00:00So, here's one for the ladies.
00:04Happy Valentine!
00:07Having a partner during Valentine's Day is the best.
00:10I'm definitely an old romantic when it comes to Valentine.
00:13I feel so lucky to have found fruitcake
00:15and to finally marry her after all these years.
00:18And this is exactly what I want for our daters
00:21in the first date's restaurant.
00:23Merlin has prepared an incredible Valentine's Day cocktail.
00:26Well, we have a fuzzy feeling.
00:28Oh, fuzzy feeling inside.
00:30Yeah, here's the butterflies.
00:32My advice on Valentine's Day, go for it.
00:35Flowers, chocolate, kisses, do it all.
00:39Am I romantic at all?
00:41Probably.
00:44How do you know I'm flirting?
00:46A few comments, cheeky smile.
00:49Let's start this service. All right, let's go.
00:51Come on, let's go.
00:53I'm so excited.
00:58Online dating is like a sweet shop.
01:08Everybody always thinks there's a nicer suite.
01:11Looking to unwrap her love life is 55-year-old Andrea.
01:17So I have literally tried, I'm not saying every suite in the sweet shop, but I'm close to that.
01:27Everybody wants a life partner, a best friend, somebody to go on adventures with.
01:31So, I would like a partner to travel with.
01:35Now, I think now's the time.
01:38I mean, if I can't do it, you've got to be able to pull something out the back.
01:44Welcome. Thank you.
01:45Happy Valentine.
01:47You are bursting with colours.
01:50Shall I take your coat? Yeah, please.
01:51So, I've still got that glimmer.
01:54There is someone out there.
01:56But I have been looking for a needle in a haystack and I think I'm a bit done with it.
02:01What are you looking for?
02:02The male version of me.
02:04I want somebody who's got a zest for life, the life and soul of the party, but then,
02:08who's got a kind heart, empathetic.
02:10Right.
02:12So, what would attract me first?
02:14I'd say the banter more than anything.
02:17I'd have a cheeky sense of humour.
02:19I like quirky.
02:20I'd like someone who likes music.
02:23I miss, sort of, the Girls Alouda era.
02:25This one is for a cover from the Out of Control album, as any Alouda will tell you.
02:31Biology.
02:33What will the neighbours say?
02:35And finally,
02:37I'm just a love machine.
02:42For Valentine's Day, Patrick is hoping for something kinda ooh.
02:48So, what song to sum up Your Dark Life?
02:53I'm trying to think if there's a song called Non-existent.
02:57How are you, Patrick?
02:58Not bad. Pleased to meet you, thank you.
02:59Nice to meet you, too.
03:00So, where you come from, Patrick?
03:01I've come from Leeds.
03:02No women in Leeds?
03:04There are, just not the right one for me, apparently.
03:06Not the one for you?
03:07So, my friends and family, they'd probably describe me as a bit of an idiot, because I just live life to the full.
03:14And I'm always up for a laugh.
03:16I need somebody who can put up with my nonsense, because I never stop.
03:21And I'd like somebody who likes to travel the way I do.
03:25If they didn't laugh, and they were deadly serious, I don't think we'd get on.
03:29Hi.
03:32Pleased to meet you.
03:33Hello, I'm Patrick.
03:34I'm Andrea.
03:35Andrea, pleased to meet you.
03:36I think we've got matching glasses.
03:37Have we?
03:38Alright.
03:39These are new, actually, and I got them exactly the same pair they had before.
03:44What would you like?
03:45Could I have a pint of Guinness, please?
03:47A pint of Guinness, a whole pint.
03:48Why, coming up?
03:49This is just a starter.
03:50Are you nervous?
03:51If I said I wasn't, I'd be lying.
03:53Are you, yourself?
03:54No, I'm excited.
03:55Excited?
03:56I'm like, kid me, I've been buzzing, like, can't wait.
03:59I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been pacing the room.
04:03Nah, I've been, I've been alright.
04:04So where have you come down from?
04:06Erm, West Yorkshire.
04:08As have I, I've come from Leeds.
04:10Interesting.
04:11But I do like to travel, so...
04:12I love to travel.
04:13That's my, my thing is...
04:14Oh, we'll be talking about that then, travel.
04:18Are you quite a Valentine's-y person?
04:20I never used to be.
04:22Let that happiness out!
04:23I know, I know.
04:24I just, I know we're celebrating love, it's just, I just feel so happy.
04:30Alright, you party any mores?
04:31Yes.
