00:01Previously on Match Me Abroad.
00:06Glenn is just fun and just carefree.
00:09And right now, I feel torn because I feel like tonight
00:14really gave Keevan a run for his money.
00:19Oh, my word.
00:21You're very cute.
00:23I know I am.
00:26Oh, my god.
00:29It's a big mistake.
00:30I'm a little worried that it might scare her off
00:31and hurt my chances with her.
00:35You said you have multiple girlfriends at the same time.
00:37Like, isn't that, like, a lot of work?
00:39Physically, it's almost impossible,
00:41unless you're in the adult entertainment industry,
00:45which I actually explored.
00:47Really?
00:48Do you honestly think that I would want
00:52the father of my children and my husband to be in porn?
00:59Sorry to hear of an old loss.
01:00Oh, it's fine.
01:01Like, I know.
01:02I feel like it's made me who I am.
01:04Telling Darren about, like, all this stuff,
01:06it doesn't feel like he's judging me like most people do.
01:10I just hope that Darren's feeling the same way about me,
01:12especially because he's about to, like,
01:15get the tattoo of me, like, permanently on his body.
01:19Do you regret it now that it's done?
01:28The date itself with Bruno was fantastic.
01:32Guess who comes back in my mind?
01:34Bernardo.
01:35Bernardo.
01:36The fact is, Bruno has more of what I want than Bernardo.
01:39But, like, I'm still really entranced by Bernardo.
01:42I don't like hurting people.
01:43I would rather be hurt.
01:44And you stay sad, and you stay alone, by yourself,
01:48single, forever.
01:51This is not good.
02:03This looks good.
02:05OK, which side do you want to sit?
02:07I'll sit this side.
02:09All right.
02:18Cheers.
02:19Oh, yes.
02:20To a beautiful date.
02:21Yeah.
02:23Mm.
02:24Mm, pineapple.
02:26I've never dated a woman as complex as Amber.
02:28And it's throwing me for loops.
02:31In the back of my mind, I keep thinking about how she has told
02:34Dolly she has concerns about autism and spectrum.
02:36But she wasn't up front with me, and I don't understand why.
02:40Singaporean women in general are very conservative.
02:42So I can see how maybe she has walls put up.
02:45She is protecting herself.
02:47Regardless, I need to move forward, but left foot or right foot.
02:53Mm.
02:54How's the food?
02:54Oh, that's good.
02:55I don't know what that is.
02:56It's good, though.
02:57These two are...
02:59Little bit spicy.
02:59...fumus?
03:00It's chickpea.
03:01Chickpea.
03:02Yeah, it tastes like cheese.
03:03I love cheese.
03:05I used to have really bad diarrhea when I have milk.
03:10I thought it would be funny if it was gas.
03:13Gas is funny because girls don't fart.
03:14No?
03:16Which part of biology tells you girls don't fart?
03:19Oh, the polite part.
03:21That's very nice of you.
03:23Yes.
03:23Okay.
03:24All right.
03:24I actually have questions I want to ask you.
03:27Okay.
03:29What is the wildest thing at the end?
03:31I don't know how much I can say.
03:34Just go ahead.
03:34I have a high tolerance.
03:36Sorry.
03:37Ah.
03:40I took a day off college and I met my girlfriend in another town
03:44because we were far apart.
03:45Okay.
03:46We had a playing in a car in a field in broad daylight.
03:51Wow.
03:52Okay.
03:53It sounds like something I might want to try.
03:57Hmm.
03:58In Asian culture, we don't really talk about sex stuff.
04:03Yes.
04:04At all.
04:05Oh.
04:06But for me, I think a little differently because I feel sex is a very important part of our relationship.
04:11Yeah.
04:12So for a lot of questions to that, besides the car run, what's the most exotic place you've had sex?
04:22Uh, movie theater.
04:26Oh.
04:27All right.
04:30I think mine's in a public toilet.
04:33Interesting.
04:34You're gonna make me blush.
04:37I am very relieved with how openly Amber's discussing sex.
04:42It makes me feel that she's into me.
04:44It makes me feel that, oh, we might have sex.
04:48Oh, I shouldn't have said that.
04:50I mean, I haven't had sex in a port-a-potty before.
04:53It sounds messy, but now I hope that opportunity arises sometime.
04:57I have a question.
04:59Hmm?
05:00With sex, do you instigate, or the man instigate, or is it always together?
05:04It depends.
05:06Who has the urge?
05:08In Singapore.
05:10A lot of people view sex as a way for things like, I want to have kids, then we have sex.
05:16Not that many people actually enjoy the process of it.
05:19Oh, okay.
05:20So...
05:21That's good.
05:24In Asian culture, we have sex only after marriage.
05:29But for me, maybe five, six things.
05:32Because sometimes things just progress, and things happen.
05:36Like the kiss on the lips.
