
10:16And I had full custody of her.
10:18So for 18 years, she lived with me until about three years ago when she moved away to go to college.
10:25Feels good to be home, huh?
10:26Yeah.
10:27I'm not having to cook or clean or do any of that.
10:30You can clean here.
10:31You can clean here, by the way.
10:34But right now, Alyssa is home visiting for two months before she goes back to school.
10:40Yeah, I know.
10:41It's nice.
10:41I love having you home, babe.
10:42It's just not so quiet.
10:45Not so alone.
10:47Yeah.
10:47Dating as a young single mom was super hard.
10:52There would be guys that wouldn't date me because I was a mom.
10:56I've built a wall.
10:58And every year, it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
11:01Are you ready to go?
11:03Yeah.
11:13So, you're excited?
11:16I'm nervous.
11:17Mm-hmm.
11:18Like, what if I don't meet someone?
11:21I've tried the apps.
11:22I've tried meeting people at the gym.
11:24Alyssa, I'm ghosted.
11:26I'm treated like crap.
11:28Why am I single?
11:30Like, what is it?
11:31Like, since Alyssa's moved out, I have done a little bit of dating.
11:37But it sucks.
11:40Dating sucks.
11:42The guys that I meet just simply do not want to date just one person.
11:48I mean, it's crazy.
11:49I have so much I have to offer, and it's never enough.
11:53Even dudes in their 50s and 60s just want the next best thing, the new pretty girl.
11:59And, like, that's not the guy I want.
12:01So, why did you choose Brazil?
12:05I thought about my spirituality.
12:08And Brazil is predominantly Catholic.
12:11That was a huge, huge draw to that country, right?
12:14My faith is super important to me, and Brazil has the largest Catholic population in the world.
12:22Plus, Brazilian men are, like, super hot, right?
12:26Who wouldn't want that?
12:27I can see myself lying on a beach, and this, like, tall, dark, gorgeous, chiseled man emerging out of the water like a specimen that you just want to lick from head to toe.
12:49I think they're the finest, hottest, sexiest men alive.
12:55Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya.
13:01Sign me up.
13:02So, once I figured out the country, I started to do some research about some matchmakers, and was led through Internet searching to Luisa.
13:12My name is Luisa Vonu, and I'm a relationship coach and a matchmaker.
13:29I help my clients with strategies for them to have mental and emotional connection.
13:38I teach them to ask deeper questions before going to bed, before kissing, before the chemistry.
13:46This is more important.
13:49Monica is a strong woman.
13:51She's competitive.
13:52But I don't think she is that open to a relationship.
13:55She has been raising her daughter for the last 20 years, and she needs to learn to put herself in first place.
14:05And I can help her asking hard questions and looking for red flags so she can have a good relationship, a healthy one.
14:15I think if you really want to do this, and you really want it to work, you need to let down your guard.
14:26I understand.
14:28And if you can't do it for yourself like you did your whole life, do it for me.
14:37And, like, it's just important, because I don't know how much longer I can come home from college.
14:43I know.
14:46I don't know.
14:48Oh, boy.
14:49Like, we might not see each other for months.
14:52I think it's important for my mom to find a true companion, just so I have to worry less.
14:57I just feel like sometimes the pressure's on me to come back home and to make her happy.
15:01And at the end of the day, that's not, it's not realistic.
15:05She has to be with somebody that can make her happy and just be there for her.
15:11I don't want to be alone.
15:14I know.
15:15And that's why this is so important.
15:19You don't know how badly I want this for you.
15:23Thanks, babe.
15:25Yeah, this will be all right.
15:26This is the right time.
15:28You are growing up.
15:30You are grown up.
15:31And you have a lot of life to live.
15:33Oh, jeez.
15:34Um, yeah, no.
15:35So, but I need to, I need someone I can talk to and listen to and be there when you're gone.
15:39You just need, you need to give this an opportunity, okay?
15:45Mm-hmm.
15:47Do it for me.
15:48Okay.
15:49Okay?
15:49I'm gonna be okay.
15:52I've used the last 20 years of my life to raise my daughter.
15:55But honestly, I think I've used that as an excuse because dating scares me so much.
16:00Love you.
16:02Love you.
16:02But I know it's absolutely not fair to Alyssa to feel the pressure that she's the centerpiece
16:09of my life.
16:11That was never my intention.
16:13And I hope that by doing this trip and learning to love myself and be able to be independent
16:19of her is going to be not only good for me, but exceptionally good for her as well.
16:32I found luggage.
