00:00Whoa!
00:02Oh, my God.
00:04Previously on Match Me Abroad.
00:07Who's watching your fur babies right now?
00:09Um, so I live at home.
00:11I live with my parents.
00:13We actually felt a connection
00:15and kind of feel hard for each other.
00:17But I want a man that is financially stable.
00:20Like, I haven't dated a guy that lives at home
00:22in a very long time, Katarina.
00:24Mm-hmm.
00:25Do you feel comfortable seeing other guys?
00:30Let's warm up.
00:32Let's do it.
00:33Okay.
00:36I want to challenge Monica to ask important questions
00:39and not focusing on chemistry.
00:42Do you have any kids?
00:43No, I would like to.
00:46I want to continue to get to know Bernardo.
00:48But I'm just concerned that if he finds out
00:50I don't want more kids, that it may not go anywhere at all.
00:54I don't want any more children.
00:56It's a little bit softer.
00:58The green's a bit milder.
01:00This will spice things right up.
01:02Speaking of spice, let's put some in my eye.
01:05Ah-ha-ha!
01:07Ah-ha-ah!
01:09Ah-ah-ah-ah!
01:11Who is this guy?
01:12Like, what is he doing?
01:14I am, like, in shock.
01:15I'm in shock.
01:17Ugh.
01:35Holy .
01:36There you go.
01:37A cup of water with your hands.
01:38Oh, yeah.
01:39Ugh.
01:41I've never had anyone put Tabasco in their eyes on a date.
01:44Or ever.
01:45OK.
01:46That's a little bit better.
01:47You don't have, like, a little towel or something?
01:48Yeah, yeah.
01:49There's a tea towel here for you.
01:51There you go.
01:52Ugh.
01:54When he put the hot sauce in his eye, I mean, I feel like I'm getting, like, pranked.
02:01I feel like his friends are gonna, like, come out the wall and be like, ha ha, I'm gonna
02:04get you.
02:05Hearing him, like, scream in pain, I was like, OK, this definitely isn't a joke.
02:09And, I mean, I don't, I'm just like, like, in shock.
02:14Um.
02:15Are you OK?
02:16How are you feeling now?
02:17What's going on, Victoria?
02:18Yeah, yeah.
02:19All good, yeah.
02:20Yeah, yeah.
02:21The left eye's still working.
02:22OK.
02:23So, yeah, that wasn't probably the brightest move.
02:25No, I don't think so.
02:26But the oysters were pretty good.
02:27Yeah, the oysters are good.
02:28So should we try a few more and just not put any Tabasco in the eye?
02:32You feel OK doing that?
02:33Yeah, I feel great.
02:34OK.
02:35Right, let's go back.
02:36OK.
02:37We'll just act like nothing ever happened there.
02:39Yeah, exactly, yeah, nothing happened.
02:40No, no, nothing happened.
02:41No.
02:44Oh, my God.
02:45Yeah, OK, yeah, no, I'm fine.
02:47I'm good.
02:48Let's crack another one.
02:49OK.
02:53There we go.
02:54That is so good.
02:55That is really awesome.
02:56Mm-hmm.
02:57Yeah.
02:58My goodness.
03:00I decided to continue with the date because I'm trying to avoid an awkward
03:04confrontation with Dave.
03:05I just don't want to be mean.
03:07I just feel like it'd be easier to be the people pleaser.
03:11Just smile, nod, and I feel like that's what Katarina's for.
03:15I mean, I hired a matchmaker.
03:17Shouldn't she have to do all the dirty work?
03:19Oh, my God.
03:20Woo!
03:24How are you feeling?
03:25So where's your favorite place in the States apart from where you live?
03:29Um, San Diego.
03:31San Diego is very cool.
03:32Yeah.
03:33I actually went over there in a camper van.
03:36We were traveling.
03:37Oh, cool.
03:38I crashed the RV.
03:39Oh.
03:40I impaled it into, like, some jeep behind me so my friends weren't too happy.
03:43Like, what?
03:44Mm-hmm.
03:45Yeah.
03:46It's a happy date.
03:47Yeah.
03:49So why, uh, why did you come all the way to Ireland?
03:52I had dated an Irish guy in New York and I really liked him.
03:54Mm-hmm.
03:55And I liked how, like, his personality, his vibe, his energy, his sense of humor.
03:58Yeah.
03:59And so I just was, like, more curious.
04:01I'm like, okay, I could, you know.
04:02Yeah, yeah.
04:03All right.
04:04Do something.
04:05Sweet.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Yeah.
04:08I'd be open to, like, a serious relationship now.
04:09Mm-hmm.