05:38It was a bit sneaky, but pleasantly surprised, I would say.
05:41I think I am definitely more attracted to Harold, but I am still concerned about something.
05:47So, we will see how it goes.
05:52So, I think we have had a good date, but I am not worried about autism.
06:00It is regarding, relating to offsprings.
06:03Oh.
06:04Yeah.
06:05I understand there is a high chance that our kids...
06:09It could be faster.
06:10Yeah, it could pass down.
06:12Um, with offspring, if it is an issue, we will be able to recognise it, because I am
06:17because I have experienced it myself.
06:18That's true.
06:19And we will catch it early, and it is not a problem.
06:22If we see them having trouble reading, we will get special tutors, or I will teach them.
06:26And I think if we have more children, it will be less chance.
06:29Diluted, huh?
06:30Yes, diluted.
06:31Diluted.
06:32We might have one out of six.
06:33They are thinking of six?
06:34Yes.
06:35Okay.
06:36Wow.
06:37I am glad Amber asked these questions, because it shows me that she is taking our relationship
06:41seriously, and we are moving forward.
06:43I am ready.
06:44Are you ready?
06:45Yeah, let's go.
06:46And I also feel more hopeful now, having learned that she is not as conservative as
06:51most Singaporean women.
06:52I see it as maybe she will be more willing to fast track, so that I can go forth and meet
06:58her family, to pass her mini-test.
07:00And she will be confident and assured that I am everything that she wants, that she is
07:05everything that I want, and we can immediately have a family.
07:09Honestly, I wanted an excuse to hold your hand.
07:12You were sitting across from me too far.
07:14I could tell.
07:15I saw you walking to the room.
07:16There's nothing I can say.
07:17You picked me up.
07:18I'm running back to us.
07:19I'm here to stay.
07:20When you know I'll go where.
07:21Yum.
07:22I love a good luncheon.
07:23I'm holding back.
07:24I want you now.
07:25I wonder if you noticed.
07:26I'm holding back.
07:27I'm holding back.
07:28I'm holding back.
07:29I want you now.
07:30I wonder if you noticed.
07:31Coming.
07:32Coming.
07:39Hey, darling.
07:41Hi.
07:42Sorry, I'm in the process of putting my shoes on.
07:51Everything's on point.
07:52You are ready.
07:53Yeah.
07:54I will be, once I put my other shoe on.
07:58Yeah, I will be once I put my other shoe on.
08:02My date with Sean a couple days ago was horrific.
08:05And I'm really wondering if Dolly, if we're on the same page.
08:11Sean asked me how many men I slept with.
08:13He asked me, like, my body count.
08:15He said that?
08:16Yeah.
08:17He should not be talking about a lot of these things
08:18on a first date.
08:19When I heard him, he did express
08:22that he is wanting to find love.
08:25There's compatibility there in terms of values.
08:28So I'm going to talk to him.
08:29I'm going to tell Sean that he has to be better.
08:33Hopefully, you can help him.
08:36Of course, I'm still annoyed.
08:37But Dolly, I don't have time to waste.
08:40So I am going on my third date in Singapore.
08:42And I'm really hoping the third time's a charm.
08:44But I'm skeptical because she told me we are going to the gym.
08:50And sweating on a first date is just not very cute.
08:54DJ!
08:55So this is Sarah.
08:56Hi.
08:57I'm Sarah.
08:58Pleasure.
08:58Great.
09:00We'll be going to my gym.
09:01OK.
09:02And we'll be having a little bit of a workout.
09:03OK.
09:04Cool that?
09:04Yeah.
09:04Let's do it.
09:06EJ is Singaporean, but he's a mix of Portuguese,
09:10Malaysian, and Indian, and has a lot to offer Sarah.
09:15Have a great workout.
09:16OK.
09:16And I'll check in with you guys after your date.
09:18OK.
09:19Great.
09:19All right.
09:20Have fun.
09:21Let's go.
09:21Bye.
09:23Sarah wants a man who is masculine and who is the provider of the family.
09:28And EJ is a successful business owner of several gyms, and he's also a bodybuilder.
09:34He's also willing to spoil a girl, but not too much.
09:39You know, so he's just like the perfect balance for Sarah.
09:42And I'm really excited to see if Sarah is willing to open her heart and pursue things with EJ.
09:50So here you are.
09:56Welcome to after this fitness.
09:58All right.
10:00Wow.
10:01It's cool.
10:02So this is my gym.
10:04And this is where we will be training today.
10:10OK.
10:10That's the cage.
10:11All right.
10:12Let me go and get changed first.
10:13OK.
10:13And then we can kind of stop.
10:15Sounds good.
10:17EJ is definitely handsome and masculine.
10:20I'm a sucker for big muscles and platoos.
10:22So yeah, he's cute.
10:26He's an entrepreneur.
