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.
00:28Uh, big mistake.
00:30I'm a little worried that it might scare her off
00:32and 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.
00:41Yeah, unless you're, like, you're in the adult entertainment industry,
00:45which I actually explored.
00:47Really?
00:48Do you honestly think that I would want
00:51the father of my children and my husband to be in porn?
00:58Sorry to hear of an old loss.
01:00Oh, it's fine.
01:01Like, I don't 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.
01:09I 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?
01:29The 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.
01:50Uh...
01:51This is not good.
02:03This looks good.
02:04Okay, which side do you want to sit?
02:06Um...
02:07I'll sit this side.
02:09All right.
02:18Cheers?
02:19Oh, yes.
02:20To a beautiful date.
02:21Yep.
02:24Mmm.
02:25Pineapple.
02:26I've never dated a woman as complex as Amber,
02:28and it's throwing me for loops.
02:30In the back of my mind,
02:32I keep thinking about how she has told Dolly
02:34she has concerns about autism and spectrum,
02:36but she wasn't up front with me,
02:38and 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,
02:49but left foot or right foot.
02:53Mmm.
02:54How's the food?
02:55Oh, that's good.
02:56I don't know what that is.
02:57It's good, though.
02:58Uh...
02:59This two are...
03:00A little bit spicy.
03:01It's chickpea.
03:02Yeah.
03:03It tastes like cheese.
03:04I love cheese.
03:05I used to have really bad diarrhea
03:08when I have milk.
03:10I thought it would be funny if it was gas.
03:13Gas is funny because girls don't fart.
03:15No?
03:16Which part of biology
03:18tells you girls don't fart?
03:19Oh, the polite part.
03:21That's very nice of you.
03:23Yes.
03:24Hey, all right.
03:25I actually have questions I want to ask you.
03:28Okay.
03:29What is the wildest thing at the end?
03:32I don't know how much I can say.
03:34Just go ahead.
03:35I have a high tolerance.
03:36Sorry.
03:37Uh...
03:38I took a day off college and I met my girlfriend in another town
03:44because we were far apart.
03:45Okay.
03:46And we had a fling in a car in a field in broad daylight.
03:51Wow.
03:52Okay.
03:53That sounds...
03:54Sounds 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.
04:06For me, I think a little differently
04:08because I feel...
04:09sex is a very important part of our relationship.
04:11Yeah.
04:12So, for a lot of questions to that,
04:15besides the car one...
04:17Mm-hmm.
04:18What's the most exotic place you've had sex?
04:22Uh...
04:24Movie theatre.
04:26Oh.
04:27All right.
04:29I 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.
04:47Oh, I should 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.
05:00Mm-hmm?
05:01With sex, do you instigate or the man instigate
05:03or is it always together?
05:05It depends.
05:07Who has the urge?
05:09Being sinful.
05:11A lot of people view sex as a way for things like,
05:15I want to have kids.
05:16Okay, then we have sex.
05:17Not many people actually enjoy the process of it.
05:20Oh, okay.
05:21So...
05:22I enjoy the process of it.
05:23That's good.
05:24In Asian culture, we have sex only after marriage.
05:29But for me, maybe five, six things.
05:33Because sometimes things just progress and things happen.
05:37Like the kiss on the lips.
05:39It was a bit sneaky but pleasantly surprised, I would say.
05:42I think I am definitely more attracted to Harold.
05:45But I am still concerned about something.
05:48So, we'll see how it goes.
05:53So, I...
05:54I think we have had a good date.
05:57But...
05:58I haven't worried about autism.
06:00It's regarding...
06:02Relating to...
06:03Offsprings.
06:04Oh.
06:05Yeah.
06:06I understand there is a high chance that our kids...
06:10It could be passed down.
06:11Yeah, it could pass down.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Um...
06:14With offspring, if it is an issue, we'll be able to recognize it.
06:17Because I've experienced it myself and...
06:19That's true.
06:20And we'll catch it early and it's not a problem.
06:23If we see them having trouble reading, we'll get special tutors or I'll teach them.
06:26And I think if we have more children, it'll be less chance.
06:29Diluted, huh?
06:30Yes, diluted.
06:31Diluted.
06:32Yeah.
06:33We might have one out of six.
06:34They think it was six?
