00:00There are millions of us looking for that special someone.
00:04Hello, everybody.
00:06I'm only talking to the hot sexy men right now.
00:08I would like to be painted naked and taken pictures of.
00:14But modern dating can be complicated.
00:18Wow, this is the really hard bit.
00:21You need a spark, you need to fancy each other.
00:24The ideal relationship is where we can just have a laugh together,
00:28have a few dates and then the jiggy-jiggy comes after.
00:32Perfection would be great, but I'll just settle for fantastic.
00:38This summer...
00:38Here for a date with Faye.
00:40There's a restaurant with a difference.
00:42I'm gonna be your mystery man for tonight.
00:44You look lovely.
00:46Everyone in it will be single and on a real first date.
00:49It's the most adorable thing I think a man's ever done.
00:52Cameras will catch every moment in the search for love.
00:56Do you see me and you actually going out?
00:59I was in a porn film.
01:01Does that mean you got a big one?
01:03We know this is a bad idea.
01:05This little thing's probably a bad idea.
01:08Take my arm.
01:09Will any of these first dates...
01:11Take care of yourself.
01:12..lead to a second?
01:14What's that with you?
01:16At first it was a bit awkward.
01:18I definitely see him again, definitely, definitely.
01:20He was a really nice man.
01:22And will anyone find their perfect match?
01:26I think you're lovely as a person,
01:27and I don't think there's anything wrong with me.
01:30One kiss.
01:31Oh!
01:45Good evening.
01:46What?
01:47Every week, this restaurant is full of hopeful singles.
01:50Here we go.
01:51All looking for love.
01:55Hello again.
01:56Faye's date last week didn't turn out to be the man of her dreams.
02:00But after seeing her on the programme,
02:02over a thousand men applied to date her.
02:05I don't like this being the first one here.
02:09Tonight she's back and waiting to meet the man she chose.
02:13He's a handsome young man.
02:16Wish me luck.
02:18Like Faye, all the first daters have to go on
02:21is their partner's name and what they look like in a photo.
02:24The minute you first see someone, you look at what they're wearing
02:26and you do make a judgement on what they look like.
02:30But I just think, be a little bit open-minded.
02:32You're probably never going to see him again, so...
02:35Fuck it.
02:36You and I, we're beautiful like diamonds in the sky.
02:52Hi there, how are you?
02:53I'm fine, how are you doing?
02:55Property manager Rajan is arriving for his first date.
02:59Do you want to leave your jackets on the clock room?
03:01Yeah, yeah, that'd be great, yeah, thank you very much.
03:03Cheers.
03:05He's here to meet 28-year-old Amanda.
03:14Aw, yeah.
03:15Well, thank you very much, thank you.
03:16My strategy for dating success is very simple.
03:21And if you, as a guy, employ my strategy,
03:25you'll be guaranteed to get the go.
03:28Hey, hey, hey.
03:29Hello.
03:30You all right, how are you?
03:31I'm all right, nice to see you.
03:32Nice to meet you too.
03:33Just to let you know I'm going to be your mystery man for tonight.
03:36The strategy is...
03:39to be yourself.
03:43Can I get a double vodka and Sprite?
03:46Huh?
03:47Double?
03:51It's so beautiful that I've got to overdo on the alcohol.
03:58Tell me a bit about you, are you from London or...?
04:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:01OK, and like, what do you do for a living?
04:04Well, during the week I work as a nanny.
04:06That's cute, yeah.
04:06And then I'm an event host and a radio producer.
04:09Oh, like an emcee, a master of ceremony.
04:11Yeah, kind of.
04:12Yeah, wow, OK.
04:14Yeah.
04:14Wow, wow, that's nice.
04:17You're obviously a beautiful girl, like, when you go out club.
04:20Oh, thank you.
04:20Yeah, no, when you go out clubbing a lot,
04:21you must get a lot of guy attention, right?
04:23Not really.
04:23Oh, you don't?
04:24No.
04:25That surprises me.
04:26If I saw you in the club, I'd be like, hi, how are you doing?
04:28Aw, that's nice.
04:31Yeah.
04:34I've only ever had one boyfriend in my life.
04:36OK.
04:36How long was that relationship with?
04:38It was for a year.
04:39OK.
04:39And I decided to, um, end it.
04:43So if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been single for?
04:46Um, uh, three years.
04:49Wow, wow.
04:50On Facebook, right, my relationship status has always been single.
04:56That shit needs to change.
04:58Thank you very much.
05:0262-year-old Eastander, Linda, is the first to arrive for her date.
05:07I'll have a brandy lemonade.
05:08Lovely.
05:09In a long glass.
05:10Well, I've been on plenty of dates, and I haven't actually had that feeling that's here, that you feel, ah,
05:21I've gone all goosey.
05:23So, if it hasn't come, then I'll find it.
05:27Hello.
05:28How's it going?
05:28I'm Tony.
05:3157-year-old Tony is the next candidate for Linda's heart.
05:38Hello.
05:38Hello.
05:39How are you?
05:40Oh.
05:42How are you?
05:42You know me, mate.
05:43Yeah, yeah.
05:46Can I just a glass of water, please?
05:48Still water, please?
05:49Still water, please?
05:49Yeah, just still water, please.
05:52So...
05:52You look nice.
05:54Yeah.