10:28He's easy to talk to.
10:29So we'll give it one more shot.
10:33I've never done anything like this.
10:34So you're going to have to tell me what.
10:36Don't worry.
10:37It's going to be fun.
10:38So I'm going to be doing it with you.
10:40So just have fun.
10:41OK.
10:41Don't hit me, OK?
10:42Don't hit you?
10:43Don't hit me.
10:43I want to hit you.
10:45OK.
10:46All right, shall we?
10:46I'll go easy on you.
10:47OK.
10:49My first impression of Sharon, I was like, OK, wow.
10:53The way she looks, she is, sorry to say, like, bimbo-ish.
10:58Maybe I just have to get to know her a little bit more.
11:00OK, show the situation to the front.
11:03I wanted to do mohitai together with Sharon today.
11:05And I want to show her my gym because this is a reflection of who I am
11:09and what I do for a living.
11:11And this is very important for my partner to understand.
11:14You know, because your partner is the better half of you.
11:17And they need to understand what she does in order to support you
11:20so that you can be better at what you do.
11:23And here's my coach, Danny.
11:24Hi.
11:25I'm Sarah.
11:26Yeah, I'm Danny.
11:27Nice to meet you.
11:28We'll go through some of the basic punches.
11:30OK, facing me, trap, cross, left hook with a right front knee.
11:35Ready, go.
11:37Cross, left hook, right knee.
11:39OK, nice.
11:40OK, so the next one, what we're going to do will be a form of reaction training.
11:44Using your palm to tap each other's shoulders.
11:47If you've managed to touch me, that means he has succeeded in scoring the point.
11:53All right.
11:54OK, so maybe me and he, we can do one round to show her.
11:57Yeah.
11:58OK, so from here, go.
12:00All right.
12:03All right.
12:04OK, so that is the idea of the reaction drill.
12:06OK, you're going to, like, let me get you, right?
12:09OK, ready?
12:10Three, two, one, go.
12:12I'm scared.
12:14Dolly is constantly telling me how I need to get out of my comfort zone.
12:18But I'm a total girly girl.
12:21And this is not my vibe.
12:23Like, I like to chill and drink wine and talk.
12:26That's more of my vibe.
12:29I don't like that.
12:33I'm just also kind of like a perfectionist.
12:35And I don't want EJ's first impression of me to be watching me flail around and look like an idiot.
12:42My hair is, like, dipping, boobs bouncing.
12:49Like, God, it's so embarrassing.
12:52Hopefully this date gets better.
12:54If not, then I really need to consider finding a different matchmaker.
12:58All right.
13:01We're not done?
13:07So fill me in.
13:08What's been going on with you and Darren?
13:10We got matching tattoos.
13:12Are those titties?
13:13Yes, they are.
13:14He got the same as a king?
13:16Yeah, so he's got titties on his cast?
13:19Mm-hmm.
13:20Hi.
13:29How are you?
13:30I'm fabulous.
13:31How are you?
13:32Good, thank you.
13:33Can I do two pints again?
13:34Two pints.
13:35Yes.
13:36Perfect.
13:42Excuse me.
13:44I broke the rules.
13:51I know I'm supposed to let it sit, but I didn't want to leave you out here waiting.
13:54Oh, no, you're fine.
13:55Let me get you a coaster, though.
13:56Oh, thanks.
13:57Cheers.
13:59Or as Keevan tells me to say, Sláinte.
14:03I'm so happy that my two American clients, Amber and Victoria, became friends.
14:10So is this your first time in Dublin or Ireland?
14:13Yep.
14:14It is.
14:15It is.
14:16Oh, you too.
14:17Awesome.
14:18Okay, so two newbies.
14:19Yeah, exactly.
14:20Okay, so that took away a lot of nerves.
14:21Oh, yeah.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Okay, now I'm excited to have another newbie.
14:25Yes, yeah.
14:26At least we're in it together.
14:27At least we have each other.
14:28I think it's very important for Amber and Victoria to support one another and feel that
14:33they are not alone in their exciting adventure in Ireland.
14:36So fill me in.
14:37What's been going on with you and Darren?
14:39We got matching tattoos.
14:41No way.
14:42I gotta see this.
14:44Are those titties?
14:46Yes, they are.
14:47Yeah, so you still have to keep the thing on still, but like...
14:51Stop!
14:52You're so funny.
14:53So it's like me and then like his style.
14:56The after girl looks like me every morning.
14:58I know.
14:59You all right?
15:00I love it.
15:02I love it.
15:03He got the same exact thing.
15:05He's got titties on his calf.
15:07Mm-hmm.
15:10Darren and I have been texting every day and it's been really flirty and everything.
15:15And the more I get to know Darren, the more I like him.
15:17I don't even remember the last time I had this feeling.
15:20And so I invited Darren to meet up with Amber and I.