16:33Yay.
16:35My plan is to move to Singapore if I find my soulmate.
16:38Right away.
16:39I'm all packed up.
16:39Just ready to go.
16:41Harold.
16:42Welcome.
16:42Hey, darling.
16:43Welcome to Singapore.
16:44Singaporean women are beautiful and sexy.
16:48Did it hurt?
16:49Did it hurt?
16:50What?
16:50When you fell from heaven.
16:59How's your painting?
17:00I'm doing good.
17:02You had a big smile on your face.
17:03You must be doing good.
17:05Yes, I'm almost finished.
17:09What do you think?
17:11Oh, wow.
17:12Oh, you're just saying that.
17:14You're my grandmother.
17:14You have to say that.
17:17I'm Harold.
17:18I'm 43.
17:19I got my core.
17:21I am an artist and creative soul.
17:23I am an artiste.
17:26I'm just about finished.
17:27Oh, good.
17:28I'm just starting another drawing.
17:30I live basically everywhere in the United States because I am a senior radiation protection
17:35tech.
17:35I go from power plant to power plant for three months.
17:39Then I have three months off.
17:40So right now I'm living with my 90-year-old grandmother in Irving, Texas.
17:45I have really enjoyed spending time with you here.
17:49But I miss you for a little while and then I'm okay.
17:52I go off with my lady friends.
17:54I hope to make some lady friends too.
17:56I guess I'm easy on the eye.
18:02At my age, living with my grandmother, it's not tragic, depressing, or sad at all.
18:08Maybe a little bit on the weekends when I watch a full season of Star Trek, then the next
18:13season.
18:14You'll know when it's the right one.
18:18You'll sense it.
18:19Some would call it sex appeal.
18:24It must be je ne sais quoi.
18:26I started drawing my dreams.
18:29I dreamt of this cute girl holding a little dog.
18:33Oh, yes, yes.
18:34I love the family, a little dog.
18:36I think it's cute.
18:38I'm very eager to live on my own with my future wife.
18:41But dating in America hasn't worked out for me.
18:43Lately, I've switched locations on all dating apps and I've found that I had the most success
18:47in Singapore, I think, because they see me as tall and cute.
18:52So I wish to go to Singapore to have my luck change.
19:04First, Singaporean women are beautiful and sexy.
19:07Also, I noticed that a lot of women over there, they love anime in their dating profile.
19:13Which is really amazing, because it's very nerdy here in America, but I've seen thousands
19:19and thousands of anime.
19:21So it would be really cool if we nerded out on all the same things.
19:31Packing, packing.
19:32Oh, water shoes.
19:34Can't go anywhere without these.
19:37Oh, and I made stickers of my art.
19:40Me as a cupcake with suspenders.
19:43Hey, Grandma, I'm almost ready to go.
19:44I'm coming.
19:48I can't believe I'm leaving for Singapore.
19:50I have been counting the days down for months now.
19:53Oh, this must be my Uber.
19:55Yeah.
19:56My plan is to move to Singapore if I find my soulmate.
19:59Right away.
20:00I'm all packed up.
20:01Just ready to go.
20:03Then may you bring your wife home.
20:05I will.
20:06Be safe.
20:07I'll miss you a lot.
20:08I miss you too.
20:09Bye, Grandma.
20:09Two years ago, I traveled to Prague to find love.
20:16I worked with my matchmaker, Katerina.
20:18Wow.
20:19I can't believe my eyes is this Harold.
20:22Katerina taught me to dress better and to be more clear of what I wanted and what I was
20:27expecting from a relationship.
20:29And I learned so much about myself through that experience.
20:33And Katerina led me to Mikayla, the best thing that had ever happened to me.
20:38I think Mikayla is the first person who ever really got me.
20:41She accepted me for who I was and understood me being on the spectrum.
20:45Oh, look, I'm wearing a Star Trek shirt.
20:47Oh, yes.
20:49Star Trek Academy.
20:50Yeah, I can show you my Star Trek costume.
20:54Oh, that is so cute.
20:56I am autistic and there's a lot of social cues I don't pick up on.
21:00But she was patient and we could speak the same language even though it's not exactly English
21:05or Czech.
21:06It's nerd.
21:09Thank you for the ride.
21:10Even though the connection between me and Mikayla was so strong in person, once I got
21:17back to America, we kind of drifted apart.
21:20She was so busy with work and we couldn't communicate enough, so we broke up.
21:29There it is.
21:40I found my luggage.
21:42Yay.
21:44In order for me to find love again, I must try again.