05:54Nice dress, isn't it?
05:56I thought I'd wear something posh, because I'm coming to a posh restaurant.
06:01Your expressive eyes, and that little smile of yours really caught my eye, and I thought, I'm going to apply
06:06it.
06:06I'm going to go on and see if I can meet this lady and see how we go on.
06:11Ooh.
06:13I don't want to spend the rest of my life on my own.
06:15I think Linda's looking for that as well.
06:18The way I interpreted her profile, that she's looking for something long-term.
06:24Well, all I know about you is your photographer and your age.
06:28We're not 62, really.
06:29You can tell me the truth now.
06:31You're younger than that, aren't you?
06:34If you want me to be, I will, but I ain't.
06:37I do get a lot of offers from 30-year-olds and 20s.
06:43So...
06:44But there's no point.
06:46There's no point me even thinking about going out with someone of that age.
06:51Why haven't you got your braces on and your waistcoat?
06:54Ah!
06:56I can't...I can't, Mum.
06:58You've done something.
06:59I've done something.
07:04I've done something.
07:04Is the chair meant to be this bouncy?
07:07No!
07:07This is what I pictured Heaven to be like.
07:09Like...
07:10You just come in and it shows you to, like, your beard.
07:18What's your plans for the rest of the weekend?
07:20Rest of the weekend?
07:20Will you take me on that quickly?
07:23Oh, you're a bit quick, aren't you?
07:24No.
07:26The moment I'm trying to finish off my album,
07:29I'll just write more songs.
07:30You make music? Yeah. What kind of music?
07:31Oh, I'm being hip-hop. Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:34All right, so some of the verse?
07:36I'm breaking up with me every single night.
07:39We get back together, but it turns into a fight
07:41And it turns into who's right. I give you some space
07:43But then you're saying being with me was a mistake
07:45You wanted your mum, I seen the eyes that you make
07:47You tell her lies, giving her the wrong slice of the cake
07:49Like, one of my favourite rappers of all time
07:51In one of his songs, he said this line
07:53I'd rather be a lion that lives for a day
07:56Than to be a lamb that lives forever
07:58When you're the one that's messing around
08:00It's like you bury me
08:01You can't live your whole life scared like a lamb
08:03You know? That's why I think lions are great
08:05Why do I do this? Why am I living so ruthless?
08:07Why can't I leave a daughter alone and live a life just less foolish?
08:10OK, OK.
08:11Do you like that? Yeah.
08:14Did that blow you away?
08:15Enough food to give me a number at this precise moment.
08:19OK, tell me what are your biggest turn offs in a date?
08:23What do guys do that really annoy you or turn you off like that?
08:26What are those things?
08:26Like that? OK.
08:27Um, someone that raps
08:30Someone that says, oh wow
08:31Oh wow
08:32Oh wow
08:33Oh wow
08:40When was the last time you were set?
08:42The last time I was set?
08:43Yeah
08:46Like
08:48Anything goes to the back of my throat and I won't be sick
08:51Like, not in a sexual way but just in a
08:54Just in an anything way, like literally I just cannot gag like
08:58I just can't do it
09:00I can't do it
09:01I can't do it
09:02I just can't be sick
09:04I love dancing
09:06Do you dance?
09:08You do?
09:09I just like to do modern, you know, the charts
09:14Salsa
09:15Ciroc
09:16Jiva
09:17I can jive
09:18I used to go dancing a lot
09:20So I
09:22I still do
09:23I can do the splits still
09:27I'm going
09:28I'm going
09:28I'm going
09:38I'm going
09:38Well I've got one thing to tell you about me
09:41This will make or break
09:42Whether you
09:43I'm sorry, what is it?
09:47Many, many years ago
09:49A good
09:5115 odd years ago
09:53I was in a porn film
09:59Does that mean you had a big, you got a big one?
10:03They asked me that
10:04Well you have to have a big one to do that sort of work
10:07Halfway through the filming I lost it
10:09Completely lost it
10:11What, it went floppy?
10:13They stopped filming
10:14They leave you alone with the model you're with
10:16And you tell her what you're like, she gets you going again
10:19They come back and start filming
10:21Anyway, I managed to manage that and I finished
10:23So how many did you do?
10:26I only made the one film
10:28And it was called
10:29The Ministry of Sex
10:31The General Erection
10:34I'm going to go now I suppose
10:36All right
10:37I need to go
10:38To the toilet
10:47Hello
10:48Is it going in?
10:49Yeah, it's all right
10:50It's a nice place
10:51Aw
10:51I saw you on before
10:53When we were waiting outside
10:55I saw we had got anything pretty sweet
10:57But he lives about a quarter of an hour from me
10:59Oh, well that's quite handy
11:01If you want to see him again
11:08In the first date's restaurant
11:11Amanda and Rajan are 40 minutes into their date
11:14Oh, thank you
11:17I just wanted to know
11:17Do you actually want to order?
11:19Because if you don't want to order food
11:19Then I don't want to order food
11:20No, I'm going to order
11:22I just need
11:22It's like for me
11:23I just feel like nothing's saying
11:25Amanda, get me
11:26Like, do you know what I mean?
11:27Okay, well what do you fancy?