15:24I really want her opinion, see what she thinks of Darren and like see what her view is.
15:29You look so happy.
15:31You're like...
15:32Yeah.
15:33I'm loving it.
15:34I'm loving it.
15:35Oh!
15:36I want to get a little ink now.
15:37Maybe you and Keevan.
15:38That'd be cute, but I don't know because...
15:40Would you get a matching tattoo with him?
15:42I would be scared to get a matching one with him.
15:44I'm starting to get confused.
15:45Why?
15:46I haven't really been speaking to him that much.
15:49I think it's because I went on another date with someone else.
15:52That Mr. Ireland?
15:53I went on a date with Mr. Ireland.
15:55He was such a dreamboat.
15:57And it sucks because everything that I was like questioning about Keevan are the things that he already has.
16:03It's easy for Glenn to be in the running right now because the communications with Keevan are slacking since he came to my hotel.
16:11Would you like to come in?
16:12Yeah.
16:13Thank you, Paul.
16:14Yeah.
16:15You're like my little heating blanket.
16:16Yeah.
16:17Oh, my word.
16:18It is so cold.
16:21I'm very big on communication.
16:23He knows that I'm only going to be here for so long.
16:26And without clear communication, it's going to be hard for me to keep that spark once I get back home to Texas.
16:30And that really, really concerns me.
16:33I'm really annoyed and aggravated and disappointed than Keevan.
16:36But now I'm even more confused because Keevan called me and asked me to go on an overnight trip.
16:42And I just don't even know where this came from.
16:44What's been going on these past three days that I haven't seen you?
16:47I want to know that someone is really, really interested in me.
16:49Yeah.
16:50I don't want to question it.
16:53Not me getting teary.
16:54I'm such a baby.
16:57But I'm like...
16:58If you cry, I'll cry.
16:59I'm sorry.
17:00Let me hold it back.
17:01My nose is going to get red though.
17:02Oh, I don't even have a tissue with me.
17:04With Keevan?
17:05I just want him to communicate better.
17:06Yeah.
17:07Yeah.
17:08Do you think that maybe you should say that to him?
17:09Do you think it would make a difference?
17:10I think so.
17:11Good.
17:12Because you don't want a guy that's going to get offended by...
17:14Yeah.
17:15But if he does get offended, then I know that he's not the one.
17:18Exactly.
17:19Hello.
17:20Hi.
17:21Oh, we're all on Guinness.
17:22How are you?
17:23Of course.
17:24Good.
17:25How are you?
17:26How are you?
17:27I'm good.
17:28I'm Irish.
17:29Did you want a Guinness?
17:30But I'm going to do another Guinness.
17:31Is that a tattoo name?
17:32Yeah.
17:33It is.
17:34Okay, I'm good.
17:37Oh, he looks nice.
17:38Oh, yeah.
17:39He's super nice.
17:40Katerina told me the guys in Ireland move at a way slower pace than the guys in the U.S.
17:47But that's not true.
17:48Because Victoria and Darren got matching tattoos.
17:51I think they talk almost every day.
17:54They have conversations that it seems like are a lot deeper.
17:57It sounds like what I'm looking for.
17:59It sounds like stability.
18:02Uh, two Guinness and an Irish margarita.
18:06That's a good one.
18:08So what have you done in Ireland?
18:09A lot of Irish things.
18:11I went to an alpaca farm.
18:13Okay.
18:14I went to a prison.
18:15Katerina.
18:16In court.
18:17Oh, in court.
18:18Oh, so Spike Island.
18:19Yes.
18:20I visited someone's parents.
18:21Like someone you dated or you just met some random people's parents?
18:24No, someone that Katerina hooked me up with.
18:27So first date that you got introduced to the parents?
18:29I did.
18:30Wait, have you time before you met them or that was like the first time?
18:32Like we went to the jail and then we went straight to the mom's house.
18:35Oh, my God.
18:38He's Mr. Ireland.
18:39Mr. Ireland?
18:40Oh, Jesus.
18:41Mr. Ireland, yes.
18:42Oh, Jesus.
18:43He's so funny.
18:44I'm kind of mad because I have high aspirations for me and Keevan's relationship.
18:48But he's timid.
18:51He's allowing another man that I just met and went on one date with to just swoop in and
18:57to woo me and to do all these things.
18:59And now here we are.
19:01But at the same time, our connection is undeniable.
19:04And I've been questioning if I'm falling in love with Keevan.
19:08I don't know.
19:09I'm praying that this weekend getaway gives me the answers that I'm looking for.
19:14Do you know Samba?
19:18No, I don't.
19:20I couldn't ask for a better date right now.
19:23But, you know, I'll be honest.
19:25I still feel a tug towards Bernardo.
19:28All right.
19:29Do you live right now?
19:33For her, I think I need a different approach.
19:35I need a grand gesture.