21:47So I reached out to Katerina to see if she had any matchmakers I could work with in Singapore.
21:54And she introduced me to my matchmaker, Dolly.
22:00Hey, Dolly.
22:01Is that you?
22:03Harold.
22:05Welcome.
22:05Hey, Dolly.
22:06Welcome.
22:06Welcome to Singapore.
22:08How was your flight?
22:09That's good.
22:11This is all you brought.
22:12Yeah, I tried to pack light.
22:14What have you brought?
22:15I brought some drawings.
22:16I brought some sketchbooks.
22:17I brought myself.
22:18I brought my hopes and dreams.
22:20I do want to still get to know you.
22:23So I'm going to jump on a cab with you.
22:26Okay.
22:27Can I help you with the luggage?
22:28Let's go.
22:29Sure.
22:29Here, take the light one.
22:30Oh, okay.
22:33I've been a matchmaker for over 10 years now.
22:36Because of the low birth rate in Singapore, matchmaking is popular here.
22:40The government in the late 80s started matchmaking programs to encourage singles to meet with each other and eventually to getting married and having kids.
22:52So that's why there are more and more matchmakers in Singapore.
22:55I'm absolutely passionate about matchmaking.
22:58I'm constantly on the lookout for my clients.
23:01Everywhere I go, I am in the zone.
23:03So what are you looking forward to the most in your whole experience here?
23:09I'm looking forward to the tips so I can refine my approach.
23:14And I really want to find a look.
23:16Yes.
23:17Do you know what it's all about?
23:20It's being confident.
23:22You need to just up that bandliness in you.
23:26Oh, okay.
23:26Katarina spoke to me about Harold's big heart, but also his lack of confidence.
23:34And I do have an idea of how to work with Harold to help him conquer his weaknesses and let his strengths shine.
23:43I love that you're quirky, Harold.
23:46But if we're trying to keep on my girl, don't be yourself.
23:52Who would you have me be?
23:53Harold version two.
23:58A charming, a suave guy.
24:01Right?
24:01I'm going to help you to improve on your citation skills.
24:07All right.
24:09Did it hurt?
24:11Did it hurt?
24:12What?
24:12When you felt from heaven.
24:13Yep.
24:14Don't do that.
24:15No.
24:19I'm going to be a coach, a teacher.
24:23You know, to nut you in the right way.
24:25You need to sell yourself to go on a second date.
24:29Okay.
24:29Right?
24:32I need to welcome her criticisms.
24:34It's what I need to find love.
24:37I've been craving a lasting love my whole life.
24:39And that's why the past two years have been very hard on me.
24:42I thought I had found it, but it was just a fleeting moment.
24:45I'm 43 years old.
24:46I don't want any more fleeting moments.
24:48I'm ready to have kids.
24:49I'm ready to settle down.
24:51My grandfather had my dad at 71 years old.
24:54I don't want to wait that long to have my family.
24:57So this trip to Singapore is it for me.
24:59It has to work this time.
25:01And I'm going to take Dolly's tips so that I have the best foot forward, best face for meeting my love.
25:08I have never taken any type of leap of faith like this before.
25:21We have good potential matches for you here.
25:26This is Bruno.
25:27Bruno.
25:29He is so cute.
25:31You have everything you need.
25:43A passport, your ID.
25:45I think I have everything.
25:47Dresses, colorful stuff.
25:48Make sure you have condoms.
25:51Alyssa!
25:53Alyssa!
26:01I can't wait.
26:06Are you guys excited?
26:07I am excited.
26:08Yeah.
26:08I want to meet her.
26:10I leave for Brazil first thing in the morning, and I am freaking out.
26:14I have never taken any type of leap of faith like this before.
26:22Hi!
26:23How are you?
26:26Good.
26:27How are you?
26:28What a beautiful family, my brother.
26:32Nice to meet you guys.
26:33Hi.
26:34Nice to meet you.
26:35I am so excited.
26:37I'm like, I could like jump through my skin.
26:39I'm so excited.
26:41So, what do you guys think is a good match for Mônica?
26:47Somebody tall, somebody dark hair.
26:51I think she needs someone that we can trust with her being alone in this house, you know,
26:57or alone in Brazil, and that he can just, you know, ultimately make her happy.
27:02Yeah.
27:05My mom is spicy, she's confident, but I think ultimately some of that sometimes it might
27:11make her struggle finding someone.
27:13She has to open her heart up.
27:15She has to be vulnerable, and I mean, I want her to be happy.
