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.
07:32I'm holding back.
07:33I'm holding back.
07:34I'm holding back.
07:35I want you now.
07:37I wonder if you noticed.
07:47Coming.
07:53Hi.
07:54Sorry I'm in the process of putting my shoe on.
07:55Everything's on point.
07:56Okay.
07:57You are ready.
07:58Yeah.
07:59I will be if I put my other shoe on.
08:01My date with Sean a couple of days ago was horrific.
08:04And I'm really wondering if Dolly,
08:08if we're on the same page.
08:10Sean asked me how many men I slept with.
08:12He asked me, like, my body count.
08:14He said that?
08:15Yeah.
08:16He should not be talking about a lot of these things
08:18on a first date.
08:19When I first met him, he did express
08:21that he is wanting to find love.
08:24There's compatibility there in terms of values.
08:27So I'm going to talk to him.
08:29I'm going to tell Sean that he has to be better.
08:32Hopefully, you can help him.
08:35Of course, I'm still annoyed.
08:36But Dolly, I don't have time to waste.
08:39So 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.
08:49And sweating on a first date is just not very cute.
08:53EJ!
08:54So this is Sarah.
08:55Hi.
08:56I'm Sarah.
08:57Pleasure.
08:58Great.
08:59We'll be going to my gym.
09:01Okay.
09:02And we'll be having a little bit of a workout.
09:03Okay.
09:04Cool that?
09:05Yeah, let's do it.
09:06EJ is Singaporean.
09:07But he's a mix of Portuguese, Malaysian, and Indian.
09:11And has a lot to offer Sarah.
09:14Have a great workout.
09:15Okay.
09:16And I'll check in with you guys after your date.
09:18Okay, great.
09:19All right, have fun.
09:21Bye.
09:22Sarah wants a man who is masculine and who is the provider of the family.
09:27And EJ is a successful business owner of several gyms.
09:31And he's also a bodybuilder.
09:33He's also willing to spoil a girl, but not too much.
09:38You know, so he's just like the perfect balance for Sarah.
09:41And I'm really excited to see if Sarah is willing to open her heart and pursue things with EJ.
09:50So here you are.
09:55Welcome to after this tennis.
09:57All right.
09:59Wow, that's cool.
10:01So this is my gym.
10:03And this is where we will be training today.
10:09Okay.
10:10That's the cage.
10:11All right.
10:12Let me go and get changed first.
10:13Okay.
10:14And then we can kind of start.
10:15Sounds good.
10:16EJ is definitely handsome and masculine.
10:19I'm a sucker for big muscles and platoos.
10:21So, yeah, he's cute.
10:25He's an entrepreneur.
10:27He's easy to talk to.
10:29So we'll give it one more shot.
10:32I'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.
10:39So just have fun.
10:40Okay.
10:41Don't hit me, okay?
10:42Don't hit you?
10:43Don't hit me.
10:44I want to hit you.
10:45Okay.
10:46Shall we?
10:47Okay.
10:48My first impression of Sharon, I was like, okay, wow.
10:52The way she looks, she is sorry to say like bimboish.
10:57Maybe I just have to get to know her a little bit more.
10:59Okay.
11:00Show the situation.
11:01To the front.
11:02I wanted to do Muay Thai together with Sharon today.
11:05And I want to show her my gym.
11:06Because this is a reflection of who I am.
11:08And what I do for a living.
11:10And this is very important for my partner to understand.
11:13You know, because your partner is the better half of you.
11:16And they need to understand what you do in order to support you.
11:19So that you can be better at what you do.
11:21And 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.
11:30Okay, facing me.
11:31Trap, cross, left hook with a right front knee.
11:34Ready?
11:35Go.
11:36Cross, left hook, right knee.
11:38Okay, nice.
11:40Okay, 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.
11:52Alright?
11:53Okay.
11:54So maybe me and he, we can do one round to show her.
11:57Yeah.
11:58Okay, so from here, go.
11:59Alright.
12:02Alright.
12:03Okay.
12:04So that is the idea of the reaction drill.
12:06Okay, you're going to let me get you, right?
12:08Okay, ready?
12:10Three, two, one, go.
12:11I'm scared.
12:13Dolly is constantly telling me how I need to get out of my comfort zone.
12:18But I'm a total girly girl.
12:20And this is not my vibe.
12:22Like, I like to chill and drink wine and talk.
12:25That's more of my vibe.
12:28I don't like that.
12:32I'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.
12:42It is big.
12:46My hair is, like, dipping.
12:47Boobs bouncing.