19:37And proposing is strong on my mind.
19:39Oh, wow.
19:41In Harold's case, Amber is definitely sensing his impatience.
19:45And that's not how it works in Singapore.
19:59Mom, what are you doing?
20:01I'm doing yard work.
20:02Mom, I just want to let you know I'm on my way to my second date with Bruno.
20:07Uh-oh.
20:08Don't be jealous.
20:10I'm so happy to have you.
20:13Thanks.
20:14Your love is what makes me feel alive.
20:18It's what makes me feel alive.
20:20It's what makes me feel alive.
20:22All right?
20:23Yes.
20:26Today, I'm going on my second date with Bruno.
20:29And he invited me to his house tonight so he could cook me dinner.
20:32I am so excited because the key to my heart is food.
20:36I am so excited.
20:37I came into my first date with Bruno a little biased thinking about Bernardo.
20:46That wasn't fair.
20:47I think it's important for me to explore this connection with Bruno.
20:50And a place that he's comfortable in allows us to get a little bit deeper and really see
20:54if our values truly do align.
20:57Hi.
20:58Oh, you're cute.
20:59It's cute.
21:00It's cute.
21:01Yes.
21:02Yeah.
21:03Yeah.
21:04Hi.
21:05Oh, it's been a long day.
21:06You're so pretty.
21:07Oh, I'm tired.
21:08Mm-hmm.
21:09Oh.
21:10It looks so pretty.
21:11Oh, stop.
21:12No.
21:13Aw.
21:14Welcome to my home.
21:15Okay.
21:16Oh, my gosh.
21:17Very nice house.
21:18Yeah.
21:19Very nice house.
21:20Cute.
21:21I love it.
21:22Yeah.
21:23And the kitchen.
21:24Start the cooking.
21:25Oh, I love it.
21:26This is cute.
21:27Yeah.
21:29Saúde.
21:30Saúde.
21:31Cheers.
21:32Yeah.
21:33Thank you for having me over.
21:35Yeah.
21:36Another kiss.
21:37Monica is an incredible woman to see in the future,
21:44in the energy, in the histories,
21:47and the talking, and the kiss.
21:50Everything is very good.
21:52I love this, these moments with her,
21:55and I can, I need you more.
21:58Do you like cooking?
22:00I do like cooking.
22:01I prefer eating.
22:03What did you learn to cook?
22:07With my father.
22:09My father is a very good cooker.
22:11Is he?
22:12Yeah.
22:13And my mom, my mom too.
22:14My mom are incredible too.
22:16And I said, oh, I'm, I've been with the Monica for the second time.
22:22And I went, oh, yeah.
22:23Oh.
22:24She is very happy.
22:25She is very enthusiastic for my life.
22:28Yeah.
22:29Yeah.
22:30My chemistry from the start was hotter with Bernardo.
22:35But with Bruno, it's gone, you know, to the point of great.
22:40I couldn't ask for a better date right now.
22:43He is just wonderful.
22:45Mmm.
22:46It's good.
22:47He's got a great place.
22:49He's making me feel so comfortable.
22:51I'm, um, I'm so happy to be here.
22:55Tell me more about your history.
22:58So I had my daughter when I was in college.
23:01Okay.
23:02Um, and then it took me eight years to graduate with a bachelor's degree.
23:06Eight years?
23:07I had to work.
23:08Mm-hmm.
23:09It was like scraping by, scraping by.
23:12I can imagine all the things you passed through, but, uh, you are a very strong woman.
23:19You are a warrior.
23:20But now you, you, you talk to me.
23:22I have, uh, I have a company.
23:24I work with my mom and my sister.
23:26It looks like, uh, oh, he got everything.
23:28No.
23:29I came from nothing.
23:31A simple life.
23:33A simple life.
23:34And now I have, uh, a little things more.
23:37But I really am that guy.
23:39The, uh, simple guy.
23:41And now it's a very good thing to look into the past and to be proud.
23:46You are, um, winners.
23:49Winners.
23:50Yeah.
23:51You're perfect.
23:56You have been, have been past all these things and you are here with me.
24:06You're beautiful.
24:07Yeah.
24:08You're incredible.
24:09Yeah.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Yeah.
24:13Yeah.
24:14Yeah.
24:15Yeah.
24:16Yeah.
24:17Yeah.
24:18Yeah.
24:19Yeah.
24:20Yeah.
24:21Yeah.
24:22Yeah.
24:23Yeah.
24:24Yeah.
24:25Yeah.
24:26Yeah.
24:27Yeah.
24:28Yeah.
24:29Yeah.
24:30Yeah.
24:31Yeah.
24:32Yeah.
24:33Yeah.
24:34You're perfect.
24:35Don't say that.
24:36Mm.
24:37I'm not.
24:40Yeah.
24:43He is it.
24:48You're perfect.