04:10You know what I mean?
04:11Yeah?
04:12What do you think of the Guinness?
04:17I love it.
04:18Mm.
04:19The happy days.
04:20Oh, yeah.
04:21So, um, good first day out anyway.
04:23I've had fun.
04:24Yeah, I did too.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Mm-hmm.
04:27Definitely different.
04:28Yeah.
04:29So, uh, yeah, we'll have to meet again.
04:30Yeah.
04:31I'm sure we can make something work.
04:32Yeah.
04:33Sounds good.
04:34Yeah.
04:37I really was hopeful that I was gonna have a second day.
04:40I mean, I was trying to be positive,
04:42trying to have a good outlook,
04:43but David was just too much for me.
04:46I think that I need to have, like, another talk with Katarina
04:49and reevaluate what I'm looking for in a guy.
04:55Good day.
04:56Good day.
04:57Good day.
04:58Bye.
05:00Bye.
05:01e
05:03what
05:05you want?
05:09Yeah, I'm afraid I woke up like this.
05:11Don't ask me to stop it.
05:13I'm a princess.
05:14I won't hide it.
05:16I'm Sarah, I'm 36 years old, and I live in Houston, Texas.
05:31So this is my original design.
05:34It is an angel.
05:36And the theme is pretty much always angels in love with all my stuff.
05:40I'm a business owner, and I own my own jewelry and accessory shop online.
05:46I have been crafting since I can remember, putting my little phone grabs, little charms, little stickers.
05:56I love helping women look and feel beautiful through my work.
06:00Self-confidence is really important to me because for me personally, I'm so happy with who I am today, but that hasn't always been the case.
06:07Hey, Princey.
06:08I've worked very hard on myself, physically and internally, and with my business, and I am just finally happy where I am today.
06:18So I'm very excited to go find love in Singapore.
06:21Don't be so fast, time to ask to make the light of shade.
06:32Don't sip the hate away, because the blondes have more fun.
06:37Everybody knows that the blondes have more fun.
06:40You left me behind.
06:42I hope you brought enough luggage.
06:43I flew all the way across the world to Singapore to find love, and I'm bringing my mom with me because she's my best friend.
06:53And if she's not there in person, I'm just going to be on the phone with her the whole time anyway, so I might as well bring her.
06:58This place is insane.
07:00Wow, mom, look at the waterfall.
07:01Oh, gosh.
07:03That's amazing.
07:04Amazing.
07:07It's always an adventure with you, baby girl.
07:09I know, right?
07:10I'm very excited to go find love in Singapore, because Singaporean men have it all going on.
07:20I just love the way that the men treat their women with the utmost respect and are very family-oriented.
07:26But I also love a man that is successful as an entrepreneur, who has strong work ethic, and Singaporean men are a triple threat.
07:36They're brainy and have good personalities.
07:38And, of course, Singaporean men are very hot.
07:41They have a thick head of hair.
07:43They're masculine, and a lot of them are very fit, and I'm into that.
07:48Like, give me Nick Young from Crazy Rich Asians any day, and I'll be so happy.
07:53Ready to do this thing?
07:54Yeah, I'm so excited.
07:56I can put in my two cents, my request for a son-in-law.
08:03It's been challenging for me to find love in the United States.
08:07It's been exhausting, we'll put it that way.
08:11I don't have one relationship.
08:13We were going to get married, but he decided one day he didn't want to have children.
08:18He knew that that was a non-negotiable for me, and I hit a rock bottom, complete rock bottom.
08:25I remember I laid in my bathtub, and I cried, and I was like, maybe I'll just settle for that, because I don't want to lose him.
08:32But I knew that I deserved more, and so we broke off our engagement.
08:37Hi!
08:38I've dated since then, but the problem is I haven't found any guys that are able to, like, truly commit to marriage and having children.
08:51My biological clock is ticking, and so I'm just over the guys that I've been meeting in America.
08:57Look at this.
09:05It's so pretty.
09:06Oh, that's beautiful.
09:06I know.
09:07The buildings here look so futuristic, right?
09:11Yeah.
09:14So how long will you guys be here?
09:16Two weeks.
09:17Nice.
09:18So what are your favorite things about Singapore?
09:21The security.
09:23The what?
09:23The security here is amazing.
09:24The only thing that we have to follow a lot of rules and regulations.
09:29Oh, right.
09:30You can't even have gum here, correct?
09:31Is that true?
09:32Yeah.
09:33No chewing gum?
09:34No chewing gum.
09:35I just can't wait, Mom.
09:37I really hope that I find, like, the love of my life.
09:40I know.