11:29I don't know
11:29She fancy's me
11:30She wishes I was on the menu
11:32Well, that's the kind of conversation
11:33That I'm going to let you guys hear
11:35Yeah, honey, I'm not on the menu
11:37I'm sorry
11:37I'm not on the menu
11:38I'm sorry
11:39Did you want anything to start
11:41Or are you going to go straight for the mains?
11:42That's just, yeah
11:43I got my starter right here
11:44Okay, lovely
11:44I'll let you enjoy your starter
11:46So, er
11:49Yes, please
11:50Thank you
11:51Wait, did you live with your parents
11:53Or do you live with your...
11:53Would you by yourself?
11:54By myself
11:55Oh, cool
11:58Like a one bedroom flat or an apartment
12:00Yeah
12:00One possible
12:01So, do you live on your...
12:02I live with my parents
12:04When did you move out?
12:06Erm
12:08When I was like 14
12:12Didn't have a good childhood
12:14I have been through the mill
12:18Erm
12:22I was at the stage where I came to my teacher
12:24And just said to him
12:25That you just need to help me out
12:27Because I think
12:28If I stay in the environment that I'm in
12:31I'm just going to end up dead
12:34I have a lot of love to give
12:38In terms of having children and stuff
12:40You know, I feel
12:41I...
12:41You know, I kind of want to give
12:43My children what I never had
12:45Which is love
12:48In your opinion, like
12:49How do you think the state's going so far?
12:52Do you think it's going good?
12:55You wouldn't say it's a disaster, right?
12:58You wouldn't say it's a disaster, right?
13:08So what's your favourite book?
13:11My favourite book?
13:12Yeah
13:12Harry Potter
13:16Really?
13:18Fucking Harry Potter
13:2927-year-old Chris
13:3027-year-old Chris
13:31A contractor from South Wales
13:32Has high hopes for his first date
13:36Here we go
13:37Thank you
13:41He's never been in a serious relationship
13:46I think people have judged me a bit too quick in the past
13:49Especially with like the geekiness
13:51It can be a put... you know, put off
13:53You know, for some
14:01I've not found that person that says
14:03Chris, you're with me
14:05And you want me with you
14:08And we're going ahead
14:10And we're... this is life for us now
14:12You know, take my hand
14:14Let's go on an adventure together
14:30Hello, I'm... I'm Grace
14:32Your name is Grace?
14:33Yes
14:35Grace is a 21-year-old trainee teacher
14:38She's been single for a year
14:46Hello
14:47How are you, Grace?
14:47Nice to meet you
14:48Nice to meet you
14:49Are you all right?
14:50All right, thank you
14:50You've been waiting long?
14:51Oh, thank you
14:52No, no, no, not too long
14:53Oh, that's all right then
14:56Browsing the menu
14:58Right
14:58Right
14:58Let's think
15:01I'll tell you what, though
15:02Before anything else
15:03Okay
15:04I've been a bit, like, naughty
15:06Naughty?
15:07I've brought you a little present
15:07Not something really naughty, is it?
15:09No, no, no
15:10You can get it out in public, that's fine
15:12Oh, okay, that's good
15:12My mum and dad aren't going to, er, disapprove
15:16No, no
15:16That's something you could take on
15:18Oh, it's a sweetest thing
15:19Just, like, a little box of chocolate, eh?
15:21That's the most adorable thing, I think, a man's ever done
15:26Men never want me to be, like, their girlfriend
15:28They want me to be their friend
15:30Or the other end of the scale
15:32There's never, like, a nice, kind of, level in the middle
15:35They're very fancy chocolates as well
15:36They are, yes
15:37They're not, like, 30p Tesco chocolate
15:40No, no, no
15:41There's a lot of effort
15:42We don't have to buy desert
15:44Is that the plan?
15:45No, no, no, no
15:47No, no, no, no, no
16:06I wasn't made in Dagenham, I was made in Bethlehem Green.
16:12I've had two marriages, I met my second husband
16:17and we'd been together 27 years.
16:21He had prostate cancer, so for five years,
16:24he was okay with it, but it just sort of deteriorated.
16:29Then when he finally died, it was very, very hard.
16:34Your memories never go.
16:37But I thought, he knows that I'm not a person
16:42for sort of, like, just staying in.
16:46I said, right, I've got to do something now.
16:50So, what are you doing with this photography now?
16:52What do you take photos of?
16:55Weddings and portrait is the core business.
16:57Not nude people.
16:58Pardon me?
16:59Did you say nude?
17:00Nudes!
17:03I'm going to take your photograph later.
17:04No, you ain't taking me in a nude.
17:06No, not in a nude.
17:10Look.
17:11Oh, yeah.
17:13Oh, look.
17:16What's that with you?
17:17He was a really nice man, but then there's lots of nice men
17:22for the character and personality.
17:25It's just the attraction there.
17:30She's got a really, really cute face.
17:32She really has.
17:33It really is cute.
17:36It's made me melt.
17:39Come on, then.
17:40If she ever had me out on another date, I'd say,
17:42yes, let's go.
17:43Let's go for it.
17:44Would you like to see each other again?
17:45I...
17:46I'm...
17:47I'm not...
17:48I'm not 100% sure at the moment.
17:52Right, OK.
17:52So I've just said I will have to think about it a bit longer.
17:58OK, yeah.
17:59So...
18:01Let's, um...
18:02Let's sort of, like, leave it as it is.