12:48Like, yeah, it's so embarrassing.
12:52Hopefully this date gets better.
12:54If not, then I really need to consider finding a different matchmaker.
12:59All right.
13:02We're not done?
13:06So fill me in.
13:07What's been going on with you and Darren?
13:09We got matching tattoos.
13:11Are those titties?
13:12Yes, they are.
13:14He got the same as a king.
13:15Yeah, so he's got titties on his cast?
13:18Mm-hmm.
13:28Hi.
13:29How are you?
13:30I'm fabulous.
13:31How are you?
13:33Can I do two pints again?
13:34Two pints.
13:35Yes.
13:36Perfect.
13:42Excuse me.
13:50I 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.
13:55You're fine.
13:56Cheers, though.
13:57Thanks.
13:58Cheers.
14:00Or as Keevan tells me to say, Sláinte.
14:05I'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, it is.
14:14It is.
14:15Oh, awesome.
14:16Okay, so two newbies.
14:17Yeah, exactly.
14:18Okay, so that took away a lot of nerves.
14:19Oh, yeah.
14:21Yeah.
14:22Okay, now I'm excited to have another newbie.
14:23Yes, yeah.
14:24At least we're in it together.
14:25At least we have each other.
14:27I think it's very important for Amber and Victoria to support one another and feel that
14:32they are not alone in their exciting adventure in Ireland.
14:35So fill me in.
14:36Okay.
14:37What's been going on with you and Derek?
14:38We got matching tattoos.
14:40No way.
14:41I got to see this.
14:42Are those titties?
14:43Yes, they are.
14:44Yeah.
14:45So I still have to keep the thing on still, but like...
14:51That's so funny.
14:52Yeah.
14:53So it's like me and then like his style.
14:55The after girl looks like me every morning.
14:57I know.
14:58You all right?
14:59I love it.
15:00I love it.
15:01He got the same exact thing.
15:03He's got titties on his calf.
15:05He got titties on his calf.
15:06Mm-hmm.
15:07Darren and I have been texting every day and it's been really flirty and everything.
15:14And 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.
15:30You look so happy.
15:31You're like...
15:32Yeah.
15:33I'm loving it.
15:34I'm loving it.
15:35I 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.
15:56And it sucks because everything that I was like questioning about Keevan...
16:00Mm-hmm.
16:01...are the things that he already has.
16:03It's easy for Glenn to be in the running right now,
16:05because the communications with Keevan are slacking since he came to my hotel.
16:10Would 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.
16:20I'm very big on communication.
16:22He knows that I'm only going to be here for so long.
16:25And 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.
16:32I'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.
16:41And I just don't even know where this came from.
16:43What's been going on these past three days that I haven't seen you?
16:46I want to know that someone is really, really interested in me.
16:49Yeah.
16:50I don't want to question it.
16:51Not me getting teary.
16:52I'm such a baby.
16:53But I'm like...
16:54If you cry, I'll cry.
16:55I'm sorry.
16:56Let me hold it back.
16:57My nose is going to get red, though.
16:58Oh, I don't even have a tissue with me.
16:59With Keevan, I just want him to communicate better.
17:00Yeah.
17:01Yeah.
17:02Well, do you think that maybe you should say that to him?
17:03Do you think it would make a difference?
17:04I think so.
17:05Good.
17:06Because you don't want a guy that's going to get offended by...
17:07Yeah.
17:08But if he does get offended, then I know that he's not the one.
17:09Exactly.
17:10Hello.
17:11Oh, we're all on Guinness.
17:12How are you?
17:13Of course.
17:14Good.
17:15How are you?
17:16How are you?
17:17I'm good.
17:18I'm Irish.
17:19Do you want a Guinness?
17:20You know what?
17:21I said I wanted a margarita because I'm Texan, but I'm going to do another Guinness.
17:24Is that a Texan name?
17:25It is.
17:26Okay, I'm good.
17:27He looks nice.
17:28Yeah, he's super nice.
17:29Oh, yeah.
17:30He looks nice.
17:31Oh, yeah.
17:32He's super nice.
17:33Oh, yeah.
17:34He looks nice.
17:35Oh, yeah.
17:36He's super nice.
17:39Katarina told me the guys in Ireland move at a way slower pace than the guys in the U.S.,
17:46but that's not true because Victoria and Darren got matching tattoos.
17:50I think they talk almost every day.
17:53They have conversations that it seems like are a lot deeper.
17:56It sounds like what I'm looking for.
17:59It sounds like stability.
18:01Two Guinness and an Irish margarita.