09:40Really, really happy to be here.
09:43I wish Dad was here.
09:45Mm-hmm.
09:45I have a feeling he's watching from somewhere.
09:48Yeah.
09:51My dad passed away two years ago, and he passed away from cancer.
09:56He went into the hospital thinking that he just maybe had the flu, and then within a week
10:01and a half, he died.
10:02If I would have known how long he had, I would have just literally spent every single second
10:08with him.
10:09I would give anything to have, like, a moment with him again.
10:14I would have loved for my dad to have watched me walk down the aisle, and I will never get
10:20to have that.
10:21But I just, I want to make him proud in who I choose.
10:26You got here.
10:27Ah.
10:28This is gorgeous.
10:29Gorgeous.
10:29After my father passed away, I definitely realized, like, how short life truly is.
10:37And I want true love.
10:39I want a family.
10:40But I've been searching years.
10:42And so I'm putting my trust into a matchmaker in hopes that she can find my perfect match.
10:49Hi, Dolly.
10:50Hi, Sarah.
10:51So nice to meet you.
10:52Hi, Sue.
10:54Oh, I'm sorry.
10:55Hi, Kitty.
10:56How are you?
10:57Nice to meet you.
10:58Welcome to Singapore.
11:00We're so happy to be here.
11:01Have a seat.
11:03So how was the flight?
11:05It was good.
11:06It was long.
11:06And long.
11:07Yes, very long.
11:08Yes, but you guys still look amazing.
11:11You're very kind.
11:12And looking at you right now, you look like a celebrity.
11:16Sarah is beautiful.
11:20But at the same time, Sarah as a client is going to be a very tricky one.
11:25Because the men here are just used to a more natural looking girl.
11:29And of course, I know of Asian versions of her.
11:32But they're all sugar babes.
11:34So the kind of men that would typically be attracted to her would just be a man that would go for looks.
11:40So I want to help Sarah discover her true identity.
11:43Beyond all the glitz and glamour, what does her inner voice say?
11:47Is it a positive one or is she insecure about something?
11:53And I believe that there's a part of her in there that can really shine.
11:57So tomorrow, I do want to meet with you in my office so that I can help you achieve success.
12:08Awesome.
12:08Right?
12:09I'm really excited.
12:10I can't wait.
12:13I am so proud of myself for taking this huge leap of faith.
12:17But honestly, I will be extremely disappointed if I don't find true love.
12:23I only want to get married one time.
12:25I only want to do this one time.
12:28Because I have been so heartbroken in the past.
12:31And I'm going to get emotional.
12:34I only have like one more early heartbreak in me potentially.
12:38Like I only like, I'm only going to like get my heart to like probably one more person for the rest of my life.
12:47I would never want to start something with anybody that would stop what they want in life.
12:57I really hope kids aren't a huge issue for him because even in this one date, I can really feel myself falling for him.
13:04This is, uh, this is a thing that I plan in the future that I could do.
13:13What?
13:14What?
13:15Hello?
13:15I thought it was going to be like a lavish estate, but it was like this shed area.
13:22I don't want the first place that we go to be your backyard shed.
13:25So, um, I, you know, I hate to ask such forward questions.
13:39I don't even know if that's part of your Brazilian culture, but I would never want to start something with anybody that would stop what they want in life.
13:48I don't want any more children.
13:55And I just need you to, you know, to know that.
13:57Yeah, so you go into whatever we do with your eyes wide open.
14:03Yes, of course.
14:04Um, you know.
14:06This is, uh, this is a thing that I plan in the future that I could do.
14:12I would like you to be a father, but I don't know.
14:14Yeah.
14:14I guess you never know.
14:16Yeah.
14:16I mean, I just, at this age where I'm at now and in my life, I'm really interested in, like, meeting somebody that we can travel and do fun things.
14:25And I know that when you have a kid, you have a, you have your life changed.
14:31Entirely, and they're so expensive.
14:34I appreciate you talking to me about children in the United States.
14:39I don't think I've shared what I'm looking for with anybody on the first date, because it would feel rushed or someone would get scared.
14:47Like, oh, this girl's crazy.
14:48I, I, I don't know.
14:49I, I, for me, it's, um, no problem.
14:54Um, I don't know about your, what your plans for the weekend for the next week.
15:01Uh, I really would like to, to stay with you more time.
15:07Me too.
15:08And, uh, it was a great night.
15:11Can I walk with you at home?
15:14Yeah, let's go.
15:15Let's go.
15:17Bye-bye.
15:17Thank you very much.
15:18Obrigado.
15:19Ciao.
15:20Let's go.