04:32Right, let's go.
04:33Are you ready?
04:34Yes, we are.
04:35Come on, let's go.
04:36I need to give you a hug, just because I need you.
04:39Oh my God, just happy Valentine's Day!
04:44My best Valentine's Day was when I was about 21.
04:49He bought me roses and took me out for dinner.
04:55Oh yeah, it was lovely.
04:56It was really sweet.
04:58Well, I am going to be 50 this year, so I'm ready for the next one!
05:05Looking to fully book his love life is hairdresser Daniel.
05:10For years I've been telling all my, you know, like, my single clients and friends, like,
05:15get on the apps, go do it!
05:17And I've been on the apps and, no, no I can't, it's awful!
05:22What don't you like about the apps?
05:24People that are liking you, I'm like, oh no, that's not what I was thinking.
05:27I was thinking, I was thinking more like George Clooney, Brad Pitt vibes.
05:33Not Norman, soon to be retired.
05:38God, I am here to find the love of my life.
05:43And I think I need some help.
05:45Oh, it's hard out there.
05:48It's very hard.
05:49It's a bit deserty.
05:53How are you?
05:54Très bien, merci!
05:55Nice to see you.
05:56Nice to see you today.
05:57Nice to see you there.
05:58You all right?
05:59Yeah, really good, thank you.
06:00I know that person.
06:01You know him?
06:02Not personally, but that's the gazer from Gogglebox.
06:04You think that's the guy from Gogglebox?
06:05Yeah, that's him.
06:06When you go on the apps, no one ever says anything about Gogglebox.
06:09People recognize the poodles, I tell you what, more than they recognize me ever.
06:13What's happening in your life?
06:14Ah, I need to find a date.
06:15No one's slipping into my DMs.
06:18Never.
06:19And it's Valentine, so if it doesn't happen today, it's never gonna happen.
06:22I have been single for about ten months.
06:27In the summer, I did have a little bit of dating frenzy.
06:30I went on, I think in one month, about 17 dates.
06:33Why didn't any of those 17 dates work out?
06:36I don't know why they didn't work out.
06:38What's wrong with me?
06:39There you go.
06:40Oh, lovely.
06:42Pleasure.
06:43What sort of person do you want to meet today?
06:44Oh, funny.
06:45Kind.
06:46Kind.
06:47Always.
06:48That's very important.
06:49I'm looking for someone fit, healthy, with hair.
06:53Come on, bring out the gingers.
06:57Hello.
06:59I don't know what to say now.
07:00Here to rescue Daniel's love life is 48-year-old paramedic, Simon.
07:09The elderly females like to get a little bit handsy with us paramedics.
07:12Bless them.
07:14Yeah, they do tend to crab you.
07:16When I was dating, many minutes ago, people used to put stuff in a newspaper ad.
07:23What are your flirting skills like?
07:26I don't know if I can flirt.
07:27I'm not even sure I can.
07:28So, I'm not sure.
07:31You'll have to find out.
07:38Good afternoon, Simon.
07:39Nice to meet you.
07:40You too.
07:41What, are you going to the gym?
07:42Every now and again.
07:43It's good.
07:44It suits you.
07:45I come off all the dating apps and I want to find someone authentically.
07:49I like someone who looks after themselves.
07:51Dark hair.
07:53Someone who likes to have a laugh.
07:55There we are.
07:56Hi.
07:57Hiya.
07:58Hiya.
07:59How are you going?
08:00Daniel.
08:01Nice to meet you, Simon.
08:02Have you been here long?
08:04About that long.
08:06Hello.
08:07How are you?
08:08I'm good, thank you.
08:09Would you like a drink?
08:10Pink gin and lemonade, please.
08:11Ooh.
08:13Enough gin.
08:14Have you come far?
08:15I have come out from Bryson.
08:17I am in New Haven.
08:19Oh, yeah.
08:20Yeah, yeah.
08:21Literally like 20 minutes, like looking 20 minutes.
08:22Yeah.
08:23So, not far at all.
08:24Not quite what you asked for, but that will hold you for now, so you can just know a little
08:26close, because I'm having a few issues with the machinery, I'm afraid.
08:28That's all right.
08:29No, thank you.
08:30Do you like champagne?
08:31No.
08:32Hey, baby.
08:33Hey.
08:34Happy Valentine's.
08:35Yes, happy Valentine's Day.
08:36I wish she was here.
08:37Oh, me too.
08:38But listen, what I was thinking is, why don't you come and see me and maybe we can have dinner
08:40here, in the restaurant.
08:41That would be amazing.
08:42All right, listen, have a nice day.
08:43I will.
08:44Bye.
08:45Ciao, my love.
08:46Ciao.