18:05Yep, that's fine.
18:06And not make any future dates, so...
18:10Linda's decided against a second date with Tony.
18:13Thank you very much.
18:15So they're both still looking for love.
18:21Yeah, so, have you got any tattoos?
18:23Yes.
18:24What have you got?
18:25And the way you said it,
18:26it looked like you put it on your vaginas.
18:3326-year-old Shifra works in recruitment.
18:36She recently moved to London from Dublin.
18:39Hello there, madam.
18:40Hi, how are you?
18:41Very well, thanks.
18:42Good, good.
18:42Good stuff.
18:43Can I get a nice drink to start off with?
18:45Uh, could I get a live road, thank you?
18:48You know the guys who are players,
18:50they think they're the big man on campus.
18:52I mean, they're fun to flirt with and everything, but...
18:56I don't know, I wouldn't necessarily be attracted to a guy
18:58who thought he was the bee's knees.
19:04Good afternoon.
19:05How are you?
19:06Are you okay?
19:06Good, thanks.
19:07What's your name, sir?
19:10Shifra's date is 22-year-old Stefan Pierre from London.
19:15Hello.
19:16How are you doing?
19:17You alright?
19:17How are you?
19:17Sorry, nice to meet you.
19:19What?
19:20You good?
19:20Good, good.
19:22Thank you, cheers.
19:23You look rather daffo.
19:24Thank you, you look nice.
19:25Enjoy your lunch.
19:25Thanks.
19:26Thank you all day.
19:27Is that your first day jacket?
19:31So what do you do?
19:32I'm a model.
19:33Oh, okay.
19:36Because of my job, people automatically think I should be going to have a model.
19:39And that's the problem I've had.
19:41And when I go clubbing, I attract the complete wrong girls.
19:48You're buttering my bread.
19:50How's that?
19:52Perfect, perfect.
19:54Cheers.
19:55I can't say I don't look after you.
19:58I always try and help people if I can anyway.
20:01That's quite natural, that's the way I've been brought up.
20:02My dad wasn't around.
20:05My mum's taught me everything.
20:07She's wicked and we're really close.
20:09And I think it's very important that my mum likes my girlfriend.
20:12Oh, do you still live at home?
20:13Yeah.
20:14Oh, you're mummy's boy.
20:16I could have moved out, but I like being home.
20:19Because you're taking care of?
20:20Not really.
20:21I have to wash my own clothes and iron it.
20:23Stop, are you okay?
20:34Yeah.
20:34Please, I'm quite...
20:35Are you working again?
20:36Yeah, it's the drink.
20:37Why are you so guessing?
20:39I just...
20:39I can smell that one.
20:41I don't know.
20:44So, do you like dancing?
20:46I just like having a couple of drinks, chilling with my friends.
20:49So, you don't dance when you go out?
20:50No.
20:50No.
20:50No?
20:51I don't dance, no.
20:53We don't what?
20:53Don't look like Justin Timberlake.
20:54I can't dance.
20:56Are you serious?
20:57I can't dance.
20:57So, wait, hold on a second.
20:59So, when you go out to a club, you don't dance?
21:04I don't, I don't, I don't dance.
21:07Like, the way that someone dance determines how good they are in bed.
21:13I don't dance.
21:15So, right, so, you see when you was in a relationship, did you ever go clubbing with your girlfriend?
21:20Yeah.
21:21So, you don't, you didn't dance with her?
21:23No, no.
21:24Are you talking about grinding?
21:25Yeah.
21:27Is that what you're talking about?
21:29You're talking about grinding, right?
21:31Yeah, no, we grinded and stuff, but do you consider that dancing?
21:35Do you consider grinding dancing?
21:39Yeah, obviously.
21:39But you don't grind, you're just basically having sex on the doors floor.
21:44But you're not actually having sex.
21:46Yeah, but you're rubbing the parts.
21:50I'm just going to go to the loo, is that all right?
21:52That's fine.
21:52Yeah?
21:52Yeah.
22:15That's good, man.
22:22You can mess with my family, you can mess with my money, you can mess with my girlfriend, or whatever
22:26you do, don't mess with my chicken.
22:30The First Dates restaurant is full of hopeful singles.
22:43Let me give you a little picture, okay?
22:45Say me and you hypothetically become together, hypothetically, okay?
22:49And I treat you nice, I'm faithful, I'm trustworthy, I'm a good person, but I don't dance.
22:55But I treat you like a woman, I treat you like a queen, I do a lot for you, and
22:58I'm caring, but I don't dance.
23:00Does that mean that you still wouldn't be with me?
23:04And honestly answer this question.
23:06Well, I don't, like, what do you mean?
23:08Please just answer it, answer it honestly.
23:10Because the answer to this question, the Frenchie's when I take the next bite out of this chicken or not.
23:17And wait, oh, we might need the bill.
23:21Because I don't dance, we might need the bill.
23:24Like, I might treat her like a queen, I might be caring, I might treat her like a princess, I
23:27might look after her, I might be honest, I might be faithful.
23:30I might be the most caring person in the world, but according to her, if I don't dance, she don't
23:35want to be with me.
23:37So if you could do me a favor, just tell the waiter to get the bill, please.
23:43She's a very lovely lady, she's very gorgeous, got a lovely personality, but some parts of the day I didn't
23:49really agree with what she said, especially with the dancing part.