15:21I really hope Bernardo is being sincere and that kids aren't a huge issue for him, because even in this one date, I can really feel myself falling for him.
15:31He smells good.
15:32He looks good.
15:33He feels good.
15:34I love that warm, mushy feeling I feel inside.
15:39This way.
15:39This way.
15:40But I'm a little bit nervous that he asked me to walk me up to my room.
15:44You know, like, is he expecting to go inside?
15:48Is this what they do in Brazil?
15:49I don't know.
15:50But I'm not ready for that, because I really just want time to get to know him more.
15:54So, my, my, my palms are sweaty.
15:59Well, I had a really nice time.
16:01Yes.
16:02Thank you for everything.
16:03I need.
16:04My phone number?
16:04Yes.
16:05I do know that.
16:05Yeah.
16:06This is important.
16:07This is one thing I do know.
16:08It would have been scary if I didn't.
16:11I'll put it in here.
16:15Oh, stupid.
16:18It's done.
16:19Yeah, okay, good.
16:20It's done.
16:21Yeah.
16:21Now we're connected.
16:23Okay.
16:23Okay.
16:24Good night.
16:25Thank you very much.
16:26You are so late.
16:26It was a wonderful evening.
16:27I'll see you again.
16:28I promise.
16:29Really?
16:30Mm-hmm.
16:30Nice and good.
16:43You're great, too.
16:49So, we talk and let's, uh...
16:52I'll message you, like, right now.
16:53To be honest, I feel giddy.
16:56That kiss took me from worrying about kids and all these heavy questions to just, like...
17:03It's like being a teenager again and, like, falling head over heels pretty quick on a first date.
17:10Am I falling in love or am I living in a moment?
17:13I don't know.
17:13All I know is that right now, my heart is...
17:18My heart is opening up.
17:21Okay.
17:21Okay.
17:22Thank you very much.
17:23All right.
17:23Good night.
17:24Bye-bye.
17:25Bye-bye.
17:25Bye-bye.
17:26Bye-bye.
17:56Bye-bye.
18:10Bye-bye.
18:11Hey, look who's here.
18:13So, girl, how did it go with Dave?
18:25Oh, he was so excited.
18:26He's crazy about you.
18:28He definitely wants to see you again.
18:30Yeah, I believe that.
18:31I believe it.
18:32We had fun.
18:33It was a fun time, for sure.
18:35OK, did you have fun?
18:39Yes, but no.
18:40He was a little too-too out there, like, spontaneous for me.
18:48Well, we did agree that you wanted a bad boy.
18:50You gave me exactly what I asked for, yes.
18:53Uh-huh.
18:55But while we're sitting there eating, he grabs a ball of hot sauce from the table and then
19:01turns it and shakes it and puts it in his eye.
19:04Why did he do that kind of thing?
19:06I don't know.
19:06It sounds like he needs to have all of the attention.
19:10Rather than using the opportunity to really get to know you.
19:15Yeah, he just wanted to see if I can handle that kind of craziness.
19:19Feels quite immature to me.
19:21If this episode with him hadn't happened, would you be interested in dating him further?
19:29No.
19:30We talked about, like, future-type stuff, and that's where our divide was.
19:36My sister's married, three kids.
19:38Married, three kids, really, yeah?
19:40Yeah.
19:40No way.
19:41I'd love to have kids one day, yeah?
19:47He said he wanted two to three children.
19:49I don't want any.
19:50Would you change your mind for the right guy?
19:53No.
19:54Definitely not.
19:55That's a deal breaker.
19:56Mm-hmm.
19:57Yeah, that's definitely a deal breaker.
19:59I feel that this has not been mentioned before.
20:02Yeah, right.
20:03I don't think I, like, went that deep into my firmness on not wanting children.
20:10Only dog children.
20:11Only dog children.
20:12Yes, exactly.
20:13I understand.
20:14Mm-hmm.
20:15Respect.
20:15Yeah.
20:16I don't want kids because of all the things I've been through, just to, like, the addiction
20:22thing with my dad.
20:24That's, like, hereditary.
20:25I've thought about this through and through.
20:28Not going to change my mind.
20:29It's like the right Irish guy for me won't want, like, a big family.
20:32He has to be out there somewhere.
20:35So there were obviously many moments that you did not enjoy during the date.
20:41Did you actually express clearly, directly, how you were feeling?
20:46Or did you play all cool?
20:48I played it cool.
20:49I wouldn't want to say something just to upset him to upset him.
20:52So it's like, eh, it's fine.
20:54Sounds like you're overthinking too much.
20:56Probably.