06:35Yes.
06:36Okay.
06:37Wow.
06:38I'm glad Amber asked these questions because it shows me that...
06:41She's taking our relationship seriously and we're moving forward.
06:44I'm ready.
06:45Are you ready?
06:46Yeah.
06:47Let's go.
06:48Okay.
06:49And I also feel more hopeful now, having learned that she's not as conservative as most Singaporean women.
06:53I see it as maybe she'll be more willing to fast track so that I can go forth and meet her family to pass her mini-test.
07:01And she'll be confident and assured that I am everything that she wants, that she's everything that I want.
07:07And we can immediately have a family.
07:12Honestly, I wanted an excuse to hold your hand.
07:14You were sitting across from me too far.
07:15I could tell.
07:16I saw you walking to the room, there's nothing I can say.
07:21You picked me up, I'm running back to us, I'm here to stay.
07:25When you know I'll go away.
07:32Yum.
07:33I love a good matcha.
07:34I'm holding back, I want you now.
07:39I wonder if you know it.
07:47Coming!
07:48Hey, Dolly!
07:49Sorry, I'm in the process of putting my shoes on.
07:50Everything's on point.
07:51Okay.
07:52You are ready?
07:53Yeah.
07:54I will be once I put my other shoe on.
07:55My date with Sean a couple days ago.
07:56It was horrific.
07:57And I'm really wondering if Dolly, if we're on the same page.
08:01Sean asked me how many men I've slept with.
08:02He asked me, like, my body count.
08:03He said that?
08:04Yeah.
08:05He should not be talking about a lot of these things on a first date.
08:06When I first met him, he didn't express that he is wanting to find love.
08:24The compatibility there in terms of family, so I'm going to talk to him.
08:30I'm going to tell Sean that he has to be better.
08:33Hopefully, you can help him.
08:36Of course, I'm still annoyed.
08:37With Dolly, I don't have time to waste.
08:40So, I'm going on my third date in Singapore, and I'm really hoping the third time's a charm.
08:45But I'm skeptical because she told me we are going to the gym, and sweating on a first date is just not very cute.
08:54DJ!
08:55So, this is Sarah.
08:56Hi.
08:57I'm Sarah.
08:58Hi, Sarah.
08:59Great.
09:00We'll be going to my gym.
09:01Okay.
09:02And we'll be having a little bit of a workout.
09:03Okay.
09:04You cool that?
09:05Yeah, let's do it.
09:06EJ is Singaporean, but he's a mix of Portuguese, Malaysian, and Indian, and has a lot to offer Sarah.
09:15Have a great workout.
09:16Okay.
09:17And I'll check in with you guys after your date.
09:19Okay, great.
09:20Awesome.
09:21Thank you, Tom.
09:22All right, have fun.
09:24Sarah 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.
09:35He'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 tennis.
09:58All right.
10:00Wow.
10:01That's cool.
10:02So this is my gym.
10:04And 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.
10:22So, 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.
10:32I'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.
10:40So just have fun.
10:41Okay.
10:42Don't hit me, okay?
10:43Don't hit you?
10:44Don't hit me.
10:45I want to hit you.
10:46Okay.
10:47All right, shall we?
10:48Okay.
10:49My first impression of Sharon, I was like, okay, wow.
10:53The way she looks, she is sorry to say like bimboish.
10:58Maybe I just have to get to know her a little bit more.
11:00Okay, show the situation to the front.
11:03I wanted to do Muay Thai together with Sharon today.
11:05And I want to show her my gym.
11:07Because 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 you do in order to support you
11:20so that you can be better at what you do.
11:22And 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, jab, cross, left hook with a right front knee.
11:35Ready, go.
11:36Cross, left hook, right knee.
11:39Okay, nice.
11:40Nice.
11:41Okay, 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.
11:53Alright?
11:54Okay.
11:55So maybe me and he, we can do one round to show her.
11:58Okay, so from here, go.
12:00Alright.
12:03Alright.
12:04Okay.
12:05So that is the idea of the reaction drill.
12:07Okay, you're going to let me get you, right?
12:10Okay, ready?
12:11Three, two, one, go.
12:12I'm scared.
12:15Dolly is constantly telling me how I need to get out of my comfort zone.