18:04That's a good one.
18:07So 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.
18:15Kilmainham.
18:16In Cork.
18:17Oh, in Cork.
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 Katarina hooked me up with.
18:26So 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.
18:37He's Mr. Ireland.
18:39Mr. Ireland?
18:40Oh, Jesus.
18:41Mr. Ireland, yes.
18:42Oh, Jesus.
18:43Funny.
18:44I'm kind of mad because I have high aspirations for me and Keevan's relationship, but he's timid.
18:51He's allowing another man that I just met and went on one date with to just swoop in and to 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.
19:13Do 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.
19:37Proposing is strong on my mind.
19:39Oh, wow.
19:41In Harold's case, Amber is definitely sensing his impatience.
19:45That's not how it works in Singapore.
19:59Mom, what are you doing?
20:01I'm doing yard work.
20:02I just want to let you know I'm on my way to my second date with Bruno.
20:06Uh-oh.
20:08Don't be jealous.
20:10I'm so happy to meet you.
20:13Thanks.
20:14Your love is what makes me feel alive.
20:18It's what brings you back.
20:22All right?
20:23Yes.
20:26Today, I'm going on my second date with Bruno.
20:28And he invited me to his house tonight so he could cook me dinner.
20:31I am so excited because the key to my heart is food.
20:39I came into my first date with Bruno a little biased, thinking about Bernardo.
20:44That wasn't fair.
20:45I think it's important for me to explore this connection with Bruno and a place that he's comfortable in allows us to get a little bit deeper and really see if our values truly do align.
20:55Hi.
20:56Oh, you're cute.
20:57It's cute.
20:58It's cute.
20:59It's cute.
21:00Yes.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Yeah.
21:03Hi.
21:04Oh.
21:05It's been a long day.
21:06Oh, I'm tired.
21:07I'm tired.
21:08Oh.
21:09It looks so pretty.
21:10Oh, stop.
21:11No.
21:12Aw.
21:13Welcome to my home.
21:14Okay.
21:15Oh, my gosh.
21:16Very nice house.
21:17Yeah.
21:18Very nice house.
21:19Cute.
21:20I love it.
21:22And the kitchen.
21:23Start the cooking.
21:24Oh, I love it.
21:25This is cute.
21:28Saude.
21:29Saude.
21:30Cheers.
21:31Yeah.
21:33Thank you for having me over.
21:35Another kiss.
21:39Monica, she's an incredible woman to see in the future.
21:44And the energy, and the stories, and the talking, and the kiss.
21:49Everything is very good.
21:51I love this, these moments with her.
21:54And I can, I need you more.
21:58Do you like cooking?
22:00I do like cooking.
22:01I prefer eating.
22:06What did you learn to cook?
22:07With my father.
22:08My 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.
22:21And I went, oh, yeah.
22:23Aw.
22:24She is very happy.
22:25She, I'm very enthusiastic for my life.
22:27Yeah.
22:28Yeah.
22:29My chemistry from the start was hotter with Bernardo.
22:34But with Bruno, it's gone, you know, to the point of great.
22:39I couldn't ask for a better date right now.
22:42He is just wonderful.
22:44Mmm.
22:46It's good.
22:47He's got a great place.
22:48He's making me feel so comfortable.
22:51I'm, um, I'm so happy to be here.
22:54Tell, tell me more about your history.
22:58So I had my daughter when I was in college.
23:00Okay.
23:01Um, and then it took me eight years to graduate with a bachelor's degree.
23:06Eight years?
23:07Mm-hmm.
23:08I had to work.
23:09It was like scraping by, scraping by.
23:12I can't imagine all the things you, you passed through, but, uh, you are a very strong
23:18woman.
23:19You are a warrior.
23:20But now you, you, you talk to me, I have a, I have a company, I work with my mom and
23:25my sister.
23:26It looks like, oh, he got everything.
23:28No, I came from nothing.
23:32A simple life.
23:33Yeah.
23:34And now I have, uh, a little things more.
23:37But I really am that guy, that, uh, simple guy.
23:40And now it's a very good thing to look into the past and to be proud.
23:46You are, um, winners.
23:49Yeah.
23:51You're perfect.
23:55You have been, have been past all these things and you are here with me.
24:04You're beautiful.
24:06Yeah.
24:07You're incredible.
24:08Not just the same.
24:09Not just the same.
24:10Not just the same.
24:19Yeah?
24:20Yeah.
24:21You're perfect.
24:22Don't say that.
24:23Mm.
24:24Mm.
24:25I'm not.
24:26Bruno.