20:57About what to do to make another person feel well.
21:01And forgetting about what you need.
21:03Mm-hmm.
21:04And this is what we were talking in the very beginning.
21:06It's about your desires.
21:09So, Victoria, for your next date, you're going to show your emotions.
21:12Okay.
21:13Because you are shielded, you are armored right now, and I need you to show what is happening
21:18down there.
21:19Okay.
21:21And I'm going to go with you to make sure you're going to show yourself in your full power
21:25to this guy.
21:26Okay.
21:26Okay.
21:27It could be a little nerve-wracking having Katerina on my date, because I 100% feel like
21:33Katerina will call me out, like, on the spot as she sees it.
21:36She's, like, so blunt, and, like, that's, like, my worst nightmare.
21:41I hate confrontation, because it's just so awkward and uncomfortable.
21:46So I'm super nervous.
21:47I don't want you to skip on this opportunity.
21:51Deal.
22:01See, all these are, like, charming.
22:03Charming little, like, almost cottages.
22:06There are still leprechauns this side of the world.
22:09They chase the sheep at nighttime.
22:10Nuh-uh, that's a real thing, or that's, like, an urban legend?
22:15No, they're real.
22:17Yeah.
22:27So are leprechauns mean?
22:29Aw, they're supposed to be nice.
22:31Yeah.
22:33Today, I have a date with Paul out in the Irish countryside.
22:37I'm interested in Katerina, but I love the fact that Katerina is challenging me to date other guys
22:45and to get out of my comfort zone of rushing into a situation and giving myself options.
22:50So I'm up for it.
22:53Oh, cows.
22:55Ooh.
22:58A typical Irish man lives with his parents until marriage, but Amber wants someone more independent.
23:06So the next guy I have for Amber is 43-year-old Paul.
23:11He lives in the countryside in a beautiful house that he built by himself.
23:16He's fully sustainable, and he wants his partner to embrace his lifestyle.
23:21But he's very sensitive, very perceptive, and that's also what Amber needs.
23:28There you go.
23:31Wow.
23:31Oh, what?
23:35What?
23:36Hello?
23:40I thought it was going to be, like, a lavish estate, but it's, like, this shed area.
23:48Hello?
23:49I don't want the first place that we go to be your backyard shed.
23:52So it is...
23:54It makes me kind of nervous.
23:55Hey, how are you?
24:00I'm wonderful.
24:00I'm Amber.
24:01Amber, nice to meet you.
24:02I'm Paul.
24:03I'm just playing around.
24:04I was about to say, what are you doing?
24:05I'm always making something.
24:06What are you creating?
24:07So I was carving a spoon.
24:10A spoon?
24:10Yeah.
24:12Wait a minute.
24:13Is this what you normally do?
24:14Is this what you do for a living?
24:14No, this is a hobby.
24:16Go and hop on.
24:18Oh, I sit there.
24:18I straddle it?
24:19Yeah.
24:19Okay.
24:24So everyone tells you not to pull a knife or a blade towards yourself?
24:28Yes.
24:28But I'm going to tell you to do that.
24:30No way.
24:30Yeah.
24:34My first impression of Paul, he actually is very handsome, but total opposite of Keevan.
24:40I met Keevan with a suit jacket and a, you know, dress to the nines.
24:44Paul has on a shirt that says, hi, my name is Paul, in Crocs.
24:47I can't even believe I'm going on a date with a dude with Crocs.
24:49But he's, he's very handsome.
24:52He needs to throw the Crocs away.
24:54So tell me more about yourself, Paul.
24:56So you're from here.
24:58I'm from very close.
24:59Single.
25:00Yeah, I am single.
25:01Okay.
25:02I guess you are too, if you're, if you're coming this far.
25:04Yeah.
25:05Right, and in a shed with a man with knives and wood tools.
25:08That is crazy.
25:09Yes.
25:10The whole axe murderer thing is, yeah.
25:15Hopefully, my location is on my phone so that I will be easily found.
25:19Because this is a horror movie.
25:21Like, chains, axes.
25:24But at the same time, I'm intrigued.
25:27I love a man that can teach me different things and show me different angles of life.
25:33My mind is open.
25:36So do you ever get scared out here all by yourself?
25:41No.
25:42I live off the grid.
25:44So what is this?
25:45So this is an outdoor bathtub.
25:47You can use it as a, as a hot tub.
25:50Get out of here.
25:51So it's filled with rainwater from a, from a roof.
25:53And you put the wood down there instead of fire?
25:55Yeah, you can, you can light a fire because it's a cast iron tub.
25:58Okay.