23:53Someone save me now.
23:57There's nothing wrong with you, I think you're beautiful as a person, I think you're lovely as a person, and
24:01I don't think there's anything wrong with me, but I just think that in terms of compatibility, it just wasn't
24:05there.
24:05I think it's great because it just shows that two people can get on, even though there's no chemistry, you
24:11know?
24:11OK.
24:12Yeah.
24:12This could be your next day, you don't know, take an opportunity.
24:16OK.
24:19It's Roger, you're not a single, right?
24:21No.
24:22There you are.
24:23Unfortunately.
24:23I'm sorry.
24:24I don't think we're seriously discussing about a love life, I can find someone by myself.
24:29I don't need you to help me, OK?
24:30I can do it myself.
24:31OK, all right.
24:32Wow.
24:34You don't know anyone like a poor, do you?
24:37You was kind of a bit much for me, if that makes sense.
24:40OK.
24:43That feeling is mutual.
24:44Oh, I was a bit much for you?
24:46OK.
24:47I'm glad this is...
24:49We both thought that.
24:50Oh, OK.
24:52Oh, my God.
24:54See you later.
24:56My man.
24:59Oh, bless you, Roger, and take care of yourself.
25:03Oh, God.
25:04Why don't you believe me?
25:05Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:11But ladies out there, you will never be too much for me.
25:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:16Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:26You're always starting, like, normally holding either one hand or the other.
25:31I mean, it's dark. You can't really see what anyone looks like. What's the point?
25:34Like, jockeying for physician and stuff, and that's when you get, like, quite a closeness.
25:39Is that not normal?
25:42To be honest, like, in terms of, like, relationship-wise, I wouldn't say I've had bad luck.
25:48I've just not really met.
25:51Is that because you're fussy?
25:52I think everybody has their type, doesn't it?
25:56What would be your type?
25:57In all honesty, a bit, like, don't get freaked out, a bit like you.
26:01You know, I mean, like, in terms of, you know, you're not afraid to kind of be quite open and
26:07honest, like, you know.
26:11Like, what about you?
26:13I like geeky men.
26:15But I'm not sure, like, personality-wise.
26:18Like, someone that won't, like, let them walk all over them.
26:21But, like, um, someone who keeps me in my place.
26:27Great.
26:28Um, I'm all right, thank you, and I made me very nice.
26:30Go on another drink, like, have another drink.
26:32Yeah, but they're a lot of money.
26:33Right, so I'm putting you in your place, yeah.
26:39Have another drink.
26:40You're very demanding for a first date, aren't you?
26:42I haven't even begun to demand yet.
26:44Great.
26:47I would say I can be quite a naughty boy, if we could put it like that.
26:53Should we say a bit of lust, perhaps, and passion?
26:56You know, sometimes you do want to express yourself in a more sort of physical, sexual sort of way.
27:05Half of them I haven't heard of.
27:06It's not quite like sex on the beach, is it?
27:08Or some I normally have.
27:09Yeah.
27:19How could you think you are in bed?
27:23All right, I'll be honest, I'll say a really good seven.
27:28What is it based upon?
27:31Mainly based on something in particular.
27:35Okay.
27:37Certain features, shall we say.
27:39How can I put this without something too, like, graphic?
27:43I can handle graphic, don't worry.
27:45I've had a lot of...
27:51Compliments, shall we say.
27:55There's been more than enough smiles walking out of that room at the end of it all, so...
28:02Yeah.
28:05The bedroom?
28:05The bedroom, yeah.
28:07Or any other part of the house, really.
28:23Do you want another bottle?
28:25Sure.
28:26There you go.
28:27I feel like it was left to me.
28:29Stefan Pierre and Shifra have been together an hour.
28:33Cheers.
28:34Oh, you're so good.
28:36What's that?
28:37I just want to him.
28:39You know, you can be attracted, physically attracted to someone, but it's not like you're going to stay talking to
28:44them if they've nothing to offer.
28:45You kind of want someone who's just, who's always kind of striving to kind of better themselves.
28:50I just always attract the wrong sort of...
28:53I was attracted to the girls I wasn't attracted to.
28:55Then they say, what you do, and I'm like, I'm a model.
28:58That's not good, though, is it?
28:59No, but at the end of the day, if they're only after you for being a model, why not try
29:04a different line and see what they actually think?
29:06Man, I didn't think I was going to be a model.
29:08What did you want to do, then?
29:11I want to be a pilot.
29:12Really?
29:13Yeah, I want to be a commercial pilot by now.
29:15But then...
29:16Have you ever done her flying lessons, everything?
29:18Yeah, of course I have.
29:19Did you?
29:20I started flying when I was 12.
29:22Sure.
29:22I went solo at 16, and then I got my glider's certificate.
29:27So you can actually fly?
29:29You can actually fly.
29:30I could totally fly a plane.
29:32I bet you could.
29:32You probably could.
29:33It's really easy.
29:34Don't you just, like, push in?
29:36So, like, you pull back to go up, and you push down to go down.
29:46And we got a round two.
29:47Oh, my gosh.
29:48I don't know.
29:50Which one?
29:50Which one is it?
29:51Is that the berry berry one?
29:53That's the purple berry.
29:55Yeah.