24:27Bruno.
24:28He is.
24:29pretty much the man of my dreams.
24:30All right.
24:32I like.
24:33Do you know, do you know what?
24:34Maravilhosa.
24:35Maravilhosa.
24:36Do you know what Samba?
24:38No, I don't.
24:39I'm a professional now.
24:40Yeah!
24:41Do you know what?
24:42You're perfect.
24:43Don't say that.
24:44Mm.
24:45I'm not.
24:46Bruno.
24:47He is pretty much the man of my dreams.
24:49Don't say that.
24:51I'm not.
24:55Bruno, he is pretty much the man of my dreams.
24:59All right.
24:59I like to leave right now.
25:03Be in a few minutes.
25:04OK.
25:06One more kiss.
25:08He cooks, cleans, he's smart.
25:11That's, like, ideal in a relationship.
25:15All right.
25:16Good night.
25:16You know, I'll be honest.
25:19I still feel a tug towards Bernardo.
25:22And now that we're talking about him,
25:26I wonder how he's doing, and I wonder what he's doing.
25:28And, uh, yeah.
25:32I am so torn.
25:34OK.
25:34OK.
25:34I will talk to you soon.
25:35Yeah.
25:36You can message me any time, OK?
25:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:38All right.
25:38Good night.
25:39Good night.
25:46Do you want a picture with a merlion?
25:50Oh, definitely.
25:51So there's this thing that they say, the wider you open your mouth,
25:55the better luck you have.
25:57Oh, OK.
25:58Look up.
25:59This way.
26:00Wider!
26:01It has the head of a lion and a body of a fish.
26:13Oh.
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.
26:43She started to lean in to give me a kiss on the cheek, and I saw her moving in.
26:45I turned and caught her.
26:48From that, she felt opened up and was comfortable to talk about sex.
26:51I was like, oh, my.
26:52OK, I don't want to know too much.
26:53It's a private thing that she's sharing with you?
26:56She is something special.
26:59Proposing is strong on my mind.
27:01Oh, wow.
27:03OK.
27:06As a matchmaker, it is challenging for me when two clients have different expectations when 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's really here on a mission to find her 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 be with someone who is not mature,
27:36then everything will just fall on me.
27:38And that will be tiring.
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 at 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, so 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, and she had a great time, so that's a good thing.
28:15But I did check in with her after her date, and 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?
28:38Yes, I agree, but it'll be hard.
28:42I understand why Dolly wants me to take my time and to not rush things, but with my time limited here in Singapore, I want to leave with a love.
28:51Michaela and I didn't solidify our relationship before I left Prague, so I feel that if I don't solidify the relationship with the label, it may not survive the time apart.
29:00So, another thing, she just wonders if you have the maturity to be the head of the household, like show leadership and show you can take care of her.
29:18So, 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. It could be a drawing.
29:28Maybe ask her to the United States to visit me. Something like that, and then she can meet my parents.
29:34Uh, I don't know about that.
29:36I don't feel it's really all that fair. Amber 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, and I fear that I might mess up and be back at square one, brokenhearted, and just twice devastated.
30:10You've got something great, uh, with Amber, and you should just focus in on that right now.
30:16So, all these tattoos that you have on your arms, like, are you tattered, like, everywhere?
30:24Yeah, fully.
30:25Oh, 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.
30:33So, have you ever been married?
30:35Um, ha ha.
30:46It's so 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.
30:57Thank you, thank you.
30:57Yeah, thank you for your name.
30:59So, shall we go and have a drink of this and relax?
31:03Yeah.
31:06But before that...
31:10Aw, you're so beautiful.
31:14Thank you for being such a squat.
31:16Aw.
31:17This was my favorite part of the day.
31:20Okay, anyway, I'm going to go and get changed.
31:22Okay.
31:22Sounds good.
31:23Good.
31:26I love flowers.
31:28This is so sweet.
31:29After Muay Thai with EJ, I definitely feel like I earned that bouquet.
31:35It was definitely a different experience, but I'm proud of myself for getting myself out of my comfort zone.
31:41And 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?
31:59So 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?
32:20So I'm originally from here, born in Singapore.
32:23My mom is Portuguese, and my dad's in here.
32:25Okay.
32:26Yep.
32:26Would you ever want to live anywhere else?
32:29I do want to live in Bali.
32:32I also want to expand my business over into Bali.
32:35Can I come?
32:37I'll send you the invite for sure.
32:39Okay, perfect.
32:40Come on.
32:41Cheers?
32:42What are we choosing to?