12:19But 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.
12:36And I don't want EJ's first impression of me to be watching me flail around and look like an idiot.
12:43It is big.
12:47My hair is like whipping.
12:48Boobs bouncing.
12:50Yeah, it's so embarrassing.
12:53Hopefully this date gets better.
12:55If not, then I really need to consider finding a different matchmaker.
12:58All right.
13:03We're not done?
13:07So fill me in.
13:08What's been going on with you and Derrick?
13:10We got matching tattoos.
13:12Are those titties?
13:13Yes, they are.
13:15He got the same as acting.
13:17He's got titties on his cast?
13:19Mm-hmm.
13:29Hi.
13:30How are you?
13:31I'm fabulous.
13:32How are you?
13:33Good, thank you.
13:34Can I do two pints again?
13:35Two pints.
13:36Yes.
13:37Perfect.
13:43Excuse 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.
13:56Let me get you a coaster, though.
13:57Thanks.
13:59Cheers.
14:01Oriski even tells me to say, sloucha.
14:06I'm so happy that my two American clients, Amber and Victoria, became friends.
14:12So is this your first time in Dublin or Ireland?
14:14Yep.
14:15It is.
14:16It is.
14:17Oh, awesome.
14:18Yeah, exactly.
14:19Okay, so that took away a lot of nerves.
14:20Oh, yeah.
14:22Yeah.
14:23Okay, now I'm excited to have another newbie.
14:24Yes, yeah.
14:25At least we're in it together.
14:26At least we have each other.
14:28I think it's very important for Amber and Victoria to support one another and feel that they
14:33are not alone in their exciting adventure in Ireland.
14:36So fill me in.
14:37What's been going on with you and Derek?
14:39We got matching tattoos.
14:41No way.
14:43I gotta see this.
14:45Are those titties?
14:46Are these?
14:47Yes, they are.
14:49Yeah, so I still have to keep the thing on still.
14:51But like...
14:52That's so funny.
14:53Yeah.
14:54So it's like me and then like his style.
14:56The after girls looks like me every morning.
14:58I know.
14:59All right.
15:00I love it.
15:01I love it.
15:02He got the same exact thing.
15:03Yeah.
15:04He's 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.
15:15And the more I get to know Darren, the more I like him.
15:18I don't even remember the last time I had this feeling.
15:21And 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.
15:38Maybe you and Keevan?
15:39That'd be cute.
15:40But I don't know because...
15:41Would 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.
15:46Why?
15:47I haven't really been speaking to him that much.
15:50I think it's because I went on another date with someone else.
15:53That Mr. Ireland?
15:54I went on a date with Mr. Ireland.
15:56He was such a dreamboat and it sucks because everything that I was like questioning about
16:01Keevan are the things that he already has.
16:04It's easy for Glenn to be in the running right now because the communications with Keevan are
16:09slacking since he came to my hotel.
16:11Would you like to come in?
16:13Yeah.
16:14Thank you, Paul.
16:15Yeah.
16:16You're like my little heating blanket.
16:17Yeah.
16:18Oh my word.
16:19It 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
16:29get back home to Texas.
16:30And that really, really concerns me.
16:33I'm really annoyed and aggravated and disappointed in 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.
16:44What'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.
16:50Yeah.
16:51I don't want to question it.
16:53Not me getting teary.
16:54I'm such a baby.
16:56But I'm like...
16:57If you cry, I'll cry.
16:58I'm sorry.
16:59Let me hold it back.
17:00My 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 too?
17:09Do you think it would make a difference?
17:10I think so.
17:11Good.
17:12Yeah.
17:13Because 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?
17:26I'm good.
17:27I'm Irish.
17:28Do you want a Guinness?
17:29You know what?
17:30I said I wanted a margarita because I'm Texan.
17:31But I'm going to do another Guinness.
17:32Is that a Texan name?
17:33Yeah.
17:34It is.
17:35Okay, I'll go ahead.
17:38He looks nice.
17:39Yeah, he's super nice.
17:42Katarina 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.
18:00It sounds like stability.
18:03Two Guinness and an Irish margarita.
18:07That's a good one.
18:09So what have you done in Ireland?
18:10A lot of Irish things.
18:12I went to an alpaca farm.
18:14Okay.