29:55We'll share it half each.
29:56That's fine.
29:56Yeah.
29:57Thanks, mate.
30:03I've got that all down my trousers.
30:06It's the old four.
30:07You've got me drunk.
30:09I'm over the limit.
30:11About six, seven drinks over the limit.
30:14So, cabs are involved tonight.
30:15I'll drink you under the chair.
30:17Have you come to the conclusion?
30:19I'm not alive.
30:20It went quite well.
30:22At first, it was a bit awkward.
30:24But, you know, because I'm not used to that sort of thing.
30:27But then it got really, really good.
30:29Come on in.
30:30Let's see it.
30:31Drink up.
30:32Do you want me to down it?
30:33Are you serious?
30:34Do it.
30:35I want to see you.
30:39Oh, someone's been drinking.
30:42Still drinking, are we?
30:43Water.
30:45It's not water.
30:45It has no ice.
30:46Nearly.
30:48Food was amazing.
30:50We'll definitely be back.
30:52We're going to hang out again, and we're going to see what happens.
30:58Second date.
30:59We'll do a second date.
31:00We'll do a second date.
31:01We'll do a second date.
31:02So good.
31:04Go, go.
31:08One kiss there.
31:10One.
31:11On the cheek thing.
31:12There you go.
31:23You're a bath person or a shower person?
31:26I love the bath.
31:27It's like you put a bubble bath in, you're on a different plan.
31:33I'm not a shower person.
31:35It's just not entertaining enough.
31:37I need company in the bath.
31:38Are you propositioning in here or something?
31:41Do you want me to just sing to in the bath?
31:42Yeah, you could serenade me.
31:44I think you'd enjoy it, yeah?
31:46I'd be singing in the bath, no, not me being in the bath.
31:54I'm really hungry, but I'm trying not to, like, scoff my face, because that's probably
31:57not a very attractive thing to do.
32:01Do you want to try some?
32:03Do you want to try some of mine?
32:04Mine's very indulgent.
32:06I don't know.
32:07I don't think I'd want to deprive you of it.
32:08I don't think you look like the type of person that thinks it's the end of the world that,
32:13oh, my God, I've just had, like, a meal.
32:19What's that supposed to mean?
32:22Oh, no, no, I've gone so wrong with that, no.
32:25You look like a fat game.
32:29No, honestly, sorry, I came out the wrong way.
32:34No, I just...
32:35I mean, like, you don't care, but at the same time, like...
32:44I don't know how else to...
32:46I don't know how else to put it now.
32:47It's fine.
32:52He implied I was fat, but he didn't have a great on a date.
32:57It might just be me.
32:59Maybe that's my, like, girly insecurity coming out there, but...
33:08Shall we just discuss the desserts?
33:10Yeah.
33:13I'd like to think that hasn't ruined it.
33:16I'd be really disappointed if it has.
33:18I'll pay some, like...
33:19No, no, no, no, no.
33:19No, no, no, no.
33:20Pay a little bit.
33:21A little bit, please.
33:22Why not?
33:23Because I'm going to put my foot down with a firm hand here, Grace.
33:26Yes.
33:32Hello.
33:32Hello again.
33:34How are you doing?
33:34Yeah.
33:38This is a bit tense now.
33:40This is probably more tense than the actual days, I think.
33:44See you next time.
33:45Oh, thank you very much.
33:47Thank you very much.
33:47Thanks.
33:48Yeah, so it's been really great to meet you, Chris.
33:50Yeah, yeah, no problem.
33:51Thank you very much.
33:52Would you like to exchange numbers?
33:56Okay.
34:01I'd like to see if we can arrange a second date then.
34:06Well, you have my number, so...
34:08So it's not at all then, yes.
34:10You result.
34:21Hi there.
34:22Good evening.
34:23How are you?
34:23I'm good, thank you.
34:24Nice to see you.
34:25Yeah, good to see you.
34:26How are you tonight?
34:2636-year-old Ben's back in the restaurant for his second first date.
34:30Yeah, we'll do that.
34:31Dating is about just brushing yourself off and getting back in the saddle
34:35and pushing on through.
34:40Ben chose Chloe out of the 81 women who applied to date him
34:44after last week's programme.
34:46Yeah, my name is Chloe and I'm 31 years old.
34:50Hopefully this time it'll be a little bit easier
34:52and I'll get a little bit of an easier ride from it.
34:54I don't want to say that.
34:57I saw Ben online.
34:59I thought he came across as really nice.
35:01I just felt the vibe and I thought, yeah, I quite like him.
35:04Chloe seems like a real catch, yeah.
35:07And, um, yeah, I guess that's a little bit intimidating.
35:10No, it might sound stupid but I'm feeling quite positive about it.
35:12I feel like it sort of meant to be.
35:19I'm looking forward to tonight.
35:21I think my heart can take it.
35:23Last week, Ben's date didn't go to plan.
35:26Now he's back in the restaurant hoping for a second chance at love.
35:32Hoping that we're not going to end up with a girl who's too fussy.
35:37Good evening.
35:37Hi.
35:38How are you?
35:38Good evening.
35:40I'm here to date with Ben.
35:42You ladies.
35:43Ben's date this week is Chloe, a 31-year-old city high flyer.
35:48I am an eternal optimist.