24:49Don't say that.
24:51I'm not.
24:55Bruno, he is pretty much the man of my dreams.
24:59All right.
25:03Be in a few minutes.
25:04OK.
25:05One more kiss.
25:08He cooks.
25:10He cleans.
25:11He's smart.
25:12That's, like, ideal in a relationship.
25:15All right.
25:16Good night.
25:17You know, I'll be honest.
25:19I still feel a tug toward Bernardo.
25:22And now that we're talking about him, I wonder how he's doing.
25:26And I wonder what he's doing.
25:27And, uh, yeah.
25:32I am so torn.
25:33OK.
25:34OK.
25:35I will talk to you soon.
25:36Yeah.
25:37All right.
25:38Good night.
25:39Good night.
25:48Do you want a picture with a merline?
25:49Oh, definitely.
25:50Yeah.
25:51So there's this thing that they say, the wider you open your mouth, the better luck you have.
25:56Oh, OK.
25:57Look up.
25:58Oh, OK.
25:59Look up.
26:00This way.
26:01Wider!
26:09It has the head of a lion and a body of a fish.
26:13Oh, right.
26:14Because Singapore used to be a fishing village a long time ago.
26:17So this is a representation of what Singapore is about.
26:21Love it.
26:22On my date with Amber, we had an amazing boat ride.
26:25And she was able to point out the merlion and she pointed out numerous other spots.
26:31Did you have good weather like this?
26:33It was like this.
26:34But then with her, the sun opened up, the clouds parted, and it was a wonderful day.
26:39What about the first kiss?
26:40Did you do it yet?
26:41Oh, good story.
26:42She started to lean in to give me a kiss on the cheek, and I saw her moving in.
26:45I turned and caught her.
26:47From that, she felt opened up and was comfortable to talk about sex.
26:50I was like, oh, my.
26:51OK, I don't want to know too much.
26:53It's a private thing that she's sharing with you.
26:55She is something special.
26:58Proposing is strong on my mind.
27:01Oh, wow.
27:03OK.
27:05As a matchmaker, it is challenging for me when two clients have different expectations
27:10when it comes to dating.
27:12And in Harold's case, Amber is definitely sensing his impatience.
27:16Harold makes me feel very special.
27:18But Harold is really here on a mission to find a wife.
27:22And no one decides, like, their life partner in a few days.
27:26You know, to me, I think it might indicate immaturity.
27:31Maturity is a very important thing because if I'm going to live with someone who is not mature,
27:36then everything will just fall on me, and that will be tiring.
27:40I'm going to be able to get married.
27:42Amber definitely likes Harold, but she just wants to move at a slower pace.
27:47I mean, even the sneaky kiss, for instance.
27:50I told Harold to kiss Amber on the cheek, but he did not listen to me.
27:54He went in for the lips instead.
27:56That's not how it works in Singapore.
27:58We tend to take our time in any relationship.
28:00So we can be sure that our partner is the right fit for us and our family.
28:05I really think that you and Amber have a great connection.
28:11And she had a great time, so that's a good thing.
28:14But I did check in with her after her date.
28:17And we have spoken about how that you are more sure and more certain that.
28:26Amber, I think it's important for you to slow down, enjoy the process, take time, be patient.
28:32Do you agree with that?
28:37Yes, I agree.
28:39But it'll be hard.
28:41I understand why Dolly wants me to take my time and to not rush things.
28:46But with my time limited here in Singapore, I want to leave with a love.
28:50Michaela and I didn't solidify our relationship before I left Prague.
28:54So I feel that if I don't solidify the relationship with the label, it may not survive the time apart.
29:02Um, so, another thing.
29:05She just wonders if you have the maturity to be the head of the household.
29:10Like, show leadership and show you can take care of her.
29:15Uh, so, for her, I think I need a different approach.
29:20I need another different grand gesture.
29:23Um, but it doesn't have to be anything big.
29:26It could be a drawing.
29:28Maybe ask her to the United States to visit me.
29:31Something like that, and then she can meet my parents.
29:34Uh, I don't know about that.
29:37I don't feel it's really all that fair.
29:39Amber has been giving me mixed signals.
29:42She's the one who wanted to talk about sex and non-traditional things.
29:45So, because of that, I thought she'd be more open to moving faster than an ordinary Singaporean woman.
29:51But now Dolly wants me to pump the brakes and slow the relationship.
29:55I am more confused than ever.
29:57And I fear that I might mess up and be back at square one brokenhearted and just twice devastated.
30:09You've got something great, uh, with Amber.
30:13And you should just focus in on that right now.
30:20So, all these tattoos that you have on your arms, like, are you tattered, like, everywhere?
30:23Yeah, fully.
30:24Oh, fully?
30:25Yeah.
30:26I think it's important that he's open and honest.
30:29I like the bad boy look, but I don't want them to actually be bad boys.