09:26you look very good i mean people at work because i change who i work with all the time
09:31they are shocked and i think i don't just think it's the way i look i think it's your outlook on
09:36life i think live life to the full this is why we match them because my job makes me appreciate
09:42that so my job i work for just children's critical care ambulance service i'm a call handler what you
09:47hear on those calls of literally a child that is healthy one minute and not healthy the next minute
09:55the job i do now is actual life and death and it's like balancing templates at once sometimes
10:04one of the hardest parts of my job is when we hear that that child hasn't made it
10:09there's cases that do affect you like this one case that stays with more than anything and it
10:16was a little boy he was 11 and he was obsessed with football and he just collapsed and died on that
10:22football pitch my son was obsessed with football and i think to myself that could have been my son
10:28i couldn't do that job i'd spend the whole day crying we deal with it we talk to each other about
10:41it yeah i get i get that what do i miss about being in relationship i'd say coming home from a hard
10:49shift just sharing and talking over that experience with somebody so travel's a massive vice that's
10:58what i've spent the majority of my money on in my whole life kind of this moment when i was 40
11:03that i'm going to visit every country in europe before the day i die wow so every day is your last day
11:08yep i asked for the male version of me do you know what i think they've delivered it you know what though

12:50ex and i felt really old how long were you together for 22 years wow yeah such a long time yeah married
12:59as well yeah so i've got two children yeah well say children they're 26 and 25 so i had them with my
13:07ex-girlfriend wow yeah i when i was 18 um my parents found out that i was gay and i remember saying to my
13:19dad i don't want to be put in a box i didn't want to go through this life and not have children
13:24i was 22 when my son was born and then when he was three months old surprise surprise she got pregnant
13:30my daughter just didn't want to raise the children with with arguments so um and yeah it took a lot of
13:36soul searching and we eventually ended our relationship when you come out to her what was
13:42what was she like interestingly we met in a gay pub so we have a jerry springer really i met my ex-husband
13:51in the same pub oh wow yeah they know each other as well so there was no competition but it's not like
13:57i was going with another one yeah we was always putting the children first they were one and two so
14:03they've known no difference so to them they had two dads and a mum i've only had two really long
14:09relationships you know you get to kind of our age now single and i wasn't expecting that and you
14:14know it's yeah it's taken some time how long have you been single for about two years now me and my
14:19ex-husband concentrated on raising a family and then you kind of sit back and go actually where
14:24where are we now where do we find us um and i think we just became different people i've been
14:30out of the dating scene for a long long time so then to come back into it i was like this is just
14:36like so different it's so different you know i don't want to be on my own i want to find that person
14:43that i can say that's home i love kids i've got three grandchildren as well so yeah granddad should i call
14:53your grandpa so he is literally the male version of me as in he's got a son the same age he loves
15:06traveling he's from leeds but he likes girls allowed hello um i thought i just popped my head in about the
15:17food yes um i'll read the burger that you've ordered within the marinade there is garlic
15:24i just thought i'd check with you just a salad it's absolute salad yeah i'm so sorry about that
15:28thank you so much thank you it's not your day oh dear
15:36i've got a bit of a question for you actually right um i was going to ask could i sing a song
15:40because it's valentine's day and all that and i think it's very special yeah play something romantic
15:44okay i've got to think about it i'll leave it to you so i've just rang my friend because she said
15:50ring me when you're in the toilet so i said he's lovely he is like the male version of me but he likes
15:58girls allowed what did she say that one did she say so lamboyant then she said
16:08a lot of people think i am gay i think because some of my taste in music
16:13i love girls allowed and as a middle-aged straight man it's the most ridiculous thing ever however
16:22when my marriage broke down it wasn't a happy marriage it was around the time girls allowed
16:26reform so there are certain songs that put me at certain parts of my life so i always remember being
16:34on holiday my first holiday with the kids on my own and no good advice was played always remember that
16:39they just put me in a place of happiness that i can't rationally explain i'd like to think when
16:46somebody meets me they're going to like me and judge me for who i am i always say i'm a good catch
16:54i just haven't been caught who do you think my celebrity crush was um was it ken bahallo from
17:02what an agency i don't know who was your celebrity crush kylie minogue straight away
17:11i've got kylie minogue k on my arm there a kylie minogue tattoo why you like that
17:22so ifa valentine's day last year you were single but now you're in a relationship tell me how is it
17:28different being in a relationship on valentine's day love is just i think valentine's day reflects
17:34that yeah because it gives an excuse to like celebrate what you have yeah do you know what i mean

23:02think we've got more to talk about not putting out though i think we're very similar we don't stop

23:19somewhere else yeah yeah sun's out right i believe there might be a karaoke bar where i could sing you

25:00box yeah i was in google box oh with my ex
25:10we were the guys with the poodles sitting on the couch okay i was married um up to last year okay
25:18we were together for 12 years okay when you break up with someone especially if you've been married
25:26and you've given your heart to it it's very yeah it's very upsetting and it was upsetting
25:32i definitely felt like i was grieving for a good six months it was very hard to get over it
25:40for me like if you're going to get married you think you're going to be together forever
25:45you know your heart is stuck on that so when you separate
25:49it's very hard to get out of that funk and it was hard to get out of that funk
25:55i want to build a new future being in relationship with someone else just ready for that new love