25:58And you literally come out here and, and, and have a bath by yourself.
26:01Under, under the stars.
26:05Never dated American women.
26:06But first thoughts of Amber would be not my typical, what I would think I would like.
26:14My hands are, are a little chilly.
26:16Are they?
26:16Yes.
26:17Well, we can go inside if you want.
26:19But she's beautiful.
26:20She's, um, she's fun.
26:22She's a nice bubbly personality.
26:24I'm just curious to see the experience and, uh, take the opportunity as it comes.
26:29Do you want a cup of tea?
26:33Yeah, that sounds awesome.
26:36I'd probably have a herbal.
26:39If you want.
26:40There's mint there in the garden.
26:41Okay.
26:42I need a good herbal tea in my life right now.
26:45So most of my food is in the, it's either in the garden.
26:48Yeah, and you just go out there and get it immediately.
26:50Or it's, it's dried good so it doesn't go off.
26:53How long does it take normally for your food to go bad?
26:56Well, I don't even have a fridge, so I don't let it go bad.
26:59Oh, my God, you really don't.
27:03No, we don't have a fridge.
27:07I don't have a tea.
27:10Hmm.
27:12What a pleasure.
27:13Thank you so much for making me a tea.
27:15Rice.
27:16Okay, you don't have a refrigerator.
27:19No, no fridge.
27:20What else is, um, something that I would normally have at home that you don't have?
27:24Don't have a dishwasher.
27:26Don't have, yeah, I have a, I have a cup of tea.
27:29Compost toilet.
27:32What's a compost toilet?
27:34Okay, I'll show you.
27:37Get that out of the way.
27:40So.
27:40Your vacuum is cute.
27:41Yeah, well, this is my compost toilet.
27:43Get out of here.
27:43So it's basically, you make your deposit.
27:45Mm-hmm.
27:46And then you cover it with soda and then move it into the garden.
27:50Okay.
27:51And it shouldn't smell.
27:51It should be a nice, it should be a nice, um, piney smell.
27:55Oh, yeah, it does smell good.
27:57Okay, that's not what I was expecting at all.
27:59Did you make the toilet, too?
28:03Yeah, I made the toilet.
28:04I love that you make everything.
28:07And this tea is phenomenal.
28:10From the garden.
28:11Oh, I take a sip of the tea, and it is delicious.
28:21So good.
28:23And then immediately, I think, Paul's duty fertilized this.
28:27And I am disgusted.
28:29He had other teas there.
28:31Why would you give me the pool tea?
28:34I hate to cut my visits short, but it's starting to get dark.
28:37We've got to go down East Country Road.
28:38It was lovely to have you here.
28:40It was lovely to be here.
28:42You've shown me so much.
28:43And you know where I am now.
28:44You can come back anytime.
28:47I think it's time to wrap this date up.
28:48He even looks like a prince charming now.
28:51Like, I can't wait for our next date.
28:52Thank you again.
28:53I had a fabulous time.
28:55Okay, lovely to see you.
28:56Paul is a nice guy.
28:58He's just not my cup of tea.
28:59Literally.
28:59Bye.
29:01Okay, bye-bye.
29:04As we were saying goodbye, he kissed me.
29:09When I'm working with people, I want them not focusing on chemistry.
29:14My cup!
29:29Hi, Monica!
29:31Hi, good to see you.
29:33How are you?
29:34I'm really good.
29:35Really good.
29:37No, no, I'm on and I was on.
29:40No, no, I'm on and I was on.
29:44No, no, I'm on and I was on.
29:47Oh, we're kind of matching today.
29:49Oh, my God.
29:50I know.
29:50I love your dress.
29:51I got the memo.
29:52Yes.
29:53So tell me everything.
29:55Oh, my gosh.
29:56How did it go with Bernardo?
29:58It was honestly the best date I've ever had.
30:01Yes!
30:02Really?
30:02Yes!
30:03Wow.
30:03Yes.
30:04How come?
30:04Tell me everything.
30:05Oh, my gosh.
30:06Details.
30:06So, from the moment I laid eyes on him, he's got a very good demeanor about himself.
30:13You could tell just by the way he turned and greeted me.
30:16This person is so grounded.
30:18I could feel it.
30:19So we meet, then we played.
30:22We had so much fun, and after that, he didn't really have plans, and I didn't really have plans.
30:27So we're like, well, let's continue this because we really liked each other.
30:31And what we did, we talked, and I started to ask the deeper questions that you wanted me to ask.
30:36Oh, it's so good, so good.
30:38And he was not uncomfortable.
30:40He, like, he even dove deeper and wanted to know more.