30:32So, have you ever been married?
30:35Um...
30:36Haha.
30:48So awkward.
30:50Best first date ever, no?
30:51Right?
30:52Okay, okay, okay.
30:53Stop.
30:54Okay, so I hope you all guys enjoy the training.
30:56Thank you, thank you.
30:57Yeah, thank you for your name.
30:59So, shall we go and have a drink after this and relax?
31:03Yeah.
31:06But before that...
31:10Aww, these are so beautiful.
31:13Thank you for being such a sport.
31:15That's so sweet.
31:16Aww.
31:17This was my favourite part of the day.
31:20Okay, anyway, I'm gonna go and get changed.
31:22Okay.
31:23Sounds good.
31:24Good.
31:26I love flowers.
31:27This is so sweet.
31:29After Muay Thai with EJ, I definitely feel like I earned that bouquet.
31:34It was definitely a different experience.
31:37But I'm proud of myself for getting myself out of my comfort zone.
31:42And I'm happy that EJ, you know, kind of helped push me there.
31:51Gosh, this guy is so beautiful, right?
31:53Did you do this for me?
31:54I wish I had a direct line to go on.
31:57Right, me too.
31:58That would be interesting, right?
32:01So far today, I think, he's doing quite well.
32:03But I believe if you want to fall in love with someone, you have to not hold back emotionally.
32:07And that creates a very strong bond with your partner.
32:11And it's more than just physical.
32:13I definitely want to get to know her more and see where it goes.
32:16So where are you from?
32:17So I'm originally from here.
32:18Born in Singapore.
32:19My mom is Portuguese.
32:20My dad's in here.
32:21Okay.
32:22Would you ever want to live anywhere else?
32:23I do want to live in Bali.
32:24I also want to expand my business over into Bali.
32:25Can I come?
32:26I'll send you the email for sure.
32:27Okay, perfect.
32:28Come on.
32:29Cheers.
32:30What are we choosing to?
32:31Let's cheers to an interesting person.
32:32Okay.
32:33Cheers to that.
32:34Cheers.
32:35Cheers.
32:36So what makes you want to come to Singapore to look for love?
32:38You also typically have really good traditional values and family values and things like that
32:44that are important to me.
32:45So family is a very big thing for you.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Yeah.
32:48Yeah.
32:49Yeah.
32:50Yeah.
32:51Yeah.
32:52Yeah.
32:53Yeah.
32:54Yeah.
32:55Yeah.
32:56Yeah.
32:57Yeah.
32:58Yeah.
32:59Yeah.
33:00Yeah.
33:01Yeah.
33:02Yeah.
33:03Yeah.
33:04Yeah.
33:05My mom lives like one straight away from me, which is amazing.
33:08I get to see her all the time.
33:09We're very, very close.
33:10She's actually here with me on the trip.
33:12Nice.
33:13Yeah.
33:14Okay.
33:15Um, but yeah, I was extremely close to my dad.
33:18Um, and after he passed, I guess my mom and I got even closer.
33:21So yeah, she's like my best friend now.
33:24Um, both my parents passed 10 years ago.
33:27I'm so sorry.
33:28Yeah.
33:29I mean, I was really close with my mom.
33:31Um, dad was mostly not around.
33:34So that not being around, I had to step in and be working early at an early age, supporting
33:42the family, doing all grown-up stuff at a very young age, right?
33:47I think that built a lot of resilience and made you realize, look at the world in a different
33:53way, right?
33:54For sure.
33:55I love that he's being open and honest and vulnerable.
33:58I feel more comfortable opening up to EJ versus Sean because EJ just seems like a real, genuine
34:05human.
34:06And I think it's important that he's driven and motivated.
34:09I have also built my business from nothing.
34:12So I can relate a lot to this.
34:15So have you ever been married or close to being married?
34:19Yes.
34:20I was married about 13 years ago.
34:23Okay.
34:24Live at first sight.
34:25Oh yeah?
34:26I saw her, she saw me and we fell in love immediately.
34:28Really?
34:29But sometimes what you want is not what you need.
34:34I have had love at first sight situation one time and it was the same kind of thing.
34:38I went through a really, really rough time after that breakup.
34:41And so I don't know, I guess at some point I just thought like I'm never going to fall
34:46in love again.
34:47And this is kind of embarrassing, but my dad is cremated and whenever I'm sad or going
34:53through something, I always find myself like going over there and just, because it's
34:57really peaceful where he is.
34:59I just like sneak in at night and I lay on his, his little tombstone and I just like
35:04look at the stars and pray.
35:06Hearing her talk about how her father's ashes were split and when she feels that she needs
35:12answers, she's go, she goes dead.
35:14It says a lot.
35:15It says a lot about her personality.
35:17I think if you look at her face value, the impression would be a certain way.