35:50I am totally considering a possibility
35:52that this first date might be the last first date.
35:57Hello.
35:57Hey.
35:58How are you?
35:59I'm good.
35:59How are you?
36:01Lovely to meet you.
36:02And you.
36:02I don't know whether it's a good thing that I've been here before
36:05or a bad thing.
36:06Yeah.
36:07Last time I didn't know what to expect, so.
36:09Oh, I thought you were very charming and, um, you know.
36:13Thank you very much.
36:19Do you know what?
36:20I'm just thinking, I'm just thinking, um, pocket, I'm going to give you this.
36:23Oh, yeah.
36:25But that, I think I'm going to regret that.
36:27Well, don't do it then.
36:29You already know you're going to regret it.
36:32That's like, literally, that is the story of my life.
36:37Can we get some, do you want wine, white wine?
36:41Pinot Grigio, white wine?
36:42Mmm.
36:43Of course.
36:44Some of that.
36:45I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to have the oysters.
36:48Of course.
36:49We know this is a bad idea, but we're going with it anyway.
36:51We're doing it anyway.
36:52This whole thing is probably a bad idea.
36:56I think I'm actually quite a nice person underneath.
36:59Uh, and I think I'm actually incredibly sensitive and quite squidgy.
37:03Um, but on the outside, I quite often, I think, I come across as a bit of a cold suit.
37:10I really shouldn't have done this.
37:12You're getting there.
37:12You're doing all right, aren't you?
37:13Yummy, though.
37:14Yeah?
37:15Yummy.
37:15Really yummy.
37:19I know I'm not supposed to put this back.
37:21You know, I've been engaged twice.
37:23Oh, yeah?
37:24Yeah.
37:25I mean, at the same point, we're hiding it.
37:26I might as well just get it out.
37:27Yeah, I've been engaged twice.
37:28There we go.
37:31What can you do?
37:34Get engaged a third time?
37:40And I've been very good in my life at ticking a lot of boxes.
37:44Yeah.
37:44And what I haven't been very good at is, um, this, this is actually all that matters.
37:53This is why I'm here today, basically.
37:56Cool.
37:57There's more to life than ticking boxes.
37:59Mm.
37:59Loads more.
38:00It's about teaming up.
38:02Teaming up, finding a partner.
38:04There's a horizon over there.
38:06Mm.
38:06It's about going and stepping over it.
38:08Yeah.
38:09You know.
38:12Here we go.
38:15Do you think you might be able to step over the horizon with someone that can't eat oysters
38:19very well but loves them?
38:23Possibly, yeah.
38:24Great.
38:32How you doing?
38:32I'm Adam.
38:33And I'm here for a date with Faye.
38:36Faye's date has finally arrived.
38:38Adam's a 25-year-old flight attendant from Northern Ireland.
38:42He was one of a thousand men who applied to data on the first date's website.
38:46All right.
38:48Hello.
38:48Lovely to meet you.
38:49Yeah.
38:50How are you?
38:50I'm all right.
38:51Not too bad.
38:51Not too bad.
38:53Oh, how are you then?
38:54Yeah, I'm not too bad, yeah.
38:56It's cold actually.
38:57I know I brought my jacket last time.
38:59I was freezing outside.
39:00I had a big warm woolly jacket with me.
39:02I tend to attract sweet, kind of innocent girls.
39:06Butter wouldn't melt.
39:07Usually blonde as well.
39:09I hope she likes a hairy chest.
39:12Oh, thank you.
39:13That one quick.
39:15Right, start from the outside and work your way in.
39:18Yes.
39:19I learnt that often.
39:20Pretty woman.
39:23What's your favourite food?
39:25Put the cereal in and bang the milk on.
39:28Yeah.
39:28And you're ready to go.
39:30See, I don't really...
39:30I like mayonnaise, but I don't eat ketchup.
39:33Do you not like ketchup?
39:34Oh, good.
39:34It's not that I don't like it.
39:35I just never tried it.
39:36I'll go through salad cream while there's no tomorrow.
39:38I'm a bit like that with a bit mayo.
39:40I do like mayo.
39:41My friend made me a salad cream curry the other day.
39:43My favourite thing to have is toast with ham on it in the morning.
39:49With ham?
39:50Yeah.
39:50And people are like, it's weird.
39:51I'm like, it's not really.
39:52Like, all my family eat it.
39:54It's just brilliant.
39:55It's so good, isn't it?
39:56Yeah.
39:57Why were we talking about food so much?
40:00I started talking about cereal.
40:02Why, why we're saying that?
40:05I love garlic.
40:06Mmm.
40:07I do.
40:08It's such a bad thing if you're single and you like garlic.
40:11The bad thing is me.
40:12I don't like chewing gum.
40:13Mmm.
40:14Why are we doing that?
40:16I don't know.
40:25Yeah, I'd like to see Faye again, yeah.
40:27I really enjoyed her conference tonight and had a laugh.
40:30See you later.
40:32This is really awkward.
40:35This is horrible.
40:36I've been shaking.
40:36I think we had a really good time.
40:38Yeah.
40:38And I think you're absolutely lovely and you are.
40:42No, don't.
40:43No, I know.
40:43I know it.
40:44No, but I know what we're going to say.
40:46Aw, thank you very much.
40:47I just had a good time.
40:49Aw.