30:44This is so good.
30:45As we were saying goodbye, he kissed me, and I kissed him back.
30:51Like, really?
30:52Like a passionate.
30:55Oh.
30:56Yes!
30:57I came in this door, I shut it, right?
31:00And I was like, ah!
31:03By myself!
31:05Like, ah!
31:06You know, what was I supposed to do?
31:09I wanted to kiss him, too.
31:11Do you men try kissing on the first day?
31:14Oh, they do?
31:14Yeah.
31:15Oh, my gosh.
31:16I didn't not want it.
31:18Like, I wanted to kiss him.
31:19I leaned in myself.
31:20I want to kiss him again.
31:21I have this philosophy when I'm working with people to wait a little bit to have their first
31:30kiss, like I told Monica, because I want them to go through the important questions.
31:37First, to learn information about their values, to choose a better partner for them, and not
31:44focusing on chemistry.
31:46So now I have to figure out if Bernardo is really the best match for Monica, or there are
31:54just chemistry between them.
31:57So, you want a second date also?
32:01I do.
32:01But how about Bruno in this situation?
32:05When I think about finding love, I think about a partner who wants to grow together with
32:14me, and I'm ready to love.
32:17That was cute.
32:19It's funny you ask me that Bruno became less important when I met Bernardo.
32:25Yeah.
32:26Because I have not met him yet, and I really enjoyed Bernardo.
32:30So, in a way, Bernardo really took first place, I think, over Bruno.
32:37Because now you have more information about Bernardo than you have from Bruno.
32:41You should go slow.
32:43I know.
32:43I want you to try a little bit more, dating resident guys, and see how things go with
32:52Bruno.
32:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:54I've never had this situation in my life, where, like, I have one that I like, and then
32:58another one that I might like, and then, you know, having to find those differences that
33:03are going to be probably the longer-lasting thing.
33:06Be open to this.
33:07Please, I know you were attached to Bernardo, but it's a good thing also, because then you
33:13will be, you're going to be more rational.
33:16And don't kiss.
33:17Please, don't kiss.
33:18I'm going to try real hard.
33:19I'm not going to kiss.
33:22Please, please.
33:23You, you, you're going to be good.
33:24These Brazilian men.
33:25Woo!
33:27As much as I feel that I've found a guy that I kind of really like, I know Luisa's right.
33:32I came here thinking about Bruno, excited to see Bruno, so what if, just what if, what
33:40if he's just as great, right?
33:42Like, I, there's so many what ifs that would never be answered if I cheat myself out of
33:46this and not see him.
33:48So, I need to give it a fair shot, because I am not here just to hook up, I am not here
33:53just to mess around and, and play with these guys.
33:57I'm actually here to find love.
33:58I want to hear everything from this date.
34:01Okay, so you tell me everything, okay?
34:03I will tell you everything.
34:07If you don't tone down your look, a Singaporean man might judge the book by its cover.
34:12Are you ready to unglam for the dates?
34:17No.
34:28Sarah is very glamorous.
34:31I think she needs a guy who is not going to look, like, super high-end and not so absorbed
34:40with himself.
34:40Okay.
34:41Um, and I think the first date should be someone that is totally not, on paper, her type.
34:48Hi, Dolly.
34:57Hey.
34:58So good to see you.
34:59Hi, Dolly.
34:59So good to see you.
35:01Welcome to my office.
35:03Welcome to my office.
35:04Hi.
35:05Hi, Kitty.
35:06I arrived in Singapore a few days ago, and today I'm going on my first date.
35:10Yay!
35:11Hi, Kitty.
35:12I'm so ready to find my husband.
35:14Like, where you at, baby?
35:16I'm waiting.
35:17I've been waiting for years.
35:20Wow.
35:21Do you ever leave her side?
35:23I do.
35:24I do.
35:25Um, you know, she's actually, like, extremely independent.
35:29Maybe you're not getting that vibe since I'm here.
35:31I'm not seeing that.
35:32I'm very independent.
35:34She has always been very, very independent.
35:36But she's also my best friend.
35:37But at some point, I do want some alone time with you just so that I can really get to
35:42know Sarah.
35:43Yeah.
35:44With Kitty, I know she's flown a long way to do this with her daughter.
35:50But I was a little surprised when Sarah came to the office and she brought her mom along.
35:57So I am worried if Kitty is going to be a helicopter parent.
36:03What do you feel was your mistakes that you've made along the way in your dating journey?
36:12Every single thing that I watched growing up was these fairy tale princess movies and
36:16these extravagant love stories.
36:19And I think it makes it really hard because we have an unrealistic expectation of what love
36:26should look like and what relationships should look like.