35:22But I think if you ask the real questions, the deep ones and the, and you hear her talking
35:27about feelings and emotion and connection with family, then you realize there's so much
35:31more to her than just the outlook.
35:34And that's what's different.
35:36I'm happy I met her.
35:38So all these tattoos that you have on your arms, like are you tattered like everywhere?
35:42They're full.
35:43Oh, fully?
35:44Yeah.
35:45Oh, wow.
35:46Okay.
35:47So the dragon extends from here all the way to the back.
35:49I know we're in public, but can I see it?
35:50No.
35:51Why?
35:52I don't think about shit.
35:53No, we're not in public.
35:54I'm shy.
35:55Maybe we should go to a rich bar then.
35:58And then I get to see you put your shirt on with your dragon.
36:00Yes.
36:01Then perhaps you get to see me with my shirt on.
36:04That's what I want to know.
36:07EJ is so different from his appearance.
36:09I like the bad boy look, but I don't want them to actually be bad boys.
36:13He's so kind and gentle.
36:16And it's really opened my eyes to dating someone outside of my car zone.
36:19What about your tattoos?
36:21I have a butterfly, which...
36:22Where's the butterfly?
36:23You don't need to know where they all are.
36:26Maybe I do need to focus less on checking boxes and find someone that I can love and
36:35that can love me back fiercely.
36:36Okay, maybe Dolly does know what she's doing here.
36:40I'm about to go on an overnight day with Keevan and I don't even know how I feel.
36:50Do you want to go on this, on this overnight with him?
36:53I'm sitting on it, but it hurts.
37:21I spoke with Amber after her date with Glen.
37:26And I'm quite worried because it is totally out of ordinary in an Irish culture to introduce
37:33your girlfriend to your family on a first date.
37:36He is very fast.
37:38This is the speed of light.
37:40And I personally believe Glen represents Amber's love-bombing past.
37:45And Keevan represents Amber's potential future.
37:50I have recently met Keevan for coffee and he shared with me that he has very deep feelings
37:56for Amber.
37:57So I told him to step up and make his feelings more obvious because if they don't open up to
38:04one another now, their relationship is in danger.
38:08I'm about to go on an overnight day with Keevan and I don't even know how I feel.
38:17Do you want to go on this, on this overnight with him?
38:21Like at this point, I don't know what I want.
38:24I don't know.
38:27Everything is unclear.
38:29The fact that Darren and Victoria, they've done something so personal together where they
38:34have like long lasting memories together.
38:36Like that is what I was wishing and praying for and like really searching for.
38:42For me, if I know that someone is interested in me, I have to talk to them continuously.
38:47We have to continuously build that bond.
38:50And it's hard for me to put my trust in somebody where I don't know where we really stand.
38:55Have you texted Glen since you saw him?
38:58Glen has texted me every single day since I saw him.
39:01Like he's been super persistent.
39:03And he's let me know like, I want to get to know you.
39:06I want to, I want to pursue you.
39:09And I know it's not good to be jealous hearted, but even he's been like, you know, do I need to come and get you?
39:16Like, where are you at?
39:18What guys are you dating?
39:20Like, he wants to be the number one guy.
39:24And I knew that this trip was going to make me emotional, but that's what's really making me feel overwhelmed.
39:31I know I have literally seven days.
39:35Like it's my last week here.
39:38And it's just, it's a lot.
39:40It's way more than I thought that I would be feeling.
39:48Next time on Match Me Abroad.
39:51Here you are.
39:53I want Amber to see that I have a fun and spontaneous side to me.
39:56So I planned a crazy adventure date for Amber.
39:59It might be the craziest thing I've ever done for love so far.
40:02Do you want to tell me what I'm here for?
40:05Yes.
40:06Hoi, to the airport, please.
40:07What?
40:08Hope he did.
40:09Huh?
40:12I spoke to EJ earlier today.
40:13What did he have to say about me?
40:15Are you ready for it?
40:16Yeah.
40:17And also remember, I'm on your side.
40:19Okay.
40:20What are you going to tell me?
40:21The first impression that he had of you was that, oh no, is she high maintenance.
40:28So where do you see this going with Darren?
40:31Um, I don't know.
40:33I think just maybe that like we're on the same page, like the same like vibe.
40:37If you want to have real intimacy in your relationship, the next step naturally is physical connection.
40:43And can you imagine ever making love with him?
40:50So what you been doing since Thursday?
40:52I haven't talked to you in so long.
40:54It's like, you know, it's important for you to have your space.
40:56I don't have all the information on why Keevan's communication is falling off.
41:02But I am annoyed.
41:04You've got none of the dates and stuff.
41:06You know, I wasn't texting.
41:13I don't think we are on the same page.
41:17I'm so super disappointed.
41:20This is terrible.
41:22This is never, this is exactly what I was concerned about.
41:25I couldn't even guess.