27:18I feel like I have to be there for her if no one's there for her, and I feel like I would
27:24feel that way off my shoulders if she found somebody.
27:27We have some good potential matches for you here, and I have a surprise.
27:36What?
27:37Are you ready?
27:39I think.
27:40I have a video.
27:41Would you like?
27:44Yes, I want to say, I want to say.
27:47This is Bruno.
27:50Bruno.
27:50Bruno.
27:52Hello.
27:53I am Bruno.
27:54I'm from Brazil, São Paulo.
27:56I've been single for a few years, and when I think about finding love, I think about
28:06a partner who wants to grow together with me, and I like to practice sports, play soccer,
28:15go to the gym.
28:16Oh, good.
28:19I'm ready to love.
28:22That was cute.
28:24Do you like him?
28:26He is so cute.
28:28He is so cute.
28:30Oh, my gosh.
28:32He is a doll.
28:35Bruno is super cute, and he says things like energetic and loving.
28:40That's me.
28:42But as excited as I am, there is a big part of me that is terrified.
28:47Relax.
28:50It's me, okay?
28:52I will trust you.
28:53I do.
28:53And it is time.
28:55I know it's time.
28:59This is the biggest thing I've done for myself.
29:02Absolutely.
29:03100% hands down.
29:04There's no other question.
29:05I want Louisa to know that I can love deeply and that I take love very seriously.
29:11Louisa absolutely knows what I'm looking for, and I trust her.
29:15I'm risking my heart.
29:18I'm risking it all.
29:19And I'm going in this head first.
29:23There's no stopping me.
29:24This is it.
29:25I'll see you in Brazil.
29:29Bye.
29:29Ciao.
29:33Show me your best outfit.
29:35These are my measuring tape suspenders.
29:38Do you actually measure stuff with these?
29:40They measure the quality of the man.
29:41I don't know.
29:43I don't know about these suspenders, Harold.
29:48I feel cute.
29:50Katarina has organized a mixer for today.
29:52I'm envisioning a room full of cute Irish men.
29:55Maybe men with a kilt.
29:57I can't wait to get there.
30:00Oh, this is, this looks interesting.
30:02This is, like, central Singapore.
30:21Look around you.
30:22I mean, that's, what's your impression so far?
30:25I've had eyes only for you.
30:27Hmm?
30:27I've had eyes only for you.
30:29Oh, are you flirting with me right now, Harold?
30:32I love it.
30:33I love it.
30:34Am I going to fall in love with you?
30:36Probably not.
30:39I just landed in Singapore and met Dolly,
30:41and now we're on our way to the hotel.
30:43Really, I'm excited to work with her.
30:45Because from my time in Prague with Katarina,
30:47we never covered how to flirt.
30:48Because I think with Michaela,
30:50it felt like talking to my best friend.
30:53But I know every date won't be as smooth,
30:55and I do think that learning to be more suave and charming
30:58will bode well for my dating life.
31:01Hi.
31:01Hello.
31:02I'm checking in.
31:03Are you staying together?
31:05No.
31:07I'm smooth, but not that smooth.
31:08Okay, sure.
31:09So, Harold, I'm just wondering,
31:11how comfortable are you for me to go with you
31:15to your hotel room and just have a look
31:18at what you've passed to have a sense of,
31:20you know, what you're going to be wearing on your dates?
31:22I'm open.
31:23You can take a look.
31:26The last time I had a lady in my room was two years ago.
31:28It was Michaela, and she came up to my hotel room.
31:30I feel comfortable with Dolly.
31:32I think I can follow her advice,
31:34and I'm hopeful she'll help me find my soulmate.
31:37So let's get down to it.
31:39Show me what you have brought.
31:43Show me your best outfit.
31:44I do have something special.
31:48Hey, show me.
31:49It's my cashmere sweater.
31:52Okay.
31:54I'm not so sure if this will be flattering,
31:56but also that cashmere might not be the best material
32:01for Singapore's weather.
32:04You were already sweating when I saw you at the airport.
32:07Ah.
32:09Good point.
32:11Anything else?
32:12Blue bonnets for you from Texas.
32:14Oh!
32:15You brought it for me?
32:16Yes, they're plastic, so they're...
32:18Oh, thank you.
32:21You're welcome.
32:24Suspenders.
32:25Mm-hmm.
32:26Mm-hmm.
32:28Let's see.
32:29Here we are.
32:33Here are my...
32:34More suspenders?
32:35These are the best.
32:36These are my favorite.