36:28What's perfect for you then?
36:30Um, well, so I do want someone who does want to have children with me and start a family
36:36in the near future.
36:37And that's a non-negotiable for me.
36:40And someone that I just genuinely have so much fun with that feels like my best friend.
36:44Yes.
36:45I'm just dying to know who's my first match.
36:48Can you give me any more information?
36:50He's Freddie.
36:51He is 37.
36:52Okay.
36:53So he is also ready to have a family.
36:56Okay.
36:57Okay.
36:58And he is an artist in Singapore.
37:00Cool.
37:01And he has planned a very exciting date for you.
37:05He's going to take you on this exploration of different sides of Singapore.
37:09Okay.
37:10That sounds amazing.
37:11Yeah.
37:12I can't wait.
37:13Thank you, Zali.
37:14Okay.
37:15So let's just get into what you need to have a successful matches and to see if you're
37:19able to fit culturally.
37:21Right?
37:22So I know you share a lot with me on what your values are.
37:26And from that, I've found these matches for you because values is everlasting.
37:32Looks will fade.
37:33Right.
37:34Of course.
37:35And I just wonder, are you ready to kind of unglam for the dates?
37:40Are you comfortable with that?
37:43No.
37:44Okay.
37:45Well, if we do something outdoorsy, will you be wearing makeup to, say, a sporty activity?
37:54Oh, yeah.
37:55I always pretty much do my makeup the same.
37:57Unless it's nighttime, then I do a full glam.
38:00Okay.
38:01Um, so also my concern is that if you don't tone down your look, a Singaporean man might
38:09judge the book by its cover because the men here are just not used to it.
38:13Mm-hmm.
38:14Right?
38:15Be real.
38:16Right?
38:17It's not all, you don't have to paint a perfect picture.
38:18Mm-hmm.
38:19Right.
38:20Which is so true.
38:21I've always been concerned that Sarah could possibly attract the wrong kind of men.
38:25You really have to have an open heart, right?
38:28Yes.
38:29You have to be vulnerable to enter into a real relationship.
38:34Yes.
38:35I have always told Sarah that toning down maybe the makeup and the attire a little bit
38:42is going to help her find someone that will love her for everything that she is.
38:47But I think having an expert come in and give her some advice and opinion really will help
38:54Sarah move in a maybe slightly different new direction and hopefully just, you know,
38:59give her a new perspective.
39:02Um, I'm still going to stay true to myself.
39:05That's important to me.
39:06And I think that, um, yeah, whoever ends up with me, they need to know the real me.
39:11So, therefore, on a date, I want to look at my last.
39:14Okay.
39:16I have spent many years working on my outward appearance and I love the way that I look.
39:22So, Dolly wanting me to tone down my look, honestly, girl.
39:27So, if I actually thought that would help to turn my love life around, I think I would
39:32have done it by now.
39:34So, I don't normally work with the parent of my client.
39:37Right.
39:38But you're an extra pair of eyes and ears, you know.
39:43So, let's work together on this in this journey of finding a match completely far away
39:49from what she's used to.
39:51Next time on Match Me Abroad.
39:57Hi, Amber.
39:58Hello.
39:59Hi, Amber.
40:00Happy to see you again.
40:01This is Carol.
40:02Hi.
40:03Carol is not what I expected.
40:05Much chubbier, shorter.
40:08I am not so sexually attracted to him.
40:11What do you normally do for Lazio?
40:14I guess I'm here on vacation to meet you.
40:17Right.
40:22Okay.
40:23Woo.
40:24My expectations for a woman are very high because I hold myself at a very high standard.
40:28So, I really think going Brazil is my best viable option.
40:33I will be arriving in South Hollow.
40:36Do you think you were a picky man?
40:39Absolutely.
40:40No short hair.
40:41The longer the hair, the more effort she puts into her daily routine.
40:48Do you know where this is?
40:49What this is?
40:50Where?
40:51This is the red light district.
40:52Oh, really?
40:53Yeah.
40:54I understand that Dolly is trying to maybe get me out of my comfort zone.
40:58So, I'm feeling a little bit anxious.
41:01What kind of place have I brought you?
41:06How are you?
41:07Great. Yourself?
41:08I'm wonderful.
41:09For my second date with Keevan, I'm super focused on learning more about his goals.
41:14And if he doesn't have a future or see himself doing anything in the future, then I don't know if we have one.
41:19Well, I have a weird question.
41:21Well, you're 45 years old.
41:23Yeah.
41:24How do you see yourself?
41:25I haven't thought about it, to be honest.