18:15I went to a prison.
18:16In Cork.
18:17In Cork.
18:18Oh, so Spike Island.
18:19Yes.
18:20I visited someone's parents.
18:22Like someone you dated or you just met some random people's parents?
18:25No, someone that Katarina hooked me up with.
18:27So first date that you got introduced to the parents.
18:30I did.
18:31But have you time before you met them or that was like the first time?
18:33Like we went to the jail and then we went straight to the mom's house.
18:35Oh, my God.
18:39He's Mr. Ireland.
18:40Mr. Ireland?
18:41Oh, Jesus.
18:42Mr. Ireland, yes.
18:43Oh, Jesus.
18:44Funny.
18:45I'm kind of mad because I have high aspirations for me and Keevan's relationship.
18:49But he's timid.
18:52He's allowing another man that I just met and went on one date with to just swoop in and
18:58to woo me and to do all these things.
19:00And now here we are.
19:01But at the same time, our connection is undeniable.
19:05And 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.
19:16Do you know what's up?
19:18No, I don't.
19:21I couldn't ask for a better date right now.
19:24But, you know, I'll be honest, I still feel a tug towards Bernardo.
19:29All right.
19:30Do you live right now?
19:34For her, I think I need a different approach.
19:36I need a grand gesture and proposing is strong on my mind.
19:40Oh, wow.
19:42In Harold's case, Amber is definitely sensing his impatience.
19:46And that's not how it works in Singapore.
19:50Take a look.
19:59Mom, what are you doing?
20:02I'm doing your hard work.
20:03Mom, 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.
20:11I'm so happy for you.
20:13Thanks.
20:14Your love is what makes me feel alive.
20:18It's what brings me to you.
20:44When I was biased thinking about Bernardo, that wasn't fair.
20:48I think it's important for me to explore this connection with Bruno
20:51and a place that he's comfortable in,
20:53allows us to get a little bit deeper
20:55and really see if our values truly do align.
20:58Hey!
20:59Oh, you're cute.
21:01It's cute.
21:03It's cute, yes.
21:04Hi.
21:05Oh, it's been a long day.
21:07Oh, I'm tired.
21:09Oh, it looks so pretty.
21:12Oh, no.
21:14Aw.
21:15Welcome, my home.
21:16Oh, my gosh.
21:17Very nice house.
21:18Yeah, very nice house.
21:19Cute.
21:20Please welcome.
21:21I love it.
21:23And the kitchen, start the cooking.
21:25Oh, I love it.
21:26This is cute.
21:29Saude.
21:30Saude.
21:31Cheers.
21:32Yeah.
21:33Thank you for having me over.
21:35Another kiss.
21:37Monica, she's an incredible woman to see in the future,
21:45in the energy, in the histories, and the talking,
21:49and the kiss.
21:50Everything is very good.
21:52I love this, these moments with her,
21:55and I can, I need two more.
21:58Do you like cooking?
22:00I do like cooking.
22:02I prefer eating.
22:03How 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've been with Monica for the second time.
22:22And I went, oh, yeah.
22:23Aw.
22:24She is very happy.
22:25She's 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!
22:47It's good.
22:48He'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.
22:59So 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.
23:07Eight years?
23:08I had to work.
23:09It was like scraping by, scraping by.
23:12I can't 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, I 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.
23:33A simple life.
23:34Simple life.
23:35And 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.
23:50Yeah.
23:52You're perfect.
23:56You have been, have been best.
23:59All these things and you are here with me.
24:06You're beautiful.
24:07Yeah.
24:08You're incredible.
24:09Not just the same.
24:10Not just the same.
24:11Not just the same.
24:12Yeah.
24:13Yeah.
24:14Yeah.
24:15Yeah.
24:16Yeah.
24:17Do you know him with samba?
24:18No, I don't.
24:19I'm a professional now.
24:20Yeah.
24:21Yeah.
24:34Do you know him with samba?
24:35No, I don't.
24:39I'm a professional now.
24:43Yeah.
24:44Yeah.
24:45You're perfect.
24:46Don't say that.
24:47Mm.
24:48I'm not.
24:52Bruno, he is pretty much the man of my dreams.
24:59All right.
25:00I like.
25:01Do you live right now?
25:03Maybe in a few minutes.