32:43Let's cheers to an interesting birthday.
32:46Okay, cheers to that.
32:48Cheers.
32:51So what makes you want to come to Singapore to look for love?
32:55You also typically have really good traditional values and family values and things like that that are important to me.
33:02So family is a very big thing for you?
33:04Yeah.
33:05My mom lives like one street 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.
33:12Yeah.
33:13Okay.
33:14But yeah, I was extremely close to my dad.
33:18And after he passed, I guess my mom and I got even closer.
33:21So yeah, she's like my best friend now.
33:25Both my parents passed 10 years ago.
33:27I'm so sorry.
33:27I mean, I was really close to my mom.
33:32Dad was mostly not around.
33:36So dad not being around, I had to step in and be working early at an early age, supporting the family, doing all grown-up stuff at a very young age, right?
33:46I think that built a lot of resilience and made you realize, look at the world in a different way, 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 human.
34:06And I think it's important that he's driven and motivated.
34:09I have also built my business from nothing, so I can relate a lot to this.
34:14So have you ever been married or close to being married?
34:20Yes, I was married about 13 years ago.
34:24Okay.
34:25Love at first sight.
34:26Oh yeah?
34:26I saw her, she saw me and we fell in love immediately.
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 in love again.
34:47And this is kind of embarrassing, but my dad is cremated and whenever I'm sad or going through something,
34:54I always find myself like going over there and just, because it's really peaceful where he is.
34:59I just like sneak in at night and I lay on his little tombstone and I just like look at the stars and pray.
35:06Hearing her talk about how her father's ashes were spoiled and when she feels that she needs answers,
35:13she goes there.
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 will be a certain way.
35:22But I think if you ask the real questions, the deep ones and the,
35:26and you hear her talking about feelings and emotion and connection with family,
35:30then you realise there's so much more 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.
35:44Oh, wow.
35:45Okay.
35:46So 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?
35:51I don't think about shit, no.
35:52We're not in public.
35:53I'm shy.
35:54You're shy?
35:55Yes.
35:55Maybe we should go to a wish bar then.
35:57And then I get to see you've got your shirt on with your dragon.
36:00Yes.
36:01Then perhaps you get to see me reflection 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, and it's really opened my eyes to dating someone outside of my comfort zone.
36:20What about your tattoos?
36:21I have a butterfly, which...
36:23Where's the butterfly?
36:23You don't need to know where they all are.
36:27Maybe I do need to focus less on checking boxes and find someone that I can love and that can love me back fiercely.
36:37Okay, maybe Dolly does know what she's doing here.
36:45I'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 overnight with him?
36:52I'm sitting on it, but it hurts.
37:21I spoke with Amber after her date with Glenn, and I'm quite worried because it is totally out of ordinary in an Irish culture to introduce your girlfriend to your family on a first date.
37:36He is very fast.
37:38This is the speed of light.
37:39And I personally believe Glenn represents Amber's love-bombing past, and Keevan represents Amber's potential future.
37:49I have recently met Keevan for coffee, and he shared with me that he has very deep feelings for Amber.
37:58So I told him to step up and make his feelings more obvious, because if they don't open up to one another now, their relationship is in danger.
38:08I'm about to go on an overnight day with Keevan, and now I don't even know how I feel.
38:18Do you want to go on this overnight with him?
38:22Like, 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 have, like, long-lasting memories together.
38:37Like, that is what I was wishing and praying for and, like, really searching for.
38:43For 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 Glenn since you saw him?
38:59Glenn has texted me every single day since I saw him.
39:01Like, he's been super persistent.
39:04And he's let me know, like, I want to get to know you.
39:06I 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.
39:33I 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.
40:00It 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.
40:06Ahoy, to the airport, please.
40:08What?
40:08Hope he did.
40:09Huh?
40:09I spoke to EJ earlier today.
40:14What did he have to say about me?
40:15Are you ready for it?
40:16Yeah.
40:16And also remember, I'm on your side.
40:19Okay.
40:20What are you going to tell me?
40:20The first impression that he had of you, um, was that, oh no, is she high maintenance?
40:28So where do you see this going with Darren?
40:32Um, I don't know.
40:33I think just maybe that, like, we're on the same page.
40:35Like, 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?
40:45So what you been doing since Thursday?
40:52I hadn't talked to you in so long.
40:54It's like, you know, it's important for you to have your space.
40:58I don't have all the information on why Keevan's communication is falling off, but I am annoyed.
41:04You've done all the dates and stuff.
41:06You know, I wasn't texting.
41:07I don't think we are on the same page.