40:52What's wrong with me?
40:53I don't know.
40:58Have you had a good night?
40:59I have actually.
41:00Have you?
41:00Yeah.
41:01I'm actually really, really glad to have met you.
41:03I'm glad to have met you.
41:04I'm glad that, like, someone wanted to meet me.
41:07Yeah.
41:08That's pretty cool.
41:09And quite a few people in my bedroom.
41:10No.
41:11I don't reckon so.
41:12Well, I said you did.
41:14Yeah.
41:15That was cool.
41:15Yeah.
41:17Super, super.
41:18Super, super.
41:18All right.
41:19It's been a good night, hasn't it?
41:20It's been really nice.
41:21Yeah.
41:21It's been really nice.
41:23Go on then.
41:35All right, Ben.
41:36How are you?
41:37How are you doing, man?
41:38I'm good, mate.
41:38And you?
41:39Yeah, not too bad.
41:40So, how's the date going?
41:42Yeah, OK.
41:42I think.
41:43I don't know.
41:44Yeah.
41:44It's hard to tell, isn't it, really?
41:45It is.
41:47I think you summed it up when you said, it's up to the girl.
41:51Yeah.
41:51It's like...
41:52Yeah.
41:53We can like them as much as we want at the end of the day, but...
41:57It's not really up to us at the end of the day, is it, mate?
42:01Like Ben, Edmund is back in the restaurant looking for romance.
42:0632-year-old administrator Liz took a shine to him when she saw him on last week's show.
42:11I think it's so good that you sort of saw me and still wanted to come down and meet me.
42:18That's brilliant.
42:18Yeah, definitely.
42:18I'm so excited and happy about that.
42:21You wouldn't believe.
42:22It's great.
42:23No, I just like the way you came across and everything.
42:25I just thought it was perfect.
42:27I thought it was just lovely, genuine, you know.
42:30Aw.
42:35Hello, darling.
42:36Aw, nice to see you.
42:38Yeah.
42:40How are you?
42:41We've been all my life.
42:43Aw.
42:44Been waiting to meet you.
42:46Ooh.
42:46Cool.
42:47Hit me little head there.
42:50Thank you very much.
42:52Thank you very much.
42:52Take care.
42:53Thank you, son.
42:55So, is there anything else we need to sort out?
42:57Meet tomorrow?
42:59No.
42:59Oh, I need to get your number, don't I?
43:00Exactly.
43:01I ain't got a pen.
43:03What?
43:04Oh, no, we'll put it in the mobile, don't we?
43:06It's modern, isn't it?
43:14Oh, no.
43:21I don't know.
43:21We're going to sit here for a minute.
43:23They're going.
43:23No, they're not.
43:24They're going with glasses.
43:26It's not the most comfortable of the sofa.
43:28No, it's not really.
43:29Am I allowed to get a bit closer to you?
43:30If you want to.
43:32Is that a bit forward?
43:32Is that a bit forward?
43:34Is that a bit forward?
43:35Is that a bit forward?
43:36Well, it is a bit forward, but that's all right.
43:38I can permit that.
43:43I was thinking, if I'm not careful, I'm going to end up snogging this girl.
43:47Because we're a little bit drunk.
43:48We've got them really well.
43:50We're on the safer.
43:51We're close.
43:52You know, it's kind of, you know, we're going to end up with some jiggy jiggy here.
43:58Super-supid.
43:59Super-supid.
43:59Good.
44:03All right?
44:04Yeah?
44:07Good?
44:14Cheers, guys.
44:17Cheers, mate.
44:18Is now to ask it?
44:20I think maybe.
44:21OK.
44:23But I book my easy number unit.
44:26Really?
44:27Is that a bit forward?
44:30It's not really cool, but it's kind of the point of all this.
44:34Yeah, I'll take your number as well.
44:36Okay.
44:36Yeah, maybe we should see each other again.
44:38Yeah, that'd be nice.
44:47Ben and Chloe hit it off.
44:50But sparks didn't fly for everyone at the first date's restaurant.
44:54Some of tonight's daters are still on the market
44:56and still waiting to find their perfect match.
45:00I'm still in the singles queue.
45:02I'd love to be in the couples queue,
45:05but at the moment, it hasn't worked out.
45:08I want to let you know one very important thing.
45:10The reason why my date didn't work out was not because of me.
45:13I love men who are very young-minded and outgoing,
45:19good conversationalist, tall, preferably with hair,
45:24because I love running my fingers through their hair.
45:28You want a funny, humorous, adventurous guy that's going to make you laugh,
45:31that's going to put you on your edge, that's going to give you those goosebumps?
45:33That guy's me.
45:34I'm that man.
45:36I'm waiting for you to get in touch.
45:41If you want to be sat opposite Linda or Rajan this Saturday in the First Dates restaurant,
45:46log on and apply at channel4.com forward slash firstdates.
45:53And there's one other single ready for a chance at love.
45:5635-year-old DJ Terry.
46:00I just wondered if there's any girls out there
46:02who want to have a little cheeky date with an Essex boy.
46:04Give us a ring.
46:06Email.
46:08I'm here.
46:09I'm here a week.
46:11Applications close at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
46:13And if these three don't take your fancy,
46:16there are plenty of other singles who you can apply to date
46:18in the restaurant over the weeks ahead.