32:38These are my measuring tape suspenders.
32:39Okay.
32:41Do you actually measure stuff with these?
32:43They measure the quality of a man.
32:45Okay, okay.
32:47I don't know.
32:48I don't know about these suspenders, Harold.
32:52So in Singapore, I want you to blend in a little bit.
32:56I feel like you just stand out too much.
32:58Like, this shirt's good.
33:02Yeah.
33:03I think you can look smart in this one.
33:06You know, for your date, put on your best attire.
33:09Without the suspenders.
33:10I really like Dolly so far.
33:15She's queuing me up to succeed, and that's what I need.
33:21Let's call it a night and go get some rest.
33:24I'll show you out.
33:27I don't want to live with my 90-year-old grandmother forever.
33:29I want what everyone has, you know?
33:32Just a chance to meet someone to share my life with.
33:39Have a good night.
33:39Bye-bye.
33:39Goodbye.
33:41So if Dolly says jump, I'll say how high,
33:44because I'm willing to do anything to find love.
33:46Welcome to the Find L'Amour Deep Dating.
33:58I invite particular clients who could click with one another.
34:04Amber, nice to meet you.
34:05Nice to meet you.
34:05All right.
34:06I can't take my eyes off Amber.
34:10The energy between them is flowing freely.
34:12Oh, let me grab my lashes, too.
34:27See, I bought hella pairs of my favorite lashes.
34:33Once the lash comes on, the light comes on.
34:37I can't wait.
34:38I will carry you.
34:40I will carry you.
34:42I will carry you.
34:45Oh!
34:47Every first date, you have your jitters,
34:49and I definitely have first date jitters.
34:53I just landed in Ireland yesterday,
34:56and Katerina has organized a mixer for today,
34:59but Katerina told me not one thing about it,
35:02so my mind is wondering.
35:03I'm envisioning great conversation,
35:07maybe good hors d'oeuvres,
35:08and a room full of cute Irish men.
35:10I can't wait to get there.
35:14I feel cute.
35:18Good night, room.
35:19Love is home, love is home, love is home, love is home.
35:34Avelina.
35:35Avelina.
35:36Avelina.
35:37How did you get ready to listen to this?
35:38Katerina.
35:39I thought it would be a good experience.
35:43Oh, do we need name tags?
35:44Yeah.
35:45Oh, this looks interesting.
35:48Hello.
35:49I'm Ross.
35:50Amber, nice to meet you.
35:51Nice to meet you.
35:52How are the snacks?
35:53I didn't try them yet.
35:54You haven't tried them yet?
35:55I'm not going to.
35:56No, I'm not going to.
35:57No way.
35:58Are you guys on a milk blend?
35:59I want a small blend.
36:00Uh-oh, same.
36:01No, the Irish, we prefer alcohol.
36:02Oh, I'm Texan, ditto.
36:04There you go, there you go.
36:06As I look around the room, I'm seeing guys in tailored suits.
36:11Whereas back home, they're going to probably wear jeans and be a little bit more comfortable.
36:16And here, I feel they're dressing to impress.
36:19I just wish there was a man with a kilt.
36:22Why is that you're eating there?
36:25I know the first piece was salmon, but I don't know what the second piece is.
36:29Hi, everyone.
36:30Hi.
36:31Hi.
36:32Welcome to the Fine Lamour Deep Dating.
36:37Now, you will be going from several meetings, during which you will not really be allowed to talk.
36:44Because that will bring you up to your heads, and I want to get you to your hearts.
36:48So, as the night progresses, I hope that you will be stepping deeper into connection with the others.
36:55So, now I would like to invite ladies to sit down into outside circle, and men sit down wherever they would like.
37:06I host these deep dating events, and I invite particular clients who I know could click with one another.
37:15All right.
37:16All right.
37:17Oh, I'm getting higher.
37:18I'm getting down here.
37:19I don't know what that is.
37:20Seeing how people relate on an energy level gives me a 100% idea of where they are in their dating life, how open their heart is.
37:31So, I'm simply testing Amber's boundaries.
37:34And the mixer will help me understand who she really is, how she can relate to men, and what she needs.
37:42Okay.
37:43Everybody will stand up.
37:45This exercise is called a yin yang dance.
37:48It's about stepping into the role of a supporter, and the one who is being supported.
37:55Women, you let him lead.
37:58And let's go for it, guys.
38:00All right.
38:01You just lead my body.
38:02Well, I'm just leading your arms, right?
38:03We're swimming.
38:04Yes.
38:09I can't dance there at all.