25:04Okay.
25:05One more kiss.
25:06He cooks, cleans, he's smart.
25:11He's smart.
25:12That's like ideal in a relationship.
25:15All right.
25:16Good night.
25:17Mm.
25:18You know, I'll be honest.
25:19I still feel a tug toward Bernardo.
25:23And now that we're talking about him, I wonder how he's doing and I wonder what he's doing.
25:28And, uh, yeah.
25:32I am so torn.
25:34Okay.
25:35Okay.
25:36I will talk to you soon.
25:37Yeah.
25:38You can message me anytime, okay?
25:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:40Good night.
25:48Do you want a picture with the merline?
25:50Oh, definitely.
25:51Yeah.
25:52So there's this thing that they say the wider you open your mouth, the better luck you have.
25:57Oh, okay.
25:58Okay.
25:59Look up.
26:00This way.
26:01Wider!
26:02It has the head of a lion.
26:03Mm-hmm.
26:04And the body of a fish.
26:05Oh.
26:06All right.
26:07Because Singapore used to be a fishing village a long time ago.
26:08So this is a representation of what Singapore is about.
26:09Love it.
26:10On my date with Amber, we had an amazing boat ride.
26:11And she was able to point out the merlion and she pointed out numerous other spots.
26:16Did you have good weather like this?
26:17It was like this.
26:18But then with her, the sun opened up, the clouds parted and it was a wonderful day.
26:22What about the first kiss?
26:23Did you do it yet?
26:24Oh, good story.
26:25She started to lean in to give me a kiss on the cheek and I saw her moving in.
26:26I turned and caught her.
26:27From that she felt opened up and was comfortable to talk about sex.
26:28I was like, oh my.
26:29Oh my.
26:30Oh my.
26:31Oh my.
26:32Oh my.
26:33Oh my.
26:34Oh my.
26:35Oh my.
26:36Oh my.
26:37Oh my.
26:38Oh my.
26:39Oh my.
26:40Oh my.
26:41Oh my.
26:42Oh my.
26:43Oh my.
26:44Oh my.
26:45Oh my.
26:46Oh my.
26:47Oh my.
26:48Oh my.
26:49Oh my.
26:50Oh my.
26:51Oh my.
26:52Okay.
26:53I don't want to know too much.
26:54It's a private thing that she's sharing with you.
26:56She is something special.
26:59Proposing is strong on my mind.
27:02Oh wow.
27:03Oh, okay.
27:06As a matchmaker, it is challenging for me when two clients have different expectations when
27:11it comes to dating.
27:12And in Harold's case, Amber is definitely sensing his impatience.
27:16Harold makes me feel very special, but Harold's really here on a mission.
27:20To find a wife.
27:21And 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 leave someone who is not mature,
27:36then everything will just fall on me.
27:38And that will be tiring.
27:39Amber 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.
27:57That's not how it works in Singapore.
27:59We tend to take our time in any relationship.
28:01So 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.
28:15But I did check in with her after her date, and we have spoken about how that you are more
28:25sure 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, but it'll be hard.
28:42I 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.
28:51Michaela and I didn't solidify our relationship before I left Prague.
28:55So I feel that if I don't solidify the relationship with the label, it may not survive the time apart.
29:01So another thing, she 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.
29:18So for her, I think I need a different approach. I need another different grand gesture.
29:23But it doesn't have to be anything big. Could be a drawing.
29:28Maybe ask her to the United States to visit me.
29:30Something like that. And then she can meet my parents.
29:33Uh, I don't know about that.
29:37I don't feel it's really all that fair. Amber has been giving me mixed signals.
29:41She'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.
29:56I am more confused than ever.
29:58And 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.
30:20So all these tattoos that you have on your arms, like, are you tattered, like, everywhere?
30:24Yeah, fully.
30:25Oh, fully? Yeah.
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.
30:48So awkward.
30:50Best first date ever, no?
30:51Right?
30:52Okay, okay, okay.
30:53Stop.
30:55Okay, so I hope you all guys enjoy the training.
30:57Thank you, thank you, thank you.
30:58Yeah, thank you for your name.
31:00So, shall we go and have a drink of this and relax?
31:03Yeah.
31:06But before that...
31:10Aw, these are so beautiful.