38:11Oh, really?
38:12Who is leading here?
38:13He's not a dancer.
38:14He has two left feet.
38:15I'm not a dancer.
38:16I have two bad feet.
38:17No, no, no, no.
38:18I don't want to hear any explanations.
38:19Forward, and then we're going left.
38:21Oh, you're trying to do the work.
38:24I can't do that.
38:25I see that some of you are already talking.
38:30So, please move one more pillow to the right.
38:33It was lovely.
38:34Nice to meet you.
38:35Yes.
38:36We'll cut the rug again.
38:39Ross, he's very similar to the kind of guys that I would date back home.
38:42Because the men that are attracted to me make me lead.
38:47And after some time goes by, I'm like, well, honey, well, can you make a decision?
38:51Can you do this?
38:53And I find that most of the time, they're like, no, you got it.
38:56So, Ross was a no.
38:58Please make yourselves comfortable.
39:00Hey, Keven, good to meet you.
39:02How are you?
39:03Amber, nice to meet you.
39:04Good to meet you, Amber.
39:05How are you?
39:06Fabulous.
39:07And you said Keven.
39:08Keven, yeah.
39:09It's a bit different.
39:10Oh, my best friend's dad's name is Keever.
39:12Keever.
39:13Amber, would you like to know what the last exercise is?
39:16Absolutely.
39:17Yes.
39:18So, the last exercise is going to be about circling the heart energy.
39:23So, please, everyone, keep your left hand on your own heart.
39:28And place your right hand on the heart of your partner.
39:35It is about feeling the beautiful connection.
39:38Close your eyes.
39:40And you start breathing together.
39:45Open your eyes.
39:56Look at each other.
39:58And see your partner while you are still feeling the flow of energy between the two of you.
40:07And then talk about what you experience.
40:13Oh, look at the top.
40:15Yeah.
40:16That was amazing.
40:17That was really nice.
40:18I love how I can feel your heart and that your hands were pulsating too.
40:22So, it was like I felt all your energy.
40:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:25It felt like really warm and like didn't feel like there's any distance between us.
40:30It didn't even feel like we were strangers.
40:31No, not at all.
40:32No.
40:33No.
40:34I can't take my eyes off Kevin and Amber.
40:38I feel the energy between them is circling.
40:41It is flowing freely.
40:43But while it's good she has her heart open, Irishmen usually take things slow.
40:49And keeping Amber's history in my mind, what I fear is that she will fall in love too quickly.
40:56And this will scare her match away.
41:02Say your name again.
41:04Kevin.
41:05Kevin.
41:06Yeah.
41:07I love it.
41:12You got me flustered.
41:13You got me flustered.
41:15In a good word.
41:17Yeah.
41:18You have beautiful eyes too.
41:26Hey.
41:32Goodbye to her.
41:33Oh!
41:34This season on Match Me Abroad.
41:36So, I live at home.
41:37I live with my parents.
41:38Okay.
41:39He lives with his parents.
41:41It might be a cultural thing in Ireland.
41:44But, oh, no, no.
41:48Okay.
41:49Let's run, run, run, run.
41:50Benjamin Franklin proved that while flying a kite, lightnings consist of electricity.
41:55And I hope there's a spark with Amber.
41:58Proposing is strong on my mind.
42:03Hi, Louisa.
42:04How are you?
42:05Dating in the United States is hard.
42:07On my dating apps, I've used AI-generated pictures.
42:10My expectations for a woman are very high because I hold myself at a very high standard.
42:17Do you always call your clients difficult?
42:20If we have a list of deal breakers, it's gonna be very hard to find someone for you.
42:29You can't put me in a box.
42:31I have pretty much everything that I want.
42:34The only thing that I don't have is true love.
42:37You can meet Nick from Crazy Rich Asians and I'll be so happy.
42:44What's your body count?
42:46It lasts long.
42:47I don't know about you.
42:48How's your stamina?
42:50We talked about, like, future type stuff.
42:54And that's where our divide was.
42:56He said he wanted two to three children.
42:58I don't want any.
42:59I feel that this has not been mentioned before.
43:03Victoria simply doesn't know what she wants.
43:07This is gonna be a hard case.
43:10So, Monica, where do you stand with Bruno and Bernardo?
43:15I can help my clients going through this journey.
43:20But it's up to them to make this decision.
43:24I don't want to say goodbye to either one of them.
43:26Because I love them.
43:28But I know I've got to choose.
43:31I don't want to choose.
43:32I don't want to choose.