31:14Thank you for being such a sport.
31:15That's so sweet.
31:16Aw.
31:17This was my favourite part of the day.
31:20Okay, anyway, I'm gonna go and get a change.
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.
31:35It was definitely a different experience.
31:37But I'm proud of myself for getting myself out of my comfort zone.
31:43And I'm happy that EJ, you know, kind of helped push me there.
31:46Yeah.
31:47Yeah.
31:52Gosh, this guy is so beautiful, right?
31:53Did you do this for me?
31:55I wish I had a direct line to go on.
31:57Right, me too.
31:58That would be interesting, right?
32:00So far, the date, I think, is 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.
32:19So where are you from?
32:20So I'm originally from here.
32:22Born and bred in Singapore.
32:23My mom is Portuguese.
32:25My dad's in here.
32:26Okay.
32:27Would you ever want to live anywhere else?
32:30I do want to live in Bali.
32:32I also want to expand my business over into Bali.
32:35Can I come?
32:36I'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.
32:47Cheers 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.
33:13Yeah.
33:14Okay.
33:16But yeah, I was extremely close to my dad.
33:19And after he passed, I guess my mom and I got even closer.
33:22So yeah, she's like my best friend now.
33:25Both 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.
33:36So 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?
33:48I 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.
34:12So I can relate a lot to this.
34:15So have you ever been married or close to being married?
34:19Yes, I was married about 13 years ago.
34:24Okay.
34:25Love at first sight.
34:26Oh yeah?
34:27I 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 in love again.
34:47And this is kind of embarrassing, but my dad is cremated and whenever I'm sad or like going through something,
34:54I always find myself like going over there and just, because it's really peaceful where he is.
35:00So I like sneak in at night and I lay on his little tombstone and I just like look at the stars and pray.
35:08Hearing her talk about how her father's ashes were split and when she feels that she needs answers, she goes there.
35:14It says a lot. It 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 about feelings and emotion and connection with family,
35:30then you realize there's so much more to her than just the outlook.
35:33And that's what's different.
35:35I'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?
35:52No, we're not in public.
35:53I'm shy.
35:54You're shy?
35:55Yes.
35:56Maybe we should go to Amishba 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.
36:03Yay!
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.
36:19What about your tattoos?
36:21I have a butterfly, which...
36:23Where's the butterfly?
36:24You don't need to know where they all are.
36:29Maybe 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.
36:40I'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?
37:10Do you want to go on now?
37:12I want you.
37:20I'm sitting on it, but it hurts.
37:24I 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. This is the speed of light.
37:40And I personally believe Glenn represents Amber's laugh-bombing past, and Keevan represents Amber's potential future.
37:51I have recently met Keevan for coffee, and he shared with me that he has very deep feelings for Amber.
37:57So 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.
38:14I'm about to go on an overnight day with Keevan, and I don't even know how I feel.
38:18Do you want to go on this, on this overnight with him?
38:20Like, at this point, I don't know what I want. I don't know. Everything is unclear.
38:30The 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.
38:42For me, if I know that someone is interested in me, I have to talk to them continuously. We 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.
38:56Have you texted Glenn since you saw him?
38:59Glenn has texted me every single day since I saw him. Like, he's been super persistent.
39:03And he's let me know, like, I want to get to know you. I want to, I want to pursue you.
39:10And 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?
39:17Like, where are you at? What guys are you dating? Like, he wants to be the number one guy.
39:25And 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. Like, it's my last week here.
39:37And it's just, it's a lot. It's way more than I thought that I would be feeling.
39:48Next time on Match Me Abroad.
39:51There you are. Thank you.
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. Ahoy, to the airport, please.
40:08What?
40:09I spoke to EJ earlier today.
40:14What did he have to say about that?
40:15Um, are you ready for it?
40:16Yeah.
40:17And also remember, I'm on your side.
40:19Okay, what are you going to tell me?
40:21The first impression that he had of you, um, was that, oh no, is she high maintenance?
40:29So 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, like the same like vibe.
40:38If you want to have real intimacy in your relationship, the next step naturally is physical connection.
40:44And can you imagine ever making love with him?
40:46So what you been doing since Thursday?
40:53I hadn't talked to you in so long.
40:55It'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.
